Hey Betty! I've loved their products for a long time, but just hadn't used the pocket pages. Other than that, I've been a dedicated fangirl. ;)

Dilly Dally Banner and a Giveaway!!!!!
I bought these windows out of the back of some guy's pickup a few months ago and haven't known what to do with them. I finally decided to make a little Spring banner, I figured its a fun way to dress it up a bit without making a commitment :) I used the Dilly Dally design card to make the ...

Homeschool: Reviewing for a Test
One of my favorite ways for the boys to review for a test of terms (or to have a pop quiz) is to make a crossword puzzle for them using Discovery Channel's Discovery Education site. On the home page, there is a "in the classroom" and "at home" section. The puzzle maker is what I use. You don...

On my way to Atlanta for a conference, and I have all these random observations I feel I must share. They aren't really scrapbooky, and they aren't 30 Minute Martha-related, either, so I will post my snarky comments here: 1. Who on the planet DOESN'T know that you can't take a bottle of water through security??? Geez, the dude in front of me must have been in a coma for the last 10 years. He looked completely shocked when the security agent told him he had to drink it or dump it. Duh. There should be a screening process for... Continue reading

You may remember that I wrote a series on scraplifting when I hosted for Write.Click.Scrapbook in January. I talked about how scraplifting is an awesome way to blast through scrapper's block, combat perfectionism and overwhelm, and in general get your scrapbooking jump-started. I still think th...

5 Ways to Be a Multitasking Mom
People often ask me how I get so much done and keep so many balls in the air. It doesn't seem like I'm doing anything special, so I usually answer with some kind of flip answer like, "Oh, I rarely bathe," or, "My house is really messy!" But that is not completely true. Upon further reflection, I...

A little break
Sorry to do this to you, but I'm overwhelmed! I've got a lot of fun projects brewing, and I'm trying to integrate/evaluate everything. So this blog is going on hiatus for a tad bit of time. Don't worry... you can still find me here: Multitasking-Moms where I talk about parenting, juggling it all (haha!), making your ideas into reality, and other random stuff. Or here: 30-Minute Martha, home of the 30 minute mommy, crafter, organizer, homemaker, chef, etc. where I just started a series on 10 ways to connect with your pre-teen. Or here at Layout A Day for all... Continue reading
