Monster Valentines
Image
As soon as Christmas ended, I moved right onto Valentine's Day cards and so did the buyers! I am very impressed with all the early birds out there. I was a bit thin on monsters in my Valentine category so I picked up a stamp set from Taylored Expressions and... Continue reading

Already Christmas Eve
Image
I have to say that December has flown by. Of course it hasn't been helped by the fact that I got my traditional Christmas season cold right on schedule. The last week and a half have been a bit dicey but I'm determined to send this cold on it's way!... Continue reading

Semi-Handmade Christmas Cards
Image
I had great plans for December and here it is, already the 10th. My lack of production is actually the perfect lead-in to today's topic: the Christmas card. Every year I try to juggle creating the family Christmas card with everything else going on in our world. This year was... Continue reading

Image
This month leading up to Thanksgiving, I've been busy creating table decor items that help add a little extra touch to your holiday table.

Friday Finds
Image
Taking a quick break from stamping turkeys for a blog post drive by. This week I discovered two new foods that I thought I'd share. First, the almond milk yogurt. I admit it. I don't like yogurt. Never have. After going vegan, I tried the coconut milk yogurt (just okay)... Continue reading

Book for the Week: Divergent by Veronica Roth
Image
My kids love to read. I can relate. I spent hours with my nose in books growing up and loved being transported to other worlds through a well written set of words. In fact, I still do. These days I read a lot of YA (young adult) books. There are... Continue reading

Quick Weekend Wrap Up
Image
October 1 - wow - the month of September was a total blur. This weekend, as all autumn weekends this year, was filled with the kids' sports. Even though I could bore you with 10,000 pictures every week, I've decided to just throw out a few from each weekend. That... Continue reading

I love Halifax. I think it's become one of my new favorite places. It was definitely my favorite port of the week and as a result, I think I have to do this post in two parts because I just couldn't stop clicking pictures. That morning I hauled everyone out... Continue reading

Baby's First Birthday

I have many themes for the cards I make (and sell) but this month I was stumped. I had to send a baby's first birthday card and realized that I had not one specific card for that theme. Yes, I know I could have used something more generic that would... Continue reading

Shamrock Turns Three
Image
We were on vacation when Shamrock had his birthday (he's three!) so I'm clicking a few pictures after the fact to celebrate his third year. He just got his hair cut so he's looking nice and neat, rather than his scruffy self. The hardest part about going away is leaving... Continue reading
