Hello I'm also a Stephanie who loves to play with paper. I too need to be a better blog reader and stop lurking and try and contribute to the conversation.

Recently I read a message board post. The author was asking if personal blogs were a thing of the past. My first thought? I sure hope not! My second thought? I have no idea. I mean...I initially wanted to shout NO WAY! But then I realized that I honestly don't know. There aren't as many commen...
Amazing! So many awesome touches that make it special!

Harper's Mermaid Party
First, let me start of by saying I got almost all of these ideas from Pinterest. Pinterest is pretty much the best party planning resource EVER. You can see my party board HERE. I'll share sources for as many items as possible...and if you have any questions I'll answer them in the comments, ...
So well said. I used to love it when someone would be-little my plans because they were so "busy!" Case in point-- I was attending an all day crop and the conversation with said individual went like this:
Very Busy Person: How long is this event?
Me: 10-10
Very Busy Person: That's 12 hours
Me: Yes it is
Very Busy Person: Well it must be nice to have that much time on your hands
Me: Yes, yes it is. I don't do it often so it is nice to choose to take the time once in a while to enjoy something I love.
That was the part she didn't understand. You can choose to be so very busy all the time or you can choose to enjoy things and perhaps let the beds remain unmade or the dishes stay in the sink for a day.

busy.
source This is the time in my life when I am ridiculously busy. Everyone I know is ridiculously busy. It's the season of carpool lines, sports, ballet, gymnastics. It's the season of "blink and you'll miss it". There are grocery trips, loading the girls in and out of the car 293480238 times a ...
I'd love the workshop!

A friend and I are going to make snowflakes today. I figured, I have lots of scrapping tools so lets have some fun with this project. Some other ideas I've seen for the acts of kindness that look fun are:
pay for the car behind you in the drive-thru
tape quarters to a parking meter
tape coins to a gumball machine
leave a dollar with a note in the toy section of the dollar store for a child to find
Have a fun time with your girls

Hey y'all! How's it going out there in blogland? It's been so quiet lately. I know that I'm brokenhearted and I bet many of you are too. So let's talk. If you are reading this, I want you to say something. Yep, even you blurkers (blog+lurkers) that I love so much. Yes, even if you are reading G...

Hello my friends! November is literally flying by. My baby turns 7 this week. Seven years old. He's my baby, though. Isn't he? I think I blinked and those baby days were gone. :( Seven + 30 years is the age I will be the day after his birthday. That doesn't seem right does it? It's amazing ho...
I'll check the license of the file and let you know if I'm able to sell it or the SVG I created from it. It appears that Digicute now longer has an Etsy storefront.

The Party Wrap Up
Saturday was party day at the Geek Household. I think it went great! Everyone had a great time including Dr. Geek & I. Last year we were so rushed that Dr. Geek didn't get a chance to jump into the shower before the first guests arrived. My goal was to have everything done prior to the guests ge...
I love the American President and I was a huge fan of West Wing. I have almost all the seasons on DVD. Perhaps I should bust those out the next time I want some company while scrapping.

I've had way too much couch time lately and am slowly on the mend. While I've been hiding out in my cave, I've been enjoying some of my favorite DVDs that I seem to watch every fall. You've Got Mail: I've gone on and on and on about how much I love this movie, but in my mind it is the quin...

Why is there sand in the trunk of my car?
This is an odd question to ask, I admit. I called Dr. Geek from the parking lot of a local grocery store today to ask just that question. He had recently been in my trunk cleaning out water in my spare tire well that had seemed in during our torrents of rain a few weeks back. He had no idea why...
