Stencils That Are Meant To Layer
I had originally titled this post: "Layering Stencils." But since all stencils can be layered it seemed a bit too general. Today I want to talk about a series of four stencils I designed that are meant to layer. Watch the video to see how these stencils layer together to...
ha. yes. i coined the trn phrase. its my secret code.
new year aims . . .

Supper
I may not have made anything with paper lately but I did make something last week that was mm mmm good... Voila! My first pot roast. It was a beaut. I may sample every burger in New York City and try to eat my weight in French macaroons, but I am seriously challenged in the kitchen. I used to...

learn something new everyday . . .
sept 1st - "it's amazing how much housework one can tackle with a half an hour and the proper motivation." - photo: dirty dorm room at fsu circa 1990 - journaling: tidying up for an unexpected dinner guest. I'm having so much fun with my mini-album for shimelle's class, "learn something new e...
you are seriously the awemama ever!
Give a Hoot.
Last week as we were shopping for school supplies, Riely was a bit disappointed to find that her list specifically required her to get plain, solid-colored folders in red, yellow, blue and green. Because Target has a great selection of much cuter folders with puppies, penguins, Paul Frank monke...

youve been pinning like crazy!
pinteresting . . .
do you pinterest? it's quite fun and very inspiring! it's a social media that allows you to "pin" things you've found while surfing. this pinning saves images and their links for future use. i have all sorts of inspiration boards started and hope to actually be inspired by some of them. ...
yep! and lol . . . i think the 7:15 morning start is much worse than the aug. 1 first day start. :)

jbs mercantile august updates . . .
august gallery updates went up last night! if you're a mini-album lover, there are lots of those. i want to make one too; the mini in the project kit is so adorable. it's atc sized and i think i want to do the wilson county fair in mine like jenni did in hers. maybe i will get to that thi...

Get A Clue.
Yesterday Mike spent the day participating in a company-sponsored golf tournament. It's one of the perks of his job: put in several years of 15-hour days, and you'll be rewarded with a day on the links. Doesn't sound like that great of a deal to me, but my idea of hell? Is pretty much chasing ...
ha. i am i mean WAS the blonde! :)
at least now g will let me watch some of the people shows on nick. i am addicted to icarly, victorious, and big time rush. pathetic. we also watch lots of river monthers, python hunters, and swamp brothers.
smorgasbord . . .
my sister found this picture in some of her stuff and gave it to me last week while we were back home visiting with the family. i've always been a photo junkie; it's a rare photo of myself that i haven't seen, so this one was a real treat. i was 12 and she was 24 when she took it. can you ...

i got g's garden journal all caught up today. isn't it cute? i'm so excited! usually i get things done (several months) after the fact, so it's nice to have something that i'm working on that's current. i made it from the 7 gypsies portfolio in the may project kit. even though i kept a...
maybe you could have a girls day out?
daily success . . .
our first week with the "do it daily list" was a resounding success. i logged 23 miles and g logged 10. we have 7 thank you cards ready to go in the mail. the garden journal is almost caught up and i even blogged every day. oh! and i read an entire (quality) book! g and i both got clean ...
ha! i dont know if it hurt, but apparently it scared the crap outta him.
crawdad capers . . .
jeremiah's visiting and the cats are way glad the crawdads are in the house as they've hardly been hunted at all today . . . in this particular vignette, the boys had decided to find out what a crawdad pinch feels like. when this little guy made contact with g's finger he ripped a big one...
