Today is my last day posting on this blog. Oh my... one of the hardest decisions to make. I feel like I am breaking up with typepad. I just have had issues with the design capability and also so MANY people had a hard time subscribing to this blog and commenting. It's been a problem for years. My heart was torn... I have been blessed with a massive blog following and I was scared to do this move. What if... Continue reading

I have been having a really hard sleeping. I know it's because I have so much going on. My mind just seems to race. I keep thinking of what I need to do, things I'm not doing well (keeping my house clean enough) and some big things that are happening in my company. I have been really busy the past week with the announcement of my cruise in November. It sold out in 2 days... I added more spots... it... Continue reading

I don't think it's any secret that I love to create mini books. I love all the layering, dimension and variety from making books. One of my new products is the prebound ESSENTIALS ALBUM.

I love Fridays and so I woke up this morning feeling so GRATEFUL. I am super in love with life. I have such a profound love and appreciation for my sweet husband. Right now, I am just thankful that he is able to be out of bed more each day. Even though he doesn't get to leave the house or do much- slowly slowly there is good things to see. My sweet friends and neighbors are helping our family so... Continue reading

I wanted to show you just how beautiful the NEW TC/We R MEMORY KEEPERS albums and card set are. I was so excited to do my very first 12x12 albums and cards with the ALBUMS MADE EASY system.

I wanted... Continue reading

(yes, it's very classic,fresh, light and TC style... but easily able to be darker, vintage and grunge). I... Continue reading

So this morning I did the photoshoot for my next idea book with Northridge. This is my fourth I believe that I have done over the years. I loved where the photogragher Kaycee wanted to do it. We went to downtown SLC and to a office with ALL WHITE walls, brick, windows, tables and the floor was DARK hardwood. Oh my.. it was very fresh and cool. I adored her and she just made me feel at ease from the... Continue reading
