Today as promised I have 2 more months of my 2010 Calendar. This is for March. I took the photo one day with the help of my tripod. Colin and Evan thought it was funny and I fell in love with this photo. It’s hard to believe it’s almost a year old. C...

Christmas has come and gone, but the kids are still home from school for another week. We got a lot of snow in the past few days and it’s nice to be inside where it’s warm and cozy. It also means I can finally share the big My Digital Studio project I worked on for my Mom and Roger’s Mom. I ma...

Thanks to all of you who have posted or e-mailed me well wishes! I actually recovered from whatever I had and then actually got the same stomach flu that the kids had. I spent Friday night, Saturday and Sunday in bed. Monday was the first day I felt well enough to do anything...

While we are recuperating I didn’t want to leave you with nothing to see on my blog, so I thought you’d be interested in these Holiday Gift Ideas from Stampin’ Up! Remember that there is the 12 Days of Holiday Sales on a number of the Big Shot dies. You ...

There is nothing like getting a box full of new goodies to put you in a stamping mood. Here are a few sneak peeks for you of products in the upcoming Occasions Mini catalog. The new stamps are fabulous...

I have a get well card I have to get in the mail, so I figured it would be nice to go toward a bright sunny palette and use some of my new items. On this card I used the sentiment from Thoughts & Prayers along with Sweet Pea felt flowers that I earned for FREE! and Sweet Pea designer series paper...

This week I was going to take Evan and drive the baby shower present to my parents house. The upcoming weather changed that and I ended up driving it there yesterday. I was going to wait for a sunny moment to photograph it, but instead in my rush I had to use my light box...

I have another baby shower coming up in a little over a week. In the past I’ve made tins with gifts inside where the tin can then be used as a keepsake. Well I’ve run out of tins and I wanted to try something new. This time I decided I was going to make a diaper cake. I ...

It has probably been two years since I wrote the Double Pocket Bag tutorial for Splitcoaststampers. It is based off of a project I saw demonstrated at the Louisville Regional that I had attended. Since then all of the tutorials on SCS are being updated to add video tutorials to them...

Yesterday afternoon I took Evan to an appointment at the immunologist. He was there for a follow up visit and while I was there I took along his latest blood test results from our pediatrician. We got some wonderful news...
