  • i'm doing pretty good this week. i wanted to share a project a day, and so far, so good. today's simple valentines project is a cute button heart. i started with a styrofoam heart, about 6 inches in size. be careful unwrapping those. mine broke in half, as i was taking off the plastic wrapper. and i was…

  • my goal this week is to share a little valentines project with you, each day. i have a few really cute valentines collections here, and have wanted to use some of each of them. while i'm not a huge valentine's day person in general, i do love the pinks and reds and hearts that make…

  • i have a huge post started about my CHA experience, with lots of photos of the fun people i got to meet. but it's long and it's not done yet. so i think i'm going to save that for tomorrow or monday. in the meantime, i wanted to share a few more of my making memories…

  • i've mentioned to a few friends, that i was planning on making some framed photo collages this year, for christmas gifts. i have one all put together and finished for some of my family. but i don't want to share that one just yet. don't want to ruin the surprise. i created a new one today,…

  • i'm going to cheat a little on todays post. so if you're reading this and it sounds or looks a little familiar, you're not having a deja'vu kind of moment. i really did blog this same post exactly one year ago. lol! but figured it was worth sharing again. there are a few new thoughts…
