It ALMOST Smells Like Spring

As I sit here in my cozy house in my comfy pants watching the snow and ice fall outside, I am contentedly thinking about the signs of spring that are starting to appear.

I am noticing, while reading the many blogs that I’m currently hooked on, that there are quiet a few people embarking on new [...]

A Cool Thing

I love all things vintage. I live in a vintage house. I’ve furnished it with vintage things. I collect vintage postcards. And I’ve never passed up vintage ephemera. So imagine my delight when Teresa McFadden showed us this in her blog:

You can make your own here.

In addition to having the coolest “To-Do” list in town, [...]

I have been working furiously on my crafty “To Do” list, which explains my absence from this blog over the past few days.

We’re Getting Ready for Valentine’s Day

What a busy day! Since the kids decided they wanted to give out store bought valentines this year, we made our own little treat boxes to give out to the class. We made over 50 boxes! It truly was a family affair, the kids, Stephen, me and even Grammy spent time stamping, scoring, cutting, folding, [...]

I’ve Been Tagged!

Now I really feel like part of the blogging community. I was tagged by my new blogging friend Heather who I “met” because I was invited to participate in her circle journal. More on the circle journal in a minute. Now to the tagging. I was tagged to expose 6 of my idiosyncrasies to the [...]
