Welcome

I have been working on lots of projects lately, but none of them have really involved too much stamping. So yesterday, when I reached a point in two other projects where I needed to pick up some more supplies, I set those projects aside and picked up my stamps. What fun! I made this Welcome [...]

Sometimes the Universe Freaks Me Out

This was my email from the Universe this morning:

It’s not a matter of whether or not you can afford it, swing it, or handle it, Denise.
It’s a question of whether or not I can.
And I can.
The Universe

Not so unusual, unless you know that my daughter’s trainer just told us that one [...]

Lest We Forget

My humble thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has ever lost a loved one as a result of war. I am deeply appreciative for the sacrifices our men and women in the armed services make in order to preserve our freedom. You are our nations heroes. Amen.

Three Horse Women and a Nice Story

Today, I decided to show you the bottoms of three more glass boxes before they are actually bottoms. I think you’ll be able to see the collage better (and they were much easier to photograph). But first, I’ll tell you a really nice story.

Did you ever have one of those days where you thought the [...]

Jack of All Trades

The number of hats a mom has to wear never ceases to amaze me. I am always saying that I’m a “Jack of all Trades and Master of None”. But I’m still surprised at the things I do on any given day.

Take today, for instance. This morning I made this adorable baby card for a [...]

A Couple of Quick Projects

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to do things once. I really enjoy coming up with ideas and executing them. I tend to put a lot of touches into things. My problem comes when I have to make multiples of the same item. Making more than one of something tends to take the [...]

I Lived to Tell About It

Hi Everyone.

I made it through the crazy H S A volunteering week and the big Vacation Bible School kick off this weekend, but I’m too exhausted to blog about it. I have some really cool things that I want to work on and show you, but they’re going to have to wait. This is one [...]

Don’t Worry, I’m Still Alive

Just a quick post to let all of you loyal readers know that I am, in fact, alive and I’m not throwing another art temper tantrum. I am just out of time. This is the final “Hurrah!” for the HSA (our version of PTA). I am running two fundraisers this week and I’ll have absolutely [...]

Mother’s Day Musings

At our house, in addition to the usual Mother’s Day church service, plants, and homemade gifts from little fingers that each year get less little, Mother’s Day usually involves some of this:

So as I was planting my sixty-four little impatiens plants today, along with the other plants and flowers pictured here, I had plenty of [...]

How Do I Relax?

This month’s circle journal has “Relax” as the theme. We are supposed to create a two page spread about relaxing. That’s not an easy task for someone who doesn’t relax or even like to relax. So I created pages using images of ladies in repose with quotes I found about relaxation. I also had to [...]
