Bring spring inside with this colorful Spring Subway Art Chalkboard! Wow, it’s been awhile since I posted. To be honest, when it’s cold and snowy/rainy/foggy, I have very little motivation to do anything except sit on the couch in a warm blanket, reading a book. Of course, I have to participate in real life, but […]
If you’ve been a reader for awhile, you know that one of my favorite things to use in crafting is vinyl. I have a Silhouette Cameo, and I put it to good use making all sorts of vinyl art for my home. This Christmas season, why not display a plate with a custom vinyl […]
In my church, I teach Sunday School to the adults in our congregation. It’s called Gospel Doctrine class and it just might be the most intimidating responsibility I’ve ever had. I’m no scriptorian, but I do have a love of the scriptures and the gospel that help me teach this class. One of my biggest challenges is […]

You know how I talked about how I wanted to focus more on my home this year? Definitely one thing I need to do is organize better. I’m pretty good at keeping the areas guests see clean and uncluttered. But if you could peek inside my bedroom, or even worse, my office/guest room/craft space, you […]

Have you ever felt something drifting away from you? I consider it a blessing to experience this feeling often in my life. Once in college, my boyfriend told me that he loved me (over the phone, but that’s beside the point). I knew when he said it that I didn’t feel the same way, but […]
Quite awhile ago, I found this great idea for a chore chart on Pinterest. It’s “uploaded by user”, so I can’t give any credit for the idea. If you know who it belongs to, please let me know! **UPDATE! I found this chore chart at this link, though I’m not 100 percent sure it is […]
Living in Phoenix, the Splash Pad is a staple of summertime entertainment. When we visited our family in Oregon last summer, we were excited to find they had recently opened a splash pad in Redmond. Here’s the layout I created to remember our trip to the splash pad with the cousins. It is on a […]
I decided to participate in C.R.A.F.T. ‘s Package Pals exchange for April. Basically, you get paired up with a partner, who you get to know a little. Then you send each other cute crafty things! I was a little nervous because I’ve done exchanges in the past where my partner didn’t reciprocate. But I lucked […]
