This post was created in partnership with Snapfish. All opinions are my own. I love taking photos!  But, I can’t say I am the best about doing anything with those photos.  So, when I was given the opportunity to partner with Snapfish to create a photobook, I jumped at the chance!  My son had just […]

Okay.  Truth.  I get a little envious when I see beautiful craft rooms like this. source I browse Pinterest and easily get down on myself when I see amazing, creative crafts someone came up with, like this: source Does that ever happen to you?  Do you compare what you have or what you’ve made to […]

Well, while we’ve been experiencing near-record heat here in Phoenix, with the weather that most of the country has been having, it seems like this Valentine’s Day will be perfect for cuddling up with someone you love, watching your favorite romantic movie and sharing a giant size box of chocolates. Perhaps you have something a […]

My sister-in-law and her friend have this great sewing blog, Made on Maple, where they keep track of all their sewing projects.  They even have some great tutorials.
