You may have heard us refer to the original Occasionally Crafty girl, our mom! She was always working on something as we were growing up. I don’t think Valerie or I took full advantage of everything that was available to us as kids, but as you can see we both craft a lot now! So […]
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 […]
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 […]

Most of you know that our family spent two years in Seoul, South Korea for our assignment with the military. It certainly was an interesting few years for us with some very high highs and very low lows. We’ve been back in the states for nearly 7 months now and some of those lows are […]
The good thing about browsing the crafty blog world is that I am inspired to make so many projects! The bad thing is that I am inspired to make SO MANY projects! My “Things I want to make” list grows longer each time I log on. I just know I’ll get to it “someday”. This […]
Between blog-surfing and Pinterest, I have probably bookmarked twenty things I want to make in the past week. I probably shouldn’t, since at this point my to-make list is longer than Santa’s naughty list. But I just. can’t. stop. Here’s three things I’m loving this week: 1. This Upcycled Kid’s Creativity Kit from Yesterday on […]

Pablo Picasso said “Every thing you imagine is real.” Now, he was an amazingly creative and inspiring artist. I’m a crafter- I make a lot of things that are my own version of something someone else dreamed […]
