I found this video online for this project and was completely inspired to try one of my own. Sorry for the poor image. Our camera has problems. I cut out the E and our last name in white cardstock to use as a stencil. The video uses Cricut stencil material, but I find if you […]

The internet is full of fabulous travel ideas for younger kids!  The only problem is, my kids are getting a bit too old for a lot of them.  Still, I don’t really just want to hand them an iPad and say “Have at it!” until we get to our destination!  If you’re there with me, […]

Well, my intentions were good.  I had hoped to finish off my reunion scrapbook pages so I could showcase a different theme this week.  It just…..didn’t happen.  So again, this is using the Festival Collection from Shabby Princess.

Do you Swag?  I have been earning swagbucks for about 2 months now.  I don’t sit at my computer all day- I just use it for my search engine, take a few polls and surveys, and occasionally complete a (free) special offer.   They also have bonus codes through the day.  I don’t always get […]

I LOVE my Silhouette!  And I love it even more now that it can cut fabric! I was graciously provided with some of Silhouette’s fabric interfacing and a fabric blade to try out (along with a new cutting mat- woo-hoo!).  Let me tell you, I’m thrilled at the possibilities this opens up for me!   […]

This is the post where I am going to show my social-media ignorance.  What is a Tumblr, and how does it work? A few weeks ago I saw a quotation “pinned” on Pinterest that I really liked.  Not only did I like what it said, but I really liked the visual impact of the way […]

Memorial Day is coming up soon, and I know you’re dying to deck your halls patriotic-style.  Or maybe that’s just me.  Anyway, I’ve put together a few ideas, both from our blog and from some of our crafty friends. First, you can’t go wrong with a simple Star Banner.    You can also make a […]
