April is here and that means a new Stamp of the Month!  This one is a throw back to growing up with the Partridge Family reruns. In fact, I saw another consultant create an adorable card using the blocks from the bus.  I need to find it again, because it was totally scraplift worthy!  🙂 […]

Let’s Celebrate with a Card and Pie! Okay, I’m not really going to eat pie tomorrow, but I am going to give this card to the math teacher at school who awarded me the Steed of Courage at our last staff meeting.  The math department is providing pie in celebration of Pi Day, so it’s […]

Dr. Maya Angelou Video Inspiration When I got up this morning, I checked my email and in it was a link to this video.  I’m always inspired by Maya Angelou’s words, but this time I was inspired into action.  When she said that we should aspire to “be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud,” a […]

Mojo Monday 485 Sketch I’ve been determined to become a card maker, and I think it is finally starting to happen.  Typically, when I see the Mojo Monday email come through, I admire the sketch and occasionally go check out the cards being submitted.  I don’t ever feel the desire to participate, because I don’t […]

PML Challenge A couple weeks ago, Naomi Smith challenged her Connected Hearts team to create a project using the Picture My Life cards from one of the new paper collections.  She is giving away an extra mini-album kit that CTMH created for the Pinners Conference.  As I REALLY want to win, I decided to send […]

Post-Cleanse Update For the past month, I’ve been cleansing.  I started out with a three-week Standard Process cleanse and then continued with a shake for breakfast and healthy meals and snacks the rest of the day.  Neal has been making amazingly tasty and healthy meals, so it has been very easy.  My goal really was […]
