Hooray! River is 2!
I talk a fair bit about Hazel between my blog, Facebook, and Instagram. But I haven't shared as much about River. Today is his day. He is 2! This sweet boy has my heart! He comes to me and asks to cuddle. (Didn't you just melt?) He calls me by name as he runs to me....
Hazel is the Hippest Hippo Ever
Today is blog hop Tuesday with the amazing Tech 4 Stampers Academy group. I am very blessed to be part of this talented and creative group. I joined a website school to learn how to build my website but found so much more than lessons and homework. I found a...
So Many Ways to Watercolor
I didn't know July was watercolor month until Stampin’ Up! shared that a week or so ago. I planned today's post to feature a stampset from the July Card Club Class or the July Christmas Card Class. What's that saying about the best laid plans? Stampin’ Up! published a...
You’re the Coolest
I know you aren't ready for Christmas cards. We are barely into summer. BUT, if we start early we won't be stressed about having enough or scrambling to get them out the door. That's why I start the Christmas Card Series of classes in July. Today's project is so...

You Are Wonderful
I love all the beautiful paper in the catalog and love finding card designs that highlight both sides of the paper. I hope you will be inspired by this design and create some cards that show off more beautiful paper. Thank You You may remember the card I created...
Going to the Birds
I fell in love with the Sweet Songbirds the minute I saw them. I must be drawn to whimsy. I've heard from some of you that they aren't singing your tune. That's okay. The new Annual Catalog is FULL of amazing products; we will get to as many of them as we possibly...
What Would We Do Without Friends?
Today is blog hop Tuesday with the amazing Tech 4 Stampers Academy group. I am very blessed to be part of this talented and creative group. I joined a website school to learn how to build my website but found so much more than lessons and homework. I found a...
The Best Laid Plans, Right?
Let's talk about what I thought I would do this week first. The 2022-2023 Annual Catalog is live tomorrow, May 3, 2022. I thought it would be great fun to share products in a short video each day. I even published a schedule, the same as you see below. Yesterday...
