Goodbye 40′s…
Well, today is the last day of my forties…why does that sound so much more younger than 50′s? I have a spectacular birthday of festivities planned thanks to my wonderful family. I am sure I will get used to being 50, but it sure doesn’t sound so great right now. My sister told me this [...]
What I got for Christmas
Merry belated Christmas! Have you recovered yet from all the festivities? I know I was beat today. We had a fun, family filled Christmas weekend with lots of wrapping, cooking and entertaining and of course lots of last minute decorating. Santa was good to me this year, and I couldn’t be more happier with the [...]

I finally got my new camera! I feel whole again! It was weird for me not to have a camera, and my iPhone camera just wasn’t cutting it. Now I get to show you some fun stuff I have done in the last couple of weeks while my camera was away! So get ready for [...]
Christmas Subway Style Sign
I am getting to know my Silhouette machine a little better. It really is a fun machine to play with, especially to make signs. Which I recently did this last weekend, and I must say, it is addicting once you get the hang of it. Subway style Christmas signs and printables are all over blogland [...]

Martha does it again!
I have a love/hate relationship with Martha Stewart. Her Martha Stewart Living magazine and web site are FULL of inspiration and great ideas for decorating cooking and parties, which I love. But then sometimes I look at it all and think I am such a failure, so then I hate Martha {not really hate, [...]

Thanksgiving is over, Christmas shopping and decorating begins…didn’t we JUST do this? A year goes by way too fast doesn’t it? I had a glitch last week during my wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, my camera up and broke! My right hand man is now stuck on the shutter release mode…boo hoo. Good thing is there are [...]

My room got picked for the Apartment Therapy Color Contest!
Wow, I am so darn excited! On a whim a couple of weeks ago, I decided to enter one of my designs in the Apartment Therapy Color Contest. I didn’t hear anything right away, and actually forgot about it. Then this morning I got an email from them saying “Your entry has been selected for [...]
Pumpkin stamping
I got these small pumpkins at the farmers market for my Thanksgiving table. I had planned on cutting the tops off and putting fresh flowers in them. Once I put them on the table, I liked the way they look without the flowers. Today, just for the heck of it, I wanted to see if [...]
