Today I just have a really simple card for you. Again from the April Kit Country Farm Stand at Pixiedust Paperie. I decided to “age” nearly everything I put my hands on just a bit with a little touch of ink. I inked the beautiful golden crinkled seam binding, the tag edges, the paper edges and even the scrap of fabric I used. To add a bit more interest I also decided to fray the... Read more →

Miscellaneous Monday: Sometimes I sew!

I have had a project on my to do list for nearly three months now! I had told my brother that I would make a baby sling for his newest baby and due to the baby being born just before Thanksgiving and then going right into the holiday busyness and then the CHA rush, not to mention magazine deadlines and other projects that have been requested, it has taken me a while to get it...

Miscellaneous Monday: Simple Autum Earrings

LIFE UPDATE: Thankful...this month we focus on thankful. And while I have much to be thankful for I found that lately I wasn't feeling all that thankful...nope...not a bit... I was feeling...overdone. Burned out. Burned out on life in general. I was sick of homeschooling and was feeling totally uninspired. I felt as though I was just schooling the kids because it needed to be done, not because I love teaching them. I was tired... Read more →
