Rosey Heart Shadow Box

February 1, 2010

I’m SO excited about this. This project is something I’ve been wanting to do for YEARS and finally decided today to just do it, for crying out loud. I’m really happy with how it turned out, imperfections and all! These dried roses have a very special meaning to me, they are roses Jaden has given […]

Annie in the Nutcracker–Dec. 2009

January 8, 2010

Who can believe that we are here in 2010, a new decade??? I love the feel of the fresh new start of a new year. We spent the week after Christmas/the first few days of the new year in Maui with Jaden’s family—it was heavenly. Definitely hard to get back to the regular routine and […]

Thankful.

Halloween 2009

November 10, 2009

I’m probably the last person on the planet to blog about Halloween, but that’s okay, right? Unfortunately I got really sick (again) for about a week and had a billion things going on, which severely affected my computer time and hence, the lackage of posts. But I’m feeling much better now and am tackling my […]

The Story of the Forlorn Hobo (aka Halloween circa 1982)

October 26, 2009

Fall leaves, festive Halloween crafts, and a freebie

October 19, 2009

Aaaaand……I’m back! We’ve had the sniffles and more at our house the past week, including a trip with Annie to Primary Children’s ER (she ended up with viral respiratory infection and improved greatly after a nebulizer treatment and suction) so life has definitely not been boring. I was also able to spend the weekend at […]

I’m back! Thanks for your lovely comments. I’m going to do my best to post more often but not get too bogged down if I don’t get everything posted. So this weekend I was desperate to see some of the fall leaves before it was too late, especially since it has already snowed here!! So […]
