reading love – on my desk
My “late Monday” post has slid into and “early Tuesday” one. Thankful for a busy schedule that was really productive today. I’m a reader. I have been since I was a kid. I burned through so many books that it annoyed my mother! In a, those-books-aren’t-cheap kinda way. I prowled the aisles on my local […]
handmade shops that inspire – REVolution
I’ve gotten to know Revlie through our shared time on the American Crafts Contributing Design team. When I found out that she also shares a love for other types of crafting besides scrapbooking, I couldn’t wait to check out her shop!

I’m not here to add to the controversy, just give my take. As someone […]
life around here – valentines and getting ready for our urban garden
Just a few photos from yesterday! I cheated {not really!} by freezing half of my cookie dough and undipped red velvet cake balls at Christmas time to make for Valentines! We don’t eat sweets super fast around here, so if I have more than one kind of treat, they don’t get eaten. Waste not, want […]
