There are so many things I do and do well, but taking ideas off Pinterest and making them even resemble the original intent is certainly not one of them. I don’t really have a knack for being creative with food, my attempts at mimicking home decorating ideas fall short, and let’s not even talk about… Continue reading Take that, Pinterest

More Stuff I Don’t Do…
There’s a certain comfort that comes from knowing who you are, from acknowledging your strengths and living within your limitations. And then there are those times you get squeezed out of your comfort zone and pushed into challenging those limitations. First it was running. I’ve already posted about that one. Next, it was making centerpieces… Continue reading More Stuff I Don’t Do…
“Card” to believe
Let me begin my post by reminding you of one simple truth about me: I don’t make cards. I’ve explained it before, in great detail. I’ve even reiterated it in not-so-different terms. So imagine my surprise when, over the past few weeks, I’ve made not one, not two, but THREE separate card designs. I know! … Continue reading “Card” to believe
I will CUT you…
As you probably know, I’ve been out of touch lately. Since Thursday, I’ve been holed up with 6 other women in a little house in Denton scrapping my life away. Four consecutive days of scrapping can make one a little stir crazy, so we decided to liven things up every once in awhile. And this… Continue reading I will CUT you…
I’m such a card…one that needs to be dealt with
Warning: this is a brag post. Shameless, unabashed, over-the-top bragging. Maybe even a little boastful. But I’m okay with that. Because it’s about a card. Not just any card, but a card that I made. And you see, I don’t make cards. It’s just one of the quirks that makes me so lovable. But I… Continue reading I’m such a card…one that needs to be dealt with
Threads of Gratitude: School Backpack Edition
Today is the last day of school. Wow. 180 days of learning…over. My baby’s first year of school…done. How in the world did this happen? I’ve already written a post expressing my gratitude for their teachers and the staff at McGowen, so I won’t repeat myself. But I do have to brag a little. Because… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: School Backpack Edition
New Years Resolutions: 2009
The calendar proclaims that it’s already Day 2 of 2009 and here I sit, with not a single New Year’s Resolution penned. I guess it’s time to remedy that. As I’ve said before, I don’t like making resolutions. It’s too easy to fail at a resolution: you break it, and you’ve failed. So since I… Continue reading New Years Resolutions: 2009
Braggin’ Rights
The world of papercrafters is large and vast. So many possibilities exist, so many new territories can be explored. Scrapbooking is one of them. Cardmaking is another. Many who scrap cross over to cardmaking. Many who create beautiful, hand-made cards also enjoy designing gorgeous scrapbook pages. I, however, am not one of them. In all… Continue reading Braggin’ Rights
“Goal”post: Month 2
See how far behind I am? Here it is, only 2 weeks away from ending the 3rd month and I’m just now writing my “goal” post for the 2nd month! Better late than never, I guess!Â
“Goal”post: Month 1
We are officially one month into the New Year, and in order to help keep myself accountable I’ll be keeping track of my progress toward reaching my 2008 goals with a monthly “goal” post. (Get it? “Goal”post? Goalpost? Oh, never mind…) Goalpost #1: Creativity The results on the calendar speak for themselves: an average of… Continue reading “Goal”post: Month 1
