I saw Kristina’s color challenge this morning and just HAD to play along! I love the color inspiration! So summery! I’m not sure what the weather is like where you are, but we just had a freak cold front come through. Like in the 40′s! Thankfully it’s warmed back up and I can retrieve the [...]

We wanted to go somewhere quiet for our honeymoon. It didn’t have to be too fancy, but we wanted something special and unique. We debated over going to the mountains and even Disney World (vetoed because it didn’t meet the “quiet” requirement.) Through the internet Jack found an artist who rented her retirement home while [...]

I knew I was young- I had plenty of people to remind me- but I knew I was madly in love with him and I didn’t want to wait to marry him. There was a kindness in his eyes and a gentleness to his spirit that drew me to him. Every second away from him [...]
Princess Hailey of Donut Land was a rather picky little princess. She knew exactly what she wanted for her room in her new palace with her first and most important requirement being the color pink. Lots and lots of pink. Queen Mommy worried that pink on the walls would be a little too much, but [...]

Well, I’m not sure if everyone would consider stamping to be an art, but I’ve seen some pretty amazing projects out there in the blogging world. I’m convinced that it’s art- even if it’s art in a hurry! I remember hearing about stamping years ago and saying that the last thing I needed was another [...]
This weekend was all about boys. I’ve been playing around with ideas for baby announcements, but nothing too serious! I used Beate’s weekend sketch for the layout. I don’t think this one would work for an announcement, but maybe for someone else with a new baby. I also used Beate’s sketch to make this card for my [...]

Well, my faithful readers, I had some wonderful pictures of the house to share with you today, but I uploaded them to my desktop and it seems as though the desktop has had all it could take. Yeah, it’s dead. Such a bummer. Thankfully we have the laptop, but now I’ll have to fight my [...]
Welcome to my favorite room in the house, the office and stamp room. It’s like a dream with crisp pale blue walls and white trim. Our friend told us that our house felt a little like a boat, which I totally took as a compliment. It must have something to do with the little portal [...]
It was a feast like no other, tangy and delicious, which brought her immediately to her Yiyia’s table. Can you smell the fragrant lemons, gingerly plucked from the lemon tree just moments before? They all devoured it as though they had never eaten before and sat back with happy, full bellies. It was simple food, [...]
Friday night was “Girls’ Night” at our house. I feel so blessed to have so many young girlies in our city! We got together after the girls finished their classes in the evening and made a big spaghetti dinner. I tried a new recipe (which is always dangerous when guests are coming!) for Spaghetti sauce and [...]
