Aw, Scrap #003: Fridge Magnets

Who doesn’t want to add a little love to the fridge?  For me, my fridge is a constant companion, not because I’m always digging in it looking for calories but because I spend way too much time in the kitchen – and no matter where I am in said kitchen, the fridge is um, right next [...]

Daily Dose #018: Turkey (The Country, Not The Bird)

There are a ton of stops on my list of places to visit someday.  Near the top is Turkey – specifically Istanbul.   (Cue the catchy-ass They Might Be Giants tune:  ”Now it’s Istanbul not Constantinople, now it’s Istanbul not Constantinople…”)  The colors and patterns that are present in just about every photo I’ve seen from this country make me totally awestruck.  [...]

No-Sew Felt Envelope (Give Pretty #003 Sneak Peek!)

My craft space, which I just cleaned, is now in its rightful element (i.e. messy) in anticipation of February’s posts for my three monthly series’ (Aw, Scrap, Gimme 5, and Give Pretty).  I’ve been working on the projects and photos for all three and I thought it would be fun to give a little sneak peek by [...]

I spent some time in the basement the other night cleaning up remnants from Christmas and trying to get my creative space organized the way it is organized in my mind.  (Tall order)!  Good progress is usually made until I get to my cart of paper and the stacks of scraps that seem to always [...]

Daily Dose #017: Doodling

Doodling is awesome, right?  If you don’t think so, you should probably check out this link.  Or do a Google image search.  Your face will melt! This stuff is art, not child’s play.  But it’s awesome because it can be whatever you want - yet it doesn’t have to be anything.  (My other fave in the link [...]

Daily Dose # 16: Dreams

Today’s Daily Dose of Awesome is dedicated to Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy.  May we all find a cause or a dream that stirs us so vehemently, so absolutely, and have the courage to fight for it every day! It’s fitting that I just finished a book titled “The Science of Making Things [...]
