Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

Shrink Plastic Leaf Charms
Here’s another project I first shared on Live Creatively Inspired earlier this month. I’ve worn mine frequently and received lots of compliments, which I love! I really do have a problem with shrink plastic, y’all (aka Shrinky Dinks)…especially the kind … Continue reading
Impossible Pumpkin Pie Bites
I shared these fabulous Pumpkin Pie Bites over at Live Creatively Inspired a few weeks ago, so perhaps you saw them then…if not, this recipe is definitely one to print out or bookmark or whatever you do with keepers. You … Continue reading

TBT: Punched Paper Bat Charm
So I made this necklace last year, and I wore it frequently during October…then…guess what? I totally forgot I had it! This morning, while dressing to go volunteer with the second graders, I spied it while perusing my jewelry rack. … Continue reading
Easiest Caramel Dip…Ever!
And I’m not exaggerating! I mean, sure, you could buy a jar of caramel, pour it in a bowl, and that would be easier…but not much. And it wouldn’t be homemade by you, now would it? This sublime caramel is … Continue reading
