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!

Carrot Cake Cupcakes and Gift Boxes
Another favorite from the past…delicious Carrot Cake Cupcakes and adorable boxes to hold them. We made these as teacher gifts for Easter last year, using some gift boxes from World Market and adding an insert to hold the cupcakes securely. … Continue reading
Thumbprint Cards for Easter

On a dreary cold Palm Sunday last year, we made these Rainbow Cross pictures. I’d like to take credit for that creativity, but if you’d like to see the original, it’s at Housing a Forest, which is a blog filled … Continue reading
