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!

Now, did y’all know Stampin’ Up! has a (fairly) new product line called This-n-That? It’s rather like Smashbooks, but of course way cuter (in my opinion, anyway!). It’s a little grungy, a little scrappy, a whole lot of just plain … Continue reading

Occasionally, I have a lightbulb moment, such as this idea for Nutella S’Mores. Now, I have to say, I don’t care for chocolate, as a rule, and I really don’t like how your toasted marshmallow is never hot enough to … Continue reading
