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!

I’m still wondering how it’s so close to Thanksgiving, y’all. As long as the days have seemed since March, the time has seemed short overall. I’m not advocating we need to stretch out 2020 any longer than it already is, … Continue reading

Creating Cards with Ombre Stamp Pads
Yippee! I finally found some time to play with new Stampin’ Up! goodies! I say new, but they’ve been sitting on my craft desk, taunting and tempting me, for about six weeks now. Hmmm, coincidentally since school ended for the … Continue reading
World Card-Making Day! (and a sale!)
Yep, that’s a thing. And it’s today, October 4, 2014. And no, it’s not invented by Hallmark. Because, really, where were the profit for them be in that? It could possibly have been invented by crafting companies, but I cannot … Continue reading
Semi-Homemade Thank You Notes

Stampin’ Up Fun
So, finally, after almost three years, I had a little Stampin’ Up! get-together. Why did I wait so long? We had such a good time, and I had forgotten how much I loved creating projects, catching up with friends, and … Continue reading
