First, I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read Monday's post. If I can't share something crafty with you, the least I can do is share cute puppy pics, right? Frannie is such a willing assistant too. And I'd like to apologize for the technical snafu. Everything appears to be fixed now thanks to my amazing webmaster. Yay! I could tell you what happened but it's long and complicated and probably boring. Time to move on to the … [Read more...] about Sara’s Kit
Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys…
"Houston we have a problem." "I've got a bad feeling about this." "You're going to need a bigger boat." "Hold on, this is going to be bad." "Iceberg, right ahead." Well guess what? Today it is my circus, and those are my monkeys. Today's blog post is suffering from a "host" of issues, pun intended, which I have been unable to correct myself. I had to call in the big guns for some help. And being that it's actually … [Read more...] about Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys…
Five Minute Friday – National Scrapbook Day
Tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day! I think it's kind of cool that one of my favorite hobbies has an actual "Day". Long before our hectic soccer schedule, I used to go to National Scrapbook Day events at local stores. I'd get to spend the entire day indulging in my hobby. For the last several years, I'm lucky if I have time to make just one page on NSD in between games. Now, with the pocket-style scrapbooking method, I can get … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – National Scrapbook Day
Take Note
Some of you know that I have a day job in addition to my Stampin Up business. It is glamorous and exciting, and leaves me little time for stamping. Okay, it's not glamorous. Actually, it's not even really exciting. But it pays the bills. And keeps me out of trouble. Why am I telling you this? Well, it leads to today's project. My Company recently moved our office. We didn't move far, just one floor down. But, with the brand new … [Read more...] about Take Note
Class To Go – Cool Summer
I am so excited to share my next Class To Go. I think this one turned out stinkin' cute! Just looking at it has me counting down the days until school is out and Summer begins. By the time May rolls around, I'm done with homework, tests, studying, and reports. Unfortunately, we have school until mid-June. Ugh. I have my fingers crossed that we don't get anymore major projects this school year. I think AP tests and SATs will be enough with all the … [Read more...] about Class To Go – Cool Summer
Five Minute Friday – Cool Treats
Before I share today's Five Minute Friday card, I wanted to remind you that the Retirement Sale is in full swing. We have just over a month before those products will be gone forever. And sadly, some of them are already sold out. One product that isn't retiring from the Occasions Catalog is the Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelits. You may have noticed the bundle on the Retirement List and that's because the bundle is … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Cool Treats

Scrapbooking With Pocket Pages
Sometimes when I tell people that I scrapbook, I see their eyes start to glaze over as they visualize piles and piles of paper and stickers and punches and just stuff. That's the traditional view of a scrapbooker - that you can't scrapbook without a ton of supplies all around you. I've heard stories from former scrapbookers that they gave it up because it was just too messy. Or that there was too much pressure to create the perfect page. It can … [Read more...] about Scrapbooking With Pocket Pages
