First, thanks for all the get well wishes. I think I had food poisoning. And every time I say food poisoning I think of Ralphie from A Christmas Story. You know, where he had to have his mouth washed out with soap for saying that bad word. So he’s laying in bed - I think […]

I was mentally preparing myself for the joy I had planned for last night once the boys were in bed. I was going to stamp, stamp, stamp. I haven’t stamped for a while and was looking forward to spending an evening creating, when it hit me. And it stayed with me. I’m sick. It started […]

We’re having a bit of afternoon excitement for us SoCal residents. Rain, thunder and some hail!
I love the lighting from the clouds so I took out my camera to catch the boys looking out at the rain (still in their pjs, I know, I know)
That was Owen’s reaction to the thunder clap!
Hope […]

I have a confession, I’ve been reading instead of stamping!
I got The Host just before Mother’s Day and finally had time to sit and read. I finished it yesterday and really enjoyed it!
I used to read quite a bit, so I’m happy to have a couple more “must reads” coming out in the next […]

LOL!! I’m still in the midst of reorganizing my room. I had a few setbacks last week, Perrin got hives and was a poor itchy guy for a few days, then my back went out Saturday night. I’m doing better now, but still taking it easy.
Anyway, we went to see Ironman opening weekend and loved […]

I got a couple questions on my cubbies and realized I forgot to link them! They are from Ikea, too! I do love that place, almost as much as I love Target! And that’s a lot!
The tall cubbies are this one: Expedit bookcase (tall)
We have two of those in our house. One is […]

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. My room is a MESS!! It exploded before SoCal StampMania and just hasn’t recovered! I am now determined to get this room reorganized so I can feel creative again. I can’t seem to focus when my room has exploded, go figure. ;)  So by posting it […]

Jami’s been asking for updated pictures of the chickens, but I keep forgetting to go take them. I finally did it today after washing down the backyard for them. So this one’s for you, Jami! 
Here is MeMe, a Rhode Island Red (P.S. MeMe does have two legs, LOL!!! The angle is a little funny, but […]

Just saying a quick “hi”!
SoCal StampMania is just a few days away! Which means I get to pick up Jess from the airport! Then I get to have Debora for the weekend, too!!

 It’s crunch time for Joy, Jami and me with SoCal StampMania coming up fast in just NINE days!! Yikes!! It’ll be crazy around here these next several days, but once Saturday hits it will be worth it! I love putting SCSM together every year with Jami and Joy! This year marks our fifth for hosting the event and we can’t believe […]
