Good morning friends! I hope you had a fantastic New Year Celebration! Brent and I hung out and played games again. We’ve had this RISK board game for YEARS now but it had never left it’s shrink wrap wrapper until last night when we peeled it off and learned how to play. I got my hiney whooped several times. Let’s face it, I don’t do strategy games all that well. It must be ADD… at least that is what I…
Thoughts for Thursday – back? Well sorta. I don’t really want to commit to an every Thursday TFT episode cuz frankly I don’t know that I can really, and well it is Thursday and I am having a deep thought… so here we go… Starting today I will post a TFT when and if the thought strikes me on Thursdays. *grin* Since we don’t have television service at our house (almost 2 years now!) I was reading the news today…
We are snowed in here in Utah today. I still feel a little under the weather and ooogy, but I am going to try to make it up to work today after the weather stops dumping slippery stuff on the highway. I’ve been listening to the news today and there are literally hundreds of accidents up and down I-15. ARgh. I decided to make some good use of my time and tried a project that isn’t really working out so…
I’m sorry that I’m posting this a bit late. I like to have my posts scheduled to go at least the day prior to when they’re due. I’ve been sick with a nasty bug since last Wednesday. I finally found my voice again and now my stomach is having issues. ARGH. LOL! What craziness, eh? So I did find some time to play over the Christmas holiday and played with some more of my Skipping Stones Design stamps. Heather sent…

I think one of my favorite phrases is “better late than never”. It seems to be my life’s motto lately. This has been a fabulous Christmas season this year despite crazy jobs and crazy sicknesses and all the other bits of life that seem to “take over” your life. I’ve really enjoyed this Christmas season even though some of my best laid plans did not come to fruition. (Sometimes you just have to let go of things that aren’t really…
Many of you know that I have a soft spot in my heart for furry creatures, especially dogs. Our sweet Sadie is a rescue puppy. Today I came across a GREAT opportunity to help out some of these special little friends. A Place To Bark is a non profit shelter founded by artist Bernie Berlin (how cool is her name??? Brent and my sister call me Bernie as a nickname – variation of Ernie, long story – sometimes and Berlin…
So far this month we’ve had 4 sketches from Skipping Stones Design. I’ve had loads of fun using them as a springboard to jumpstart my mojo/creativity. I’ve even jumped off the highdive a couple of times and left the comfort of my own little cozy box. Here’s a recap of the sketches and the cards that I’ve created with them thus far. You can click on any of the photos to view larger. Now I want to…
I’ve been a busy girl this past week. I have a lot of schtuff to upload to share, but the days are getting away from me with all this Christmas prep going on. Can u say CRAZY days? This weekend I played around with my Skipping Stones Design stamps again and created this fun little card with the Tropical Birthday stamp set. I really like this set! I tried a few different things with the images, but ultimately I decided…
I was working on a lot of projects this weekend. I can share two of them with you after Thursday when the recipient gets them. (She reads this blog from time to time so I don’t dare share yet.) Today I actually wrote our Christmas letter and printed it out and created a digital Christmas photo card to go with them. I created one last year, too, but never mailed it.. lol… I thought about reusing it and then remembered…
