It’s been a super long day (as usual). I worked today and then came home and went swimming…. not in MY pool (cuz it’s still filtering and sanitizing) but the brand spankin’ new Payson City Pool! It’s an AWESOME pool complex with a lap pool, kiddie – zero entry pool with kiddie slides and games, spill buckets, water fountains, 2 speed slides, a lazy river, bubble couch and vortex pool (whirlpool). We’ve been anxiously awaiting the completion of this pool…

Hi Friends! I have been AWOL for a while now and I am sooo sorry! We’ve been super busy with the house, Brent’s city council duties, my church responsibilities, our regular day jobs (extra days for me this week), and various other projects around here and I haven’t had time nor the energy to blog or create. Yesterday I cleaned out my laundry room and started some big bags of clothing for our local Women’s Shelter, Goodwill, and such, AND…

Digital Organization & Enabler Alert

Digital Organization & Enabler Alert

Comments 4 comments

So while we are on the topic of organization, I thought I might share how I organize my digital stash (digital scrapbooking supplies AND digital photos AND digital layouts, etc). Last year several girls in my Photoshop class recommended the program ACDSee to me for helping me organize my digital stash. At first I was a bit overwhelmed, but then I found some cool online sources for help and now I love using ACDSee to organize my loot. Basically you…

Thoughts for Thursday: Goals

“As women we wear so many hats that it is absolutely necessary to be organized and do those things which move us toward the goals we have set.” ~Mary Kay Ash Today’s TFT is brought to us from a Mary Kay email ad that I received the other day from my friend, Amaryllis. I thought this was a good quote to share as I am really bad about getting organized to accomplish my goals. I write them down and generally…

I can’t seem to get enough of fun colors lately. Yesterday I picked up some fun stuff at Joann’s to make an apron and a few items to put in my studio for the SOMEDAY that I get to decorate it again. (Too many walls to patch and stuff to repair in the meantime.) I love this color combo! This is a belated birthday card (standard A4 size) that I made for my sister, Elizabeth. Colors are White Daisy, Sweet…

Since everything is still topsy-turvy around here I have been playing around in the digi realm… Every year since we’ve been in this house Brent and I have had a big neighborhood/friend 4th of July Pot luck BBQ & Fireworks party. Each year different people show up and each year seems to be more fun than the previous year. This year I had wanted to make some really cute paper invites, but things are obviously, well u know, so I…

We interrupt today’s blurfing (blog surfing) for a message from our sponsor culprit… (I’m finally feeling up to dealing with some of the photos I took… mostly I just need to get them off my camera card…) This is the culprit… under the carpet in the concrete floor of my once 100% finished, cozy and well loved family room…. It’s now repaired. Thankfully the family room sits on the high side of the house and the poo water did not…

“Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.” I made a whole bunch of these little guys for some girlfriends a while back… Avon had these cute little Disney Princess Chapsticks on sale and I could not resist! And of course you can’t just give them to your girlfriends without some sort of cute packaging…. (You can click on any of the photos to view them larger.) I modeled my package after a matchstick box card and…

Thoughts for Thursday & Sketch {011}

“We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.”—Max De Pree (b.1924), author, former CEO of Herman Miller, Inc. Here’s a 6×6″ card sketch for you this week. You can also turn it into a 6×6, 8×8, 9×9, or 12×12 layout! I’d love to see what…
