D.I.N.

July 31, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Do It Now. My Grandfather told me about the “DIN” method when I was a child. Granted, it usually involved cleaning up some mess I had made but, as I have matured, I have once again come to appreciate the wisdom in his words and how it applies to living.
Life is too precious to waste [...]

When I was about 6 or 7, I had got it in my head to run away from home. My Mother, being the astute and ever loving being that she is, told me that she would miss me terribly and offered to help me pack my suitcase. While we were packing, she told me about [...]

Skeleton Keys

July 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment

My Grandparents are amazing folks. I think one of the reasons I continue to document my memories is for a purely selfish reason….I never want to forget them or their stories AND, I want my children to have something so they can look back and see the amazing gene pool from which came. When I [...]

Mini Albums

July 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment

I have a confession…I love Mini Albums. I love the fact that they are quick and easy and force folks to keep to the point and not over think things. Having less space to work with, gives us the opportunity to focus not only on composition, but how to get to the story in few [...]

Trends vs. Fads and Home Sweet Home

July 24, 2008 | 3 Comments

Fads are things that are around for a season or two, trends on the other hand, can define a generation….RayBan sunglasses, rolled peg-legged jeans, and big, overly highlighted, teased, hair…. can we say 1980’s. Catch my meaning here? I remember when folks said “scrapbooking” would be a fad and that people would not really spend [...]

Part 3 of CHA Thoughts
In addition to hanging out with our very own Jennifer Perkins over at the Duncan booth at CHA, I was geeked about some new things Duncan had hanging there on the wall….Crafty Chica was in the house!

Part 2 of CHA thoughts….
I think my first post alluded to the fact that folks are using scrapbooking materials in untraditional ways and well, making them their own. My friend Sarah Moore has a wonderful site called Craft Critique and she pointed out 2 of the many things that I totally went nuts over at [...]

Oh Scrap…Little Boys

July 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment

In our house, boys are bad and girls are expensive. This applies to pretty much everything including crafting. My daughter is notorious for using mass quantities of bling while the boys gravitate towards copious amounts of paint and glue. Nonetheless, it is always an adventure when they start creating….
I got a peek at Samantha Walker’s [...]
