I am starting to get a little itchy around my neckline where I got a good burn at the first Clemson home game of the 2015 football season. It was the only place I overlooked a triple application of SPF 55 sunscreen. Last weekend was full of football, family and, yes, fun. (Can’t help but… Read More A little Clemson love
I love the Work of Art stamp set from Stampin’ Up. I have used it for numerous projects and it is so versatile that it pairs well with other stamp sets. I got the idea for one of the cards, this first one, from another designer I found on Pinterest, Unique Ink. Once I started,… Read More You’re A Fabulous Work of Art! Card variations
I feel like yesterday was Monday. I woke up and it is Friday. What a blur. Lots of projects due at work this week, and I don’t like to leave things undone. The good news is two-fold. Only one project left at work and I hope to knock it out today – or at least… Read More Some Cards and Ink
It is about 9 on a Saturday morning and I am about to get started on a full day of crafting. I just need some caffeine. A little sunlight. And lots of glue, paper, glittery bits and memories.

Call me in three years… Read More Gardening: Ten Things I have Learned

Putting together these two passions into one – and having the opportunity to teach it – is a new venture, and… Read More Stampin’ Up… More Happy Found
I am excited to announce that I hit one of my major 2015 goals: be a blog contributor. Ok, so this was really a goal for 2014, but I can rewrite it into my 2015 list. Especially since I hit the goal so early in 2015. My blog post “Here’s Why My Christmas Tree is… Read More Co-Conspirator, Guest Contributor… Keep Your Circle Positive
My trusty carry-on bag is not so trusty anymore. Somewhere between Greenville, SC and Orlando, FL in November, my bag’s right wheel sustained significant damage–and I didn’t realize the extent until today, somewhere in the Charlotte airport around the C terminal. The wheel I thought was just a bit wonky was actually broken. I discovered… Read More Farewell, old friend

Sitting here, writing out the list of things to do within the next 24 hours to prepare for the festivities of Christmas, I find myself forced to focus on stillness. In the last few days, I have been either too tired to put together coherent sentences or too…
I first realized I had an organization issue last week when I couldn’t find the oatmeal and it was right at my feet. It needs to be at eye level since it is healthier for me than the cookies. So I started looking at Pinterest one evening, and at 1 a.m. I realized I needed… Read More Day 1 Christmas Break: Clean up the pantry
