From an old geezer to weezer
Dudes today I took grandpa to the back and spine doctor. We’ve been to this doctor before and grandpa loves the guy (you know as much as he is able due to his um, lack of trust with the medical profession). The doctor, Dr. Heros (I know! And he really is) was in the Army …
Breakfast, that’s right I’m up.
First for Erin The cupcakes. Emilie brought a Sprinkles mix. When we got to the frosting part I realized we only had about half of the needed powdered sugar. I looked online for a substitute and it turns out you can get out the mortar and pestle and grind it into a powder yourself. So …

I know, I know, I’m alive can you believe it? I just sent out a Ribbon Jar email with fun stuff like this: I’ve only gotten to play with it a little bit, but hopefully I should have some time soon to crank out some more projects from this yummy batch of stuff (if you …
Ribbon Jar month
Bad blogger here checking in to basically tell you I’m going to continue to be a bad blogger. 🙂 Sorry but it’s true. This month is going to be super exciting Ribbon Jar wise, but otherwise I doubt much will get done. Why is it so exciting? Ribbon Jar turns three this month. I really …

The Yarn Harlot!

More scrappy goodness
Yesterday I got to do some more scrapbooking and I whipped out nine layouts. I am seriously on a roll here! I love having all my pictures printed! I also took the time to try a couple of techniques I’d been wanting to. Please forgive the spotty picture taking. I’m not at home, I’m watching …
Light box
I finally made that light box I said I was going to make. I found the directions here. I am going to use it for Ribbon Jar, but sampled today with some of those scrapbooking layouts that I’ve been whipping out. I still need to figure out everything. Basically what I am doing now is …
