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 …

Spring Fling
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 …

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 …
Disgusting, sick, and everything I thought it would be.
Oh snap! I love this camera! I have only used it a tiny little bit, and not in much daylight, as it came late. But so far, OMG it’s awesome. I still have major learning to do. I would have had more time to work on that tonight, but my dad had to go get …
