Sarah and I had another fun craft day together last weekend. I was going for super simple on my layouts, since we usually talk more than we scrap. 🙂 The name was cut with the Silhoutte, it’s only in two pieces. I found that welding (over lapping the letters) is really easy to do, and …

My freaky fall garden
This is a crazy weird fall. Lots of sun (say what?!?!). It’s caused my yard to be beautiful and amazing. I can’t believe how much of it is still green! The leaves are going to be dropping very late this year. My little munchkin and I still find lots to nibble on. My poor confused …
The first cuts
Oh Best scrapbooking (and lots more) tool ever! I’m going to give you a little review, based on my whole three days of ownership 🙂 I am in love with my new Silhouette SD! I took it to my in-laws this weekend and played around with the software (which is brand new and works with …
Sketching
I’m loving this new app Bj got for his iPad. I think it’s called sketchbook pro. I really miss sketching. It’s something I did all the time in art classes in college. These are for my current obsession, scrapbooking. But I’m sure I’ll be experimenting with digital paintings soon.
I hope this isn’t too annoying
I am having serious trouble standing over my layouts and taking pictures of them straight on. Since my lovely daughter has been crazy beans lately and I haven’t a chance to re-take these shots, here are some not so great pictures of my layouts. Gosh I bet that really makes you want to read on …
Just in time!
I’m not going to lie, my day is going from bad to crazier. One of THOSE days, you know mamas, right? I’m eating a lunch of natural cheetos and a full strength Tejava (yes, it’s after three!) as I try to muster a laugh that the garden center sold me cocoa shells instead of hazelnut …
The magical fruit
Today was a super busy totally fun day that involved swim lessons, chickens, a splash fountain, skinned knees, and long drives. But of course I took no pictures so I’m sharing some from a week ago. I got this tub of beans idea from Sew Liberated, who was a trained as a Montessori teacher and …
Showered
I had a fabulous weekend, and I hope you did too! Saturday after our toddler music class we drove to Corvallis for the fall festival. We got to hang out with Sarah who snapped this photo. Ah my two loves! So sweet. Sunday was the shower in honor of Kathy, who is due next month. …
On the brain
Ugh, Bj’s cold attacked me too! Yuck! I hate being sick, and having my ears plugged like this. I’m mostly better but it will be a happy day when I can pop my ears, that’s for sure! One thing I managed to do while sick was make up this cute banner for a baby shower …
Picking in the Rain
This morning their was a break in the drizzle we’ve had for a few days and Tuesday and I worked out in the yard trimming, dead-heading, and weeding. Tuesday didn’t just stick by the tomato plants and eat them non stop like usual (though she did pick a couple of peppers). I think that is …
