Savor the Journey

  At last, there’s time to create & share again!  The beautiful Christmas week is a part of our memories now, and the wrappings are all put away for several months of quiet rest in the closets.  Time to download & sort pictures, and savor the smiles that are tucked inside my heart. My sweet friend, [...]

  When I look over at the calendar, it’s clear that Summer is officially on the downside of it’s reign, even though the temps here don’t say that at all!   Before long, Moms will be checking out ideas for costumes for their little “treaters”, and surely the days will begin to consider moving down from the [...]

  How about a little polished stone today?!   As I was exploring options for a new project, I realized that I haven’t played with glossy paper & alcohol inks in quite a long time.  So, out came the inks, the felt applicators, and glossy paper, ready for that polished make-over.    The main image is actually [...]

Welcome everyone!  Here in the U.S.A. we’re celebrating today as “Father’s Day”.    So, “Happy Father’s Day!” to many, many of you out there!  I’ll admit that since my darlin’ Daddy and treasured Father-in-Law have gone to Heaven, I’ve paid less attention to Father’s Day.   However, I was lucky enough to be online when this week’s SCS featured stamper challenge, [...]

Yes .. my youth was spent in Oklahoma.   But I just don’t remember “heavy” snowfalls.  I do remember snowfalls of 1″ or maybe 2″ … my Daddy often called it a dusting.   Although I never had an actual sled, I did take a large side of cardboard over to a nearby ‘hill’ … (laughable when I see [...]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, yes … Fall seems to have officially arrived here in North Texas.  Days are typically wonderful, while the evenings are reaching into the ‘cooler’ zone.  I’m lovin’ the open windows, which we can savor only briefly in Spring, and hopefullya bit more often during Fall.  Alas, today we’re having rain … 100% chance, and [...]

What a busy week!  I can almost empathize with the squirrels scampering around the neighborhood collecting the falling acorns for their future stash.  It seems that whenever I get involved in any sort of ‘mass preparation’, I tend to underestimate the total prep time.  Whew!  It’s a good thing that we paper-crafters tend to love what we [...]

Welcome to Wednesday … Wacky Wednesday, that is!   It’s already been an exciting week so far here in Texas, and the fun is just beginning, in my opinion.  I’ve been prepping to visit CHA in Orlando next week, so it seems that everything is running along a little too quickly!  hee hee  I’ll be meeting [...]

Here’s the new darling of the surfers, Kona!  He makes surfing look so easy & fun!  Not that we can surf here in my area of Texas, but Kona is honoring his eclectic Paperie friends with a great big shout out from a cool & refreshing wave!   No, it was not cool or refreshing here in Texas while Daisy [...]
