What Noah is thankful for…

Noah brought home an art project from his 2nd grade class. It is a wreath of paper fall leaves, and in the middle (on a paper plate), it says “I am thankful” and then many of the leaves list things that Noah is thankful for. His wreath lists: *for my school *for my house *for [...]

If you’re a scrapbooker who loves ribbon…

I totally have the product for you! Well…I don’t actually have it yet, per se, but I have ordered it finally. It’s been out of stock everywhere that seems to carry it, and I just got notification last night that they were back in stock, so I snatched one up as fast as I could! [...]

My Dad just sent me this YouTube video about Christmas

Okay, so the song isn’t going to win a Grammy or anything, but I enjoyed it and thought I would share it. (I especially like a line that deals with there being a lot of holidays in February.)

A Christmas gift that was definitely a hit! (for little girls)

Which was worse — an MRI, an itch you can’t scratch, or country music?

This afternoon, I had an MRI on my knee. The tech asked me several times, “What did you do to injure your knee.” Nothing really, I kept telling her. It just gradually started hurting more and more. Apparently this is not a good answer. Or, perhaps she thought she would finally make me break down [...]

Michael’s – 25% off entire purchase

I normally do all of my scrapbook shopping at Lifetime Moments (online), but there are plenty of other crafty things that I like to pick up at Michael’s. If you like to shop there from time to time too, you might want to check out the newest issue of Family Fun Magazine. On page 36, [...]
