7 Quick Takes: January 29, 2010 (Vol. 28)

~ 1 ~ I have been totally digging being able to read all of the results that have been coming in from the Many Little Blessings Reader Survey.  If you are a reader, you can still take the survey (and get entered into a drawing).  I promise to share some of the results later.  Fun [...]

Strategies For Getting Caught Up On Email for the Easily Distracted

Did that title catch your eye?  It probably means that you are a lot like me.  I have the best of intentions to get caught up on email, but then one email makes me say, “Oh yeah — I meant to check that on Facebook.”  Or, maybe an email mentions an idea that I want [...]

Help Me To Learn About You (aka Fill Out a Survey and Get a Chance at a Prize)

I have been wanting to work on a reader survey for ages now.  And, today, I finally decided to buckle down and write one.  I have gotten to know so many of my readers (and of course, some of my readers I knew before I was blogging), but I also know there are a lot [...]

Many Little Links: January 24, 2010

Wow – it seems like so long since I have written about some of the links that I’ve enjoyed around the blogosphere.  Trust me — I’m still working on keeping up with all of my favorite blogs, and trying to find new ones too!  Here is some of what I have been enjoying lately: Beauty [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 23, 2010 (Vol. 27)

~ 1 ~ It is, of course, after Friday, which is when Jen from Conversion Diary posts 7 Quick Takes.  I, however, was sad that I hadn’t posted a weekly wrap up in a few weeks.  So, I’m just doing it late. ~ 2 ~ Last night was the last Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.  [...]

I Would Be Remiss If I Didn’t Talk About Conan This Week

Many years ago (maybe around eight years ago), I used to post on a scrapbooking message board before moving on to LifetimeMoments.com (which has also closed now).  One day, after a big discussion of the infamous lists that were discussed on Friends, the moderators decided to hold a contest for anyone who was willing to [...]

Real Life Confessions: The Lack of Focus Edition

People online say it, and so do people I know in person, “Angie — you do so much.  You have it all together.  How do you do it all?” I don’t. That is — I don’t have it all together and I don’t do it all.  As a matter of fact, I’m feeling a bit [...]

Yet Another Mollyism

Last week I shared about Molly’s unique way of saying a lot or a little, so I had to share one of the most recent gems around the house. Molly was explaining to her brothers how she had gotten out of bed very quietly to sneak into our bed during the night.  We heard her [...]

In Defense of Taking Snow Days

Three of my favorite words when I was a preteen up through my high school years were “blowing and drifting.” My husband and I still joke that those are magical words. What would be so special about these words? It’s not so much these words by themselves as what those words mean together with words [...]

Using Only Craft Supplies That You Already Own

As a scrapbooker (or any kind of crafter), it’s easy to feel like you always need to buy more supplies.  This becomes especially true when you are working on a specific project.  I, however, have been working on buying less supplies (a whole lot less!) and using what I already have in my craft room.
