I made a quick little card for my niece on her First Communion Day. I found a vintage French prayer card online that I was able to copy and print. Then I simply cut it out and glued it to my card. I added some flowers that I made from the satin ribbon that was … Continue reading
When I bought my standard poodle “Michelle” my husband and I were both working, we had savings, and our house was worth more than we owed on it. The grooming costs associated with a poodle really weren’t a concern. Little did we know at the time how much our lives were about to change! I … Continue reading

It may have been because I was worrying because my daughter is having problems with … Continue reading
Look what I found! Yes, I have been garbage picking again but what a treasure! I spotted this pile of ladder pieces at the curb and I couldn’t resist. I didn’t take the whole pile (that would be greedy) just the pieces that I thought I could use! My husband was just thrilled with my … Continue reading

I found a great way to transfer an image using a blender pen and I couldn’t wait to try it with a photo of my kids. I transferred a photo to a canvas which worked pretty well, but then I got carried away and spent the entire evening “embellishing” it. I need to learn … Continue reading
