 Happy Monday friends! The sun is shining and it’s time to take a deep breath and jump into the fresh new week! I’ve been wanting to make a sign just for me for a while now and just haven’t had the time to put into it. And I had a hard time deciding what scripture or […]

I had a full day planned today, but instead I’m home taking care of a sick little girl. So I thought I’d take the time to snap some pictures of our office/playroom and give you a little tour of this much-used space. The space used to be a porch that was enclosed and turned into […]

I recently created this “Love” sign for my photographer friend Shar Halverson in exchange for some amazing family pictures she took of us last fall. I used an old salvaged door that hubs found in a barn (he’s quite good at finding unique things for me to play around with!). The door had some gorgeous Victorian-style […]

So, I haven’t been around here much lately. I’ve been feeling, well, just kinda BLANK with not a lot to say. What have I been up to? I’ve been doing a lot of painting (as always). And I’m attempting to get Jack potty-trained. HA. On the first day I caught him standing on top of the […]

Yes, dear, that does look exactly like a pig. A pig […]

I think one of the benefits of getting older is that I want my space at home to be more functional and more efficient than ever. I don’t want to waste time and space on things that I don’t love or need. I’ve talked about it before, but I really don’t enjoy baking. Don’t get me […]

A little one-sided chat from me today. :: What am I doing today?  Scrubbing my house. This is the thing that gets put on the back burner when I’m busy. And I’m a bit of a clean-freak, so it drives me nuts. There’s nothing like a clean house. Too bad it doesn’t last very long these […]

I created this “Life Is Sweet” sign for a friend to hang in her kitchen. She wanted a sign and said that I could come up with whatever I wanted ~ my favorite kind of customer! I knew this sign would fit her perfectly. Here I took some pictures of it hanging in my family […]
