Another Christmas Idea…

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!So as much as I love scrapbooking, I just really don’t have time to do it. I’ve discovered that I can only do one or two things at a time - I can either blog or exercise or scrapbook or […]

Spotlight: The Little Stamp Company

If your child is getting ready to learn to write, you should definitely check out The Little Stamp Company. They make personalized name stamps with water based washable ink that will help your child learn to write his or her name by tracing. You can completely personalize your child’s stamp with their name, your choice […]

Favorite Games for Christmas

Christmas is coming up quick, and I don’t know about you, but I have no idea what I’m going to get my husband and son. Especially my son. I would never have thought that buying a few Christmas gifts for an 18 month old would be that hard, but… I just don’t know!
One thing I […]

Spotlight: Canon Digital Rebel XSi

I am feeling very sheepish. Sometimes I post things ahead, and last week I wrote this to remind me of what I wanted to focus on in the spotlight of my new Canon camera: “had for 2 months and only charged battery once.” That was not a completed post, I just forgot to finish it […]

Spotlight - CRICUT!

I’m really getting into making cards lately. I even considered totally giving up scrapbooking and sticking with card making. Do you know why? Because a card is a one time, finite project. Finite is pretty appealing to me right now with all the scrapbooking I’m not doing. With cardmaking, you can never feel behind!
And remember […]

Spotlight. But First…

The Oh Sweet Sadie Gift show is happening again this weekend. This is one of my favorite shows around. I love walking through a very large and beautiful home looking at all the vendor’s cute and crafty stuff. Fortunately for me, Oh Sweet Sadie is happening this coming weekend, next weekend, and […]

Only As Good As My Canon

Almost 10 years ago I bought my first SLR camera. That was a Canon, and I’m still a loyal Canon customer today. My current camera of choice is the Canon Digital Rebel XSi, and I don’t know how I ever blogged, scrapbooked, or lived, frankly, without it. I use it every […]

Craft Organization

Since I have so many scrappers visiting to enter the giveaways (scroll down to see the two going on right now), I wanted to tell you about my favorite craft organization source, The Original Scrapbox. You’ll never need to buy another storage container again. Pictured is their Mini Box, which is my favorite […]

Baptism Gifts

I’ve written about Personality Plus Boutique before, but I don’t think I ever mentioned her baptism gifts. She makes personalized baptism towels, blankets, gift bags, etc, so if you have a child or grandchild getting baptized soon, these are great gift ideas that will help your child remember this special day.
She also makes personalized […]

Making Memories

Every time I go to Roberts, I’m amazed at all the cute scrapbooking stuff by Making Memories. I am really a sucker for craft supplies - as my sister-in-law says, I’m constantly in the business of collecting even though I don’t have a lot of time to actually scrapbook. But I am pushing […]

Product Review: Fall Down Tree

If you were around for my giveaway last month, you’ll remember Fall Down Tree.  I absolutely LOVE Adam Record’s original art prints.  I can’t describe his style, you’ll just have to see for yourself.  I got my hands on this adorable set called “To The Moon.”
When I have a girl baby I’m going to go […]

Scrapbooking Help

I started scrapbooking when I was in high school. My grandma got into it and so I would go over to her house across the street after school and scrapbook with her. I started out loving scrapbooking because it was something my grandma and I did together. I still love it, but […]

Product Review: Simply Polished

One of my favorite organizational items is a magnet board by Simply Polished.  It is high quality, functional, and beautiful - what more could a girl ask for?
Heather, craftsman behind Simply Polished, has a collection of functional and beautiful organization and home decor stuff.  She has wood and metal storage containers that are all sooo […]

Product Reviews: Fingers & Toes

I know lots of people having babies in the next little while, and one of my favorite places to look for handmade baby gifts is Fingers & Toes Modern Baby Designs. She has normal baby things like onesies, burp cloths, blankets, toys, bibs, and bedding, but she embellishes some and hand makes the rest. […]

Product Reviews: Nycole’s Scrapbooks & Hiccup Inc.

If you remember from my giveaway at the beginning of the month, Hiccup Inc. and Nycole’s scrapbooks provided two of the prizes. I love doing giveaways because I find stuff I really love and share it with all of you! I just wanted to remind you all about their fabulous stuff.

Nycole’s Scrapbooks is […]

Product Review: Personality Plus Boutique

A few months ago I ran into some blogs that talked about monogramming kids clothing, and I fell in love. I wanted to applique and monogram some things for my son, but just couldn’t find the time. It’s been in the back of my mind for a while, so when I saw Personality […]

Product Review: Kaboost

I gave away a Kaboost last week, and I wanted to tell you how I really feel about the product.

First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun opening a box in my life. The box it comes isn’t square, it’s shaped just like the folded up Kaboost. The top […]

Summer Stuff

We have been out in the sun a lot in the last few weeks, swimming and playing in the park, etc, and I got a Huggies Summer Essentials Kit to help protect Joel’s sensitive skin and make our time outdoors more enjoyable.

Joel has fair skin so we go through sunscreen like nothing! I have […]

Review: Kraft Bagel-fuls

I tried out a new product by Kraft earlier this week called Bagel-fuls and they were really very good.  Bagels are one of my favorite breakfast foods, and I love cream cheese as a topping.
I liked the bagel-fuls because they made a super quick breakfast - the cream cheese is inside the bagel bread, so […]
