Well, my husband and I have had the first part of the week off, and being home with Kevin and Raya meant I didn’t get anything really crafty done since last week. (I’m not sad at all, it’s been SO nice!!)  It does mean that my share today is going to be a very simple… Continue Reading…

You know what?  This has been just a really crappy week.  Nothing like what people battling wildfires are going through or anything, but I am just going to admit right now… I am not in the mood to write a tutorial for this morning’s post.  The grand total of this week so far really just… Continue Reading…

So in my monthly cleaning-out-the-cupboards, I found that we have a lot of jello.  And when you have a lot of something, you feel pressure to find a way to use it.

Oh man, I don’t know about you mamas, but it’s been a long week already.  I honestly thought yesterday was Friday.  Yeah.  I’ve got a way to go! At my house, my baby is getting over her first time being sick, and my husband and I are trying to get ready to host Christmas (provided… Continue Reading…
