I can’t believe this year is already over. This decade, actually. My oh my, how things have changed. At this time ten years ago, I was sitting at work (3rd shift) with a one year old and an almost four year old at home with my mom. My life was a crazy mess, and my [...]

paper stars and winners, yay!
Happy Christmas Eve! Isn’t it exciting??? It’s almost time! aaaahhhhh… I LOVE Christmas!! Today I made tiny paper stars. …and put them in a candy dish. I realized while making them, that the stiffer/thicker paper did not work as well as the thinner paper. It made it very difficult to crease them and fluff them [...]

- Day 3 – Instead of creating something with my hands today, I decided to create some family memories with the kids. We had a fun night of fort building, charade playing, dining in the fine establishment known as The Reiss House (where you need reservations and Alycia is your waitress) and now we are [...]

- Day 6 – With all the crafting going on around here, things that should be getting done are being ignored, like cleaning. Let’s be honest… I could always ignore cleaning. It’s definitely not one of my favorite things to do. However, being this close to Christmas… I would like everything nice and tidy. Since [...]

- Day 7 – Being shut in because of a snow storm is one of the best reasons to have a coloring day! We laid this brown paper across our dining table, cranked up some Laurie Berkner and scribbled away! After we were finished, I decided to use this beautiful piece of art to make [...]

go down in history!
- Day 9 – I know most kids tear wrapping paper to shreds without even glimpsing at it in an attempt to get to what it’s concealing… but, it’s still important to me. The wrapping on a present can say just as much as the present itself, especially to people who truly appreciate the artistry [...]
