Baby girl and I have had the cold that keeps on giving. You know, giving up lovely coughs and raspy voices (well, it's given me the raspy voice...baby girl doesn't talk yet...she just babbles). But it seems like it's on it's way out. YAY! So in the meantime, I've been of course still working on all ...
I look at trash differently these days. I wonder what I can do to reuse, recycle, upcycle and all that eco-friendly stuff. My current thing? Making flowers. Because flowers are pretty. And why not have flowers that stay in bloom 24/7? So I've been making these light ...
I have a confession to make. My discount lovin', cheapo side of me has always looked at soap and bought whatever I had a coupon for or whatever was on sale. Then Costco came along and sold a box of decent-sized bars at a decent price. Basic soap. And who needs anything more than basic soap, right? ...
You'd think that a person who makes and sells note cards (me - at Beyond The Pen) would have plenty of little note cards laying around to send out to people. Sadly, while I have thought of miniaturizing some of my cards, I haven't yet. I just haven't squeezed out enough hours in ...
Miss T is finally a little more than a bump on a log. She's grabbing onto things (like my hair - ouch!) and sticking just about everything into her cute little baby mouth. So I pulled out a rattle I was given at Miss T's baby shower way back when. It's sweet and cute. And ...
I will never look at the pages of a magazine the same again. Ever. Now that I am Etsy obsessed and try to look around at what can be repurposed or upcycled, my husband is a happy man. My complaints about the funky dust smell inside of thrift shops now has a delay button ...
We have been under attack. For a couple months now. And there is no end in sight. Miss T is drooling, drooling, drooling. And there is no stopping the spit. She blows raspberries. She gives drool-laden kisses. She can't help herself. But it's outta control. I never really ...
Wouldn't you think a grown woman would know how to avoid getting shampoo in her eyes? Isn't that something a person learns to do as a kid? And yet somehow, this morning I managed to get shampoo in my eyes. I apparently went overbad with the suds. So some got in my eyes. It hurt. Bad. And I felt pretty lame. Pitiful.
I had never heard of an ACEO until Etsy. Yes, my love - my current obsession - my Etsy. What is an ACEO, you ask? It's a work of art, and the only specific thing about it is its size. 2.5" x 3.5" to be exact. Think baseball trading card, but for art. And you've got an ...
I should have this stuff down. Like, I should KNOW this stuff. A couple years ago I was all over the social marketing thing. Not saying I did it to the extent I should have. But I knew what it was. I knew what I "should" be doing and I knew the sites that were ...
