Hi friends...I apologize in advance but this is not a crafting related post at all but something I've been needing to write about just to get my thoughts down somewhere. I'll be back tomorrow with a fun blog hop but I hope you'll excuse me today. A year ago today I lost a big piece of my heart ... View Post
Happy 1st Birthday Rogue!
With a houseful of rescued pets we tend to celebrate adoption days rather than pet birthdays...but that's primarily because we don't actually know the birthdays of our dogs or rabbit. We still don't know the exact date for Rogue but we've got a much firmer idea. We adopted her on June 20th and was ... View Post
Jessica Lynn Original: Shelties!
Last summer I was up late one night and started searching online for sheltie stamps...it led me to Jessica Lynn Original! I love her AKC dog series and was so excited to see that she was releasing a new sheltie stamp set. I have a few more cards to complete but I wanted to share this ... View Post

It's been amusing watching her integrate into our normal routine...although she's in for a bit of a shock when Steve starts the school ... View Post
600 miles in 36 hours…
This weekend was quite jam-packed; we headed to Pittsburgh Friday morning, came home Saturday morning, and then drove two hours down Skyline Drive for a wedding gig Saturday afternoon. That's the short version... Steve and I have been trying to plan a trip out to the Pittsburgh area to visit ... View Post
I’m famous!?!!?!! (no, not really…)
Well, it's almost 9:00 AM and I've officially been up for 21 hours. For those doing the math, yes, I didn't wake up until noon yesterday...blame it on our Game of Thrones marathon Monday night. Then add in Tuesday's trip to the drive-in until 1:15 AM (and we left early...Transformers 4 was NOT a ... View Post
