Chalkboard Quote on Canvas
I’m really not the kind of person who prints out quotes and slaps them on the wall normally, but this phrase really spoke to me when I saw it in the Silhouette Online Store. I decided to fashion myself a sign out of it and hang it next to the garage door where we’ll see […]
Scattering Leaves Card – Hero Arts Inspiration Challenge
It’s no secret that I love nature-themed images, so even though I already have many leaf stamps, I needed to get the new “Scattering Leaves” set from Hero Arts too.

I always have a hard time throwing out the vases I get when my husband sends me flowers…especially when they are unique shapes and sizes. I’ve moved 5 times in the past 8 years or so and this collection of vases gets packed up and moved with me every time. Sure, I occasionally pull one […]
