The downside to federal holidays is the Tuesday after. They always feel like a Monday and Tuesday crammed into one little day. Other than a few frustrating moments, work has been good lately. I’ve been working with a slew of new features in our content management system that are set to go live this week. [...]
I may not get to play along with Glenda’s Random Amusing Challenges very often, but they’re a lot of fun when I do. Because my son is still small, I probably wouldn’t have thought to put together a school themed card at this time of year, but Glenda’s challenge put the idea in my head. [...]
Most of my cards have several simple layers, but Susan’s One Layer Wednesday challenges force me to simplify even more. I have to admit that I love the results. This week’s challenge was cards with trees. I love a good tree stamp, so this is right up my alley. I had to use my stamp-a-ma-jig [...]
After what feels like a few weeks of struggle, the cards are coming easily again. I love being in a creative groove. I’ve made more than a dozen cards in the last week and I’m pretty pleased with all of them. I used a Clean & Simple Stamping sketch (FTL106) as the inspiration for this [...]

Looks like there are a couple teams working on Goodreads apps for Android phones. I think the integrated barcode scanning would be a great way to get instant reviews when browsing bookstores. I’m looking forward to trying a stable release. I’m in the middle of a busy few weeks at work. With new features comes [...]
made no progress on @PaperCraftsMag submissions this weekend, but plenty of headway on A Reliable Wife, the latest book club selection. # is getting clobbered by our multimedia files. # a windy 60 degrees has me eyeing the fleece peacoats at Lands' End. # finally placed my first order with Papertrey Ink. Can't wait to [...]
So, there was no Ten on Tuesday last week. I felt bad that I didn’t have photos to share, but I’m doing my best this week, even without photos. I really admire the people who carve out time to maintain a great blog. It’s a lot more work than most people think, even after all [...]
I must be a mom: my purse contains more coupons and Happy Meal toys than makeup and cash. # worth making again: whole wheat white pizza with garlic, rosemary, mushrooms, chicken, fresh mozzarella, and provalone # enjoying a giant edible arrangement with my coworkers, courtesy of my husband of five years. # My hometown made [...]
