Haste

Nothing can be done at once hastily and prudently. Publilius Syrus (~100 BC)

Ten on Tuesday

I completed a few scrapbook pages for the first time in more than a year. Even if the layouts were designed or created years ago, putting them all together felt really good. The A Muse Lounge Pajama Party was just what I needed to get back in the creative groove. I forgot how liberating it [...]

Clearly

What rock have I been living under? Stampin’ Up! is offering cling-mounted rubber stamps? It’s about time. All the functionality and superior performance of rubber with the convenience unmounted stamps? Count me in. They’re so going back on my wish list again.

It feels liberating to delete dozens of sales and marketing emails from my inbox sight unseen. I used to look at quite a few, just to see if I was missing out on a great deal. I mean, who wouldn’t want to know about a great deal? I hesitated over the subject lines from a [...]

One Little Word: Prudence

Ten on Tuesday

I want to make homemade pizza every week. Putting cornmeal on the baking sheet has helped us achieve the kind of crispy crust that makes leftovers hard to come by. Now just need to find a good sauce. Tom is seriously cruising these days. Not just moving a little bit, but hustling from one end [...]
