I have always loved the color blue. I also naturally gravitate towards monochromatic color schemes. Therefore, I was thrilled to learn that this week’s challenge at The Play Date Cafe offers the opportunity to combine both faves into a project of choice! The Play Date Cafe’s Challenge of the Week (PDCC12) is to interpret the icy […]
Winter Wonderland ATC
This week, Lots To Do issued their first challenge of the year – create anything you want with a Winter Wonderland theme – so I created this beautiful ATC! My goal in Winter Wonderland was to convey the serenity and beauty of a snowy winter’s night. The centerpiece of this ATC is the snow-covered tree! I love […]
WOYWW 2 – Cat Chat – Frugal Finds
This is my second What’s On Your Work Desk Wednesday Challenge post and I am still feeling a tad shy about baring my mess for the blogosphere to see, but today, I’ll dip another toe into the water and give you a larger look at my clutter! I am blessed with a large workspace – or […]
Let It Snow
One of my personal themes for the year is to “use it or lose it”. Instead of saving supplies for a rainy day, I’m trying to use as many items in my stash as I can, and pass along things I don’t need. This should reduce mental and physical clutter as I work towards two other goals: organizing my supplies and giving […]

Vintage Christmas Card (GC 35)
When I think of Purple, Gold, and Green – the colors in this week’s Gingersnap Creations #35 Color Challenge – I think of elegance, regalness, and the holidays – so I dug out some of the most scrumptious supplies I could find, and designed my first Christmas card of the year! I wanted to create a […]

Heartfelt (GC34)
Now that 2010 is here, I’ve been thinking about what I want to accomplish this year. I’m trying to take a more balanced approach to goal-setting than I have in years past. I want to set great goals yet remain flexible with them. I want to examine my goals closely and not make easily broken resolutions. I […]
