It’s been a grueling day, a grueling week–really. I shouldn’t complain, because a good part of it was self-inflicted–like the part where I decided to sew matching Christmas dresses for my girls and have them ready for our family’s performance at our church Christmas concert tonight. Remember…I don’t sew! I am planning a blogging marathon…
I have one. My husband has one. We have sisters, brothers, grandmas, nieces, nephews, uncles, friends and neighbors all with December birthdays. And the closer they are to Christmas, the harder it becomes to make the birthday special, or to shift gears from holiday prep to give birthday the attention it deserves. Two of my…
I just started a page about My Insanity on Facebook. All of you Facebookers (is that the term?) go over there and become a fan, so I don’t have to be my only (ok, one of my only) fans. (Thanks Rebekah!) I figure that will be a great place to share ideas and ask questions….
Oops! Somehow I pressed publish before I even wrote this post. I’d better hurry and finish it before people think I’ve lost it…Oh, nevermind. They already know I have! One of my friends has a daughter that is turning 4 in a couple of weeks, and though I know all too well the challenge a…
So I know that election is over, but there is another important election going on right now at Tip Junkie. Remember how I posted all of my Christmas Card ideas here, and my sisters’ clever card idea here. Well I submitted them all to Tip Junkie and guess what? Trina’s card is a finalist! (I’m…
Please tell me I’m not the only one out there that always overestimates what I can do, and underestimates the time it will take me to do it! I have been wanting, for a while now, to give you all an early Christmas present of sorts. I am working on graphics to put inside each…
Is this not so cool? This is the picture Design Mom did with her children for their Christmas card last year. Read her post to see how they did it. I kept looking for harnesses around the angel, until I realized how they had staged this. I’m thinking not next year (I already have a…
I’m planning to participate in the Christmas Tour of Homes next week, so I hope this doesn‘ t spoil it, but I wanted to get in on Thrifty Decor Chick’s Favorite Things party with something a little festive. I made this slide show last year to show my Christmas decorations. It was a frustrating year,…
I am so excited about my new advertisers. First Sweet Mady’s and now Whitney Caroline Designs–another super cute shop! She has some great gifts for the holidays. I am really drooling over her custom stamps. But I might have a hard time choosing my favorite design. Check out both of these stores when you get…
This is a picture of my good friend Kameron and I on a fantastic trip to Europe a couple of years ago. We traveled with our choir, and Kameron worked for the company that arranged the trip, so she did a lot of the planning for this trip, and many others (and went on the…
