UPDATE: Thanks to some generous and wonderful human beings, both of our sets of cookies have sold! Yea!!! I will share recipes and photos when they ship (Barry probably won’t though–he’s kind of selfish that way). BUT there are still lots of other yummy-sounding cookies availiable, since Landra is extending the sale! But hurry…cause when…

For weeks now, I have been following the story of Stephanie Nielson (Nie Nie) and her husband Christian, who were in a private plane crash and are now trying to recover from very critical burns. I’ve checked in daily with Nie’s, sister Courtney, on her blog, cjanerun–at first, for updates on the victims, and then…
Laurie, over at Tip Junkie, is inviting us to share a tour of some of our favorite things in our homes, for her “Talk To Me Tuesday” Feature. I’m going to cheat a little since we recently moved, and really haven’t started decorating our new house. I’m going to show pictures of decor from our…

For a change, here is a party I just got to attend, and didn’t have to lift one crazy finger for. This party was a surprise for my friend, Kim’s birthday. Her husband gets BIG kudos for coming up with this and for providing us with a LIMOUSINE for the night (my first ride ever!),…
When the weather is still in the triple digits (here in Hades…I mean, Arizona), it is sometimes hard to realize how soon certain holidays will be upon us. But all of us crazy/crafty people need time to plan a good shindig, so it really is time to think about Halloween (while we lounge by the…
I was excited enough about the invitations I made for my son’s rocket/space themed birthday, that I thought that they deserved their own post. I will be posting about the rest of the party, soon. I designed these digitally on my computer using elements from some of my favorite digital scrapbooking kits (credits below). They…

So far I have fallen in love with the details of this fairy party, shared by the Domestic Diva.Hmmm. Maybe I’ll wait a…
