New Blog for personal stuff

January 26, 2016

Hi everyone! I made a few simple changes to my website recently. Most obvious is creating a personal blog and moving personal posts to this blog. My site has a couple of different audiences. While I know BOTH audiences are totally interested in my personal posts I thought separating the two made sense as I try to grow my craft blog. I have been hesitant to post too much crafty and too much personal and now I don't have to be so selective. Now I may even post what I ate for lunch. Kidding - I'll try to keep it real. So far I have moved personal posts from Sept 2014 forward. I will likely continue to move posts in the coming weeks.

As always, thanks for stopping by, reading, commenting and keeping up with us on our life's adventures. Hugs.

Folding socks. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! psych.

Just for funsies ... I went a little Pencil CRAZY on this 'love you' card. I stamped and colored each pencil 20 times!!! I find the process of stamping is so rewarding, starting from blank paper and creating THIS! Simple yet not. See out how this car

Hello friends, you sure are sweet! This watermelon card follows the #gdp430 sketch challenge (swipe to see sketch). I stamped the watermelon and used a blending brush to smooth out the ink for a better impression. You can see how I achieved this look
