Did you know that we as digital scrapbookers are spoiled? Spoiled rotten, we are! It became very clear to me recently as I was continuing to work on a project in our home. We took down some paneling in our main room, and it was now time to paint. I picked out a main color [...]

I am redoing a section of our living room that was covered in 70's era paneling, ripping it all out, retexturing and painting the whole room. I am very excited to have a new fresh space in our house, which we are remodeling piece, by tiny piece. I never put up any artwork on the wood [...]

I have a friend who really enjoys giving people cards for their birthdays and other occasions. So this summer when my sister was making a card organizer, I had an idea.

Sometimes I have to laugh at how things turn out when they aren't as I intended them to be. We bought a new house last year. It was fairly run-down outside, but it had been maintained because they were trying to sell the house. So back in January of this year, I focused on the [...]

I had a great time throwing a shower for a friend of mine recently. Her wedding is coming up, and I wanted to bless her with a fun party with friends and family. One of the things that I really love to do is to make everything beautiful. I wanted the food to be pretty, [...]

It's the little things in life that bond people together. My husband and I have a long standing tradition every night to sit and have a cup of hot chocolate together after the kids go to bed. It is funny how much I really love these few moments at the end of the day. We [...]
