Earlier this month, I made some happy mail envelopes with stickers and washi tapes and sent them to my sisters, sisters-in-law, and friend. It was a lot of fun to make and assemble. The washi sample was made using a Project Life divider tab. The stickers were cut with the Silhouette Portrait. The mini envelopes... Continue Reading →
This book was sent to me to review. I'm really excited to get started. Right now I'm reading The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton and hope to finish within the next day or so. I'll get started on The Whispers of War next and then Robinson's Dream after that. With all this time home and... Continue Reading →

I went to the Barnes & Noble Book Club meetup yesterday to go over the selected book, American Dirt. You can read my review here. It was interesting because I felt like I had to defend the Mexicans (and to think I was bullied by them growing up), not the ones in the story, but... Continue Reading →

This pretty little thing came in the mail yesterday. It's a Chic Sparrow B6 Slim Folio in the color Huckleberry. It is from the Crème line, which is a thick leather. The Huckleberry B6 Slim Folio is different from what I expected. I thought it was going to be thick but it's been pressed very... Continue Reading →
