This one was only 2. She turned another year older this month too.
Impasto
I'm taking an online class at Studio Calico called Color Theory by Wilna Furstenberg. It's a crafty paint type of class and it's strictly fun but I'm learning a lot more than I had imagined. The first week covered impasto. I didn't have pink acrylic paint (is there such a thing as pink acrylic paint?)... Continue Reading →
A Decade Ago…
My first daughter turned 3 a decade ago today. I enjoyed and miss those very young years. They went by too quickly. I was working full-time when she was a toddler so I really didn't get to spend as much time as I had wanted with her. I'm very grateful to have that opportunity now... Continue Reading →
February 2015 Random Photos

The intricate die cut was created by Wilna as a freebie. ... Continue Reading →

Project Life 2015 Week 3
Completely done with week 3! I am a month behind but I will be catching up.
EOS
She loves her EOS lipbalms. She doesn't wear them...just likes the way they look and smell. Thought about removing the little hairs in her face but decided not to. It makes her who she is.
Making Cards and Mailings
Made a few Valentine cards to send to friends + other mailings, and a package for a swap. I'm really loving the Silhouette Portrait I received in a giveaway a year and a half ago. I'm surprised I've never really used it much for making cards. Actually, I haven't used it as much as I'd... Continue Reading →
