I totally missed iNSD (international scrapbooking day) last weekend. I was able to download one freebie collaboration but that was it! The kit I used for the layout below wasn't free but I always purchase kits on sale. The weather has gotten so much nicer and I'm really excited about doing a ton of outdoor... Continue Reading →
The magenta orchid in the master bath has bloomed.
Last year the magnolia didn't bloom because of the late snow. She budded but was too weak to bloom. This year, she fought the snow.

She nearly screamed my ears off when she learned that Sephora was selling... Continue Reading →
