I purchased this camera on Amazon for $280. The original price was $600. The sale is still going on so if you have extra cash hanging around and want a small camera that can do big things, grab it before it's gone. I'm not being paid for talking about this camera. I'm just excited. It's... Continue Reading →
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 →
My mother gave me a handful of scallions from her garden and I decided to make scallion pepper sauce with it. These were so pretty I just wanted to look at them all day, however, I didn't want them to go bad so I had to do something quick with them. I also couldn't think... Continue Reading →

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 →
These are from the Starquest competition in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They were taken by a professional photographer.
Happy LEAP DAY! Yesterday, I got a tooth pulled and a cavity filled. I was told to take it slow so that's what I've been doing. Last Friday, the family drove to Albuquerque, NM for daughter's dance competition. It was about a seven hour drive. We arrived around 11:30pm and all went straight to bed.... Continue Reading →
I won The Whispers of War by Julia Kelly on Goodreads. I read Kelly's other book, The Light Over London a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Her writing style is superb and really puts you into the story. She also has fabulous covers. They depict the era so perfectly. I can't wait... Continue Reading →
