Yesterday I made shower parting gifts for my friend’s shower. I had bought white ink a couple of months ago and I’ve really wanted to use it, but hadn’t yet. I thought this would be a good opportunity to try out white ink on black paper. The supplies: I traced the tag size I wanted, [...]
My class ends tomorrow. We’re doing our final as a group, so everyone has been doing lots of research to answer the questions asked of us so that we get the most complete answers possible. I should be back to a better posting schedule soon. :) I hope you are having a good week.
My friend had a party for her little girl, Charlotte, and the theme was Olivia. I helped my friend get the parting gifts decorated with Olivia wrappers. My friend bought all of the wrappers on the internet and they were personalized with her daughter’s name and birthday. There were waterproof water bottle wrappers, large and [...]
We haven’t had a vegetable garden before this year. You can imagine our surprise at how large the tomato plants have grown. This plant seems to be taking over the entire garden box. It’s about four feet tall. We haven’t gotten many veggies out of the garden, but I’m ready for the bounty! My final [...]
My friend is having a baby boy this fall and my playgroup is throwing her a diaper shower. I wanted to do something fun, but different, for her invitation. I’ve seen dressed up candy all over blogland and so I bought some big, flat lollipops to use as the base for my invitation. [...]
Not that I had a bad week, but I am bushed! My class is coming to an end. The final is due Thursday. Miss Petrie has been quite a handful lately with her constant theatrics and dramatics. (You moms of toddlers know what I mean!) We’ve done yard work, attended a party, had three playdates [...]
We visited my friend Robin in Santa Fe this week. She and her husband have been working on their house for years and their latest endeavor is a walled-in garden. Robin collected wildflower seeds last fall and planted them. Aren’t these flowers amazing? A cross made with dried cactus that they found. [...]
Have a great time checking out the posts at Bloggeritaville’s Thrifty Thursday. My little Miss Petrie had a big growth spurt in the past few weeks. She jumped 1 1/2 shoe sizes and is squarely in a size 3T now. She’s set to start preschool next month and I’ve been picking up clothes to get her [...]
Here in the Albuquerque area, we have this great local restaurant chain called Flying Star. They serve all kinds of food and incredible desserts. I actually would have taken a picture of my strawberries and cream cake, but I scarfed it down before I thought to photograph it. I took a picture of my friend [...]
I read a post (can’t remember where) and they said that white bedding always looked current, clean, and cheerful. I have dark brown bedding in our bedroom and I’m thinking about brightening it up with a white comforter, blanket or duvet. You know, whatever is the prettiest for the best price! [...]
