I promised myself I wasn’t going to buy anything new for Halloween this year. I wasn’t going to decorate here at the house either. I have a few plans for my grandson’s house, but not here. Nope, not gonna do it. Then I went to the Dollar Store, just to kill time while Mom was […]
Transfer Kids Painting to Totebag with #ScrapAttitude
I have a wonderful solution for transferring your kids, or grandkids, paintings to nearly anything – Scrapbooking Attitude! It’s the age-old question: what do I do with all the paintings my kids make when my refrigerator is already covered? Ok, maybe not. But if you have littles, you know how they love having their paintings […]
Make a Faux Stained Glass Window with #DecoArt
I am so excited to share this project with you! A few weeks ago I received an incredible box of assorted glass paints from DecoArt. They are scrumptious! You’ll be seeing tons of glass painting projects here soon, believe me. But when I saw Glass Stains, I knew what my first project would be – […]

Between now and then I’ll be writing some basic reference posts in the hopes that both new and regular readers can find what they’re looking for. This isn’t a ‘reference’ post per se, but it […]
Real Life Angels
They exist, you know. Angels. Real life angels. Angels, who visit you in your darkest hour and light the way. Angels, who ask for nothing in return. Angels, who don’t even know they are angels. They might pose as friends and fellow bloggers. But I know differently. I know they are angels. Real life angels. […]
Dear Santino …
When my husband died on May 14 the person I worried about the most (besides myself) was our grandson, Santino. How in the world could I explain this loss to a 4 year old when I didn’t understand it myself? I couldn’t explain it. I still can’t. His mother first told Santino when his “Poppy” […]
