In addition to writing this blog, I love to craft! Crafting is a somewhat new hobby for me in that I picked it up much later in life. As a child, I was not really what you’d call CREATIVE. I liked to read, play sports, watch tv and listen to music. Sometime in my 40’s…

Update-The Hallway is Painted
I can’t believe how long this has taken but………the hallway and trim are all painted!! The hallway started out a light lemony yellow color and is now a steel-gray. It pains me that this process has taken so long and it’s not even over yet! I still have to return the wall decor and clean…

Favorites Currently Making Me Happy
I enjoy seeing these types of “favorites” posts so I thought that maybe I’d do one as well. And if no one cares except for me, then at least I have a documented record of what I was enjoying at this particular time! 1. The Alienist-this TNT show is based on a book of the…

Sometimes the Underdogs Win-SuperBowl 2018
Sunday, February 4, 2018 was the 52nd Super Bowl. As an avid sports fan, I always enjoy watching this championship game even if my team (San Francisco 49ers) isn’t in it! Today’s game was between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. The Patriots were the overwhelming favorites and the Eagles were the undisputed…

Hallway Refresh-Lessons Learned
I have finally finished painting my hallway. As I type this, my back is a little sore from all the bending over! While I’m not completely done yet, painting the walls was one of the largest tasks that needed doing. One of the things I like about doing home DIY’s is what I learn. Now,…

Project Life Plans and Tools-Memory Keeping
I have enjoyed memory keeping for the past several years and have completed a project life album every year since 2010. I have always done a traditional 12×12 binder in the traditional setting with 4×6 photos and 3×4 journaling cards. I really love doing the album and I love going back to look at the…

Hallway Refresh Update-No Painter’s Tape Needed
I have been working on updating my hallway since November 2017. The BIG change of course is paint. After much contemplation, research, and samples on the wall, I chose Stonington Grey by Behr. Frames and wall decor came down, holes were spackled and filled and then………CRICKETS. Why you ask? Because the next step was to…
