I participated in my very first craft fair on Saturday, November 18. I was very nervous but excited as well. I participated with a friend who was selling earrings and having a friend there was a great help. Another friend came to help with our table and that added support helped quite a bit. The…

Belmont Craft Fair-Preparing for my 1st Fair Experience
For the first time in my creative life, I am participating in a local holiday craft fair. I have made cards for years now as a hobby. I make cards for all my family and friends for birthdays and other occasions. Over the years, many have told me that I should sell my cards.…

La Nebbia Winery
I had the pleasure of spending this recent Saturday morning hanging out with a couple of friends at the La Nebbia winery in Half Moon Bay. We were there to take part in their most recent wine bottling event. These events are hosted several times throughout the years-6 events for red wine and 3…
Memory Keeping
Zombie Planner Crop with Carpe Diem
I haven’t always considered myself a creative person but over the past 15 years I have tapped into my creative energy in several different ways. I enjoy taking pictures, making cards, scrapbooking, creating home decor projects, doing project life and paper planning. Like many, I’m still finding my groove with my style and system, but…

Book Club Babes

DE-CLUTTERING PROJECT-THE KITCHEN
I have been on a mission to declutter different areas of my home for many years now. I always started with good intentions but things would revert back to messy and cluttered at some point. Partly, it was because I never stopped bringing new stuff in, never got rid of enough, or had so…

HALLWAY REFRESH
I’ve decided that the first task from my master list that I will take on is refreshing my hallway. I figure it’s not so large of a project that it will overwhelm me and it feels doable. As long as I break it up into smaller steps, I should not (hopefully) get too overwhelmed. Because…

PROJECT LIFE-MY MEMORY KEEPING PROCESS AND PLAN
Today I’d like to share the start of my 2017 Project Life album. I’ve been doing project life which was created by Becky Higgins since 2010 & I love it. For the uninitiated, project life is a pocket style of scrapbooking that is done either digitally or using physical product. It is basically a…

Home Projects and Goals
One of the reasons for my starting a blog is the hope that it will help keep me motivated and accountable. I have made goals for my home for the past several years-and many of them remain undone. In all fairness, some of the projects are really big and will take a really long time…
