If you’ve been through my blog much at all you’ll know I love all things crafty.  I’m not artistic, but I love to craft!  I’ve probably dabbled in a bit of ...

My kiddos love fuse beads (the kind you iron) but they always need me to do the ironing part. Wouldn’t it be great if there were some fuse beads that didn’t need to be ironed? Well there ...

Do your little artists love to use markers but forget to put the caps back on? The fun folks at The Pencil Grip, Inc. have come up with a solution: markers that don’t dry out even if the cap is ...

Bullet journalling has been a great thing for me. When I first started last month I wondered if I would keep it up and so far I have. I really enjoy using the habit tracker to hold me accountable for ...

Confession of the day: I am obsessed with office supplies. Paper, notebooks, planners, sticky notes, pens, markers, pencils, etc. I could tell you about what I have, how I use them, and what I plan ...

My dad, bless his heart, is always cold. In his defense we do it keep it pretty chilly in the house during the winter, around 67 or so. He lives with us, by the way. We built him his own small ...

Halloween and Fall Festivals are just one of the fun things about Fall. Although it is still in the 80s here in Georgia, I’m still getting excited for Trick-or-Treating as are my kids! ...

When you love school and office supplies like I do, you’ve tried a lot of pencils. I figured these wouldn’t be much different than all the other mechanical pencils I have, but I was ...

I recently discovered the beautiful and creative world of brush lettering. I know, I know I’m behind on these things. I watched my first tutorial and was hooked! I immediately went in search of ...

If you are like me and prefer a reusable calendar to paper calendars (I always forget to change the month) then you would enjoy this Detier Dry Erase Calendar Magnet. Here are some of the fun ...

Do back-to-school the right way with this awesome 100 piece marker set from U.S. Art Supply. Super Markers are twin-tipped, so one side is a medium point while the other end is a chisel tip. With ...

I’ve always been a kid at heart when it comes to coloring. Until recently, with the new trend of coloring books for adults I settled for coloring along with my kids. No matter what you like to ...

Have you tried the newest “thing”? I’m talking about coloring books for Mom’s (or any adult who loves to color). While I’ve always loved coloring along side my kids ...

Warm & Natural is my favorite quilt batting. It is soft and easy to work with. Out of the package it is usually wrinkled and creased from being folded, but it smoothes out easily without ...

I wasn’t sure what to expect when Blami Arts sent me these markers to review. I’ve used paint markers before, but not the chalk kind. I’ve seen those adorable chalk signs around ...

Truth: I sent out my novel.  Now to wait patiently as three friends read it, make notes and get back to me…. Do I even have patience?  I’m thinking not. I promised myself not to open or ...

Small house = sewing machine and all notions must be put away out of sight until people aren’t in and out for parties and dinners.  So over the holidays I focused on my writing and took some ...

I was chatting Christmas projects with my mom-in-law this past week. I was telling her my plan for some little gifts I plan to make. She mentioned a pattern she’d sewn back in the day that was ...

Lu Lu has seen me working on her big brother’s quilts for ages now. I had planned on waiting to make her a quilt until she was a little older, in her own room maybe (and not sharing with her 3 ...

Poor Booger… Nearly two years ago I started the first in my quest to make all 3 of my boys matching (nearly) quilts. Lemur liked the first backing I chose and Booger didn’t so he would ...

Just FYI I’m hopping back in time (to 2013-14) to tell you about the first larger quilt I made (larger than a lap size). I decided to undertake making a quilt for each of my kiddos. At the time ...

I am an author. I am an author. I am an author. Yes I have to repeat that to myself quite often, because if I’m not diligent self-doubt sneaks in and tells me “You’re just a writer. ...

2 of 5 stars These pencils are great: 1) Ergo dynamically perfect for little fingers 2) Thicker lead rarely breaks BUT there are two BIG problems with the leads: 1) The leads are only ...
