By On February 6, 2012 · 1 Comment

It’s another year of handmade Valentine’s Day cards. I’m still trying to keep things simple and fun for my daughter. We have less to make this year (only 22!), which is good because it was a struggle to get through all of the (34!) pencil cards last year.

I’ve been volunteering in my daughter’s school library for over 4 months now. My job is to help the kids pick out books. Not to choose topics, but to help them locate different subjects and authors and to use a shelf marker when browsing so books stay in order.

I love this sweater. I found it at the thrift store during a 99 cent sale last year. The colors are so pretty: light gray blending into warm oatmeal. It’s a soft wool acrylic blend that doesn’t need to be hand washed.

Wow. I first posted about these muffins over three years ago. They have really stood the test of time. If my daughter had her way, we’d make a batch every week. With a seal of approval like that, I figured they would make good “in-a-jar” gifts.

Originally, I had planned to [...]

Last night I slept in my own bed and it was wonderful. I’ve been all over the MD/DC/VA area the past week visiting family and friends. No matter how much fun I have while away, it’s always nice to come home.

I saw this rainbow at the Cincinnati airport and snapped a [...]

Well, hello! I didn’t intend for this space to get so quiet. December kind of wore me out. I’ve been spending a lot of time behind the camera lens. What has everyone else been up to? Happy 2012!
