Especially with Sir Paul McCartney playing twice during the show and Adele sweeping the awards. Totally worth being a little exhausted this morning. Freezer paper stencils are now my "go-to" way to personalize a gift for the little ones in my life. One of our little loves turned a year old this weekend so I wanted to make her a … [Read more...]

February 11, 2012 8 Comments

I love lists. I love writing them, crossing them out and making them for no reason. When I saw this fun little party being hosted over at Pefectly Imperfect via Cassie and Gail, I knew I had to join. So here are 25 totally random things about me. I hope I don't scare you away ;)1. I’ve seen Bob Dylan in concert more than 20 times and stopped counting long ago. 2.  My three dogs are named after Bob Dylan or his songs.3. My favorite part of the day is cuddling with Ray and the mutts right before … [Read more...]

death of a succulent

February 8, 2012 9 Comments

The cute succulent garden I had growing in in the living room is no longer a lively  addition to our space.Instead, I'm faced with this pathetic sight. Rest in peace little plant. I'm sorry I failed you.I still think my track record is improving. Two out of three isn't so bad! They lasted about four months too. That has to be some sort of milestone...at least for me.I may get "the look" … [Read more...]
