The best thing about memories is making them!

Grandpa’s Garden

There’s something so wonderful about a full, lush garden just bursting with life.  It’s so much work, but also so worth it when you gather up the goodies you’ve grown.  I remember as a kid visiting my grandparents and spending time with them in their garden.  It was huge!  My Grandpa would pull up some veggies and wipe off the dirt… and we’d eat them right then, still warm from the sun shining on the ground.  That’s how I learned to love radishes!  Grandpa’s Garden is my homage to the garden my Grandpa loved so much.

Happy Camper

We love getting away in the summer months and getting back into nature.  It’s always fun to explore new places and revisit beloved ones.  I’ll admit though that I’m no longer willing to go camping in a tent… I’m not THAT fond of camping!  We have a 5th wheel trailer with all the amenities… even a gas fireplace!  I have no problem going somewhere for a few days without hook-ups.  As long as the heater works when it’s cold, and I can use our trailer bathroom… I’m good.  So maybe it’s more “glamping” than camping, but it counts, right?

Don’t forget to join us in the forum for our super Summer Scrap-a-thon!  There’s a new challenge posted every other day, and the best part is that you have all summer to complete them!  With different prize levels for how many you complete, there’s sure to be something for everyone!  (PS, look for a challenge from me August 23rd!)

I was feeling a little crafty yesterday, so I decided to work on a new tiered tray kit… camping themed of course!

Happy crafting!

Snow Much Fun

While a lot of snow can be a major pain in the behind, it can also be totally awesome!  (Apologies… the 80’s girl in me can’t help but sneak out from time to time!)  Winter activities can be a whole lot of fun.  Between snowball fights and building a snowman, to carving a path down a fresh snowfall on the mountain and the good ol’ hockey game… maybe it’s the Canadian girl in me, but I do love the winter sports!

This first one is my eldest daughter playing with my youngest about eight years ago… they had a grand time in the snow that day!  It sure warmed my heart on that cold, but sunny, day.

I know many of you may have heard the heartbreaking news that yesterday our sweet Ru of Studio Basic Designs lost her husband suddenly, and is now facing her future without the man she loves by her side. If you are like us, you’re wondering how you might help, so I wanted to make sure you know that an incredible fundraising collab will be released on Tuesday, January 25th with all proceeds going to Ru and her son Brian. It is our hopes that this fundraiser shows her how much she is loved, and financially supports her for even a short time to give her the tiniest bit of time to grieve. If you want to join us in this effort, please watch your inbox on Tuesday for those details…
