Crazy nuts here. How ’bout you? Did you squeeze in too many activities for the kids lately too? Sure makes the winter fly by though. So the Crafter finally got back to scrapping after reclaiming some mojo and carving out a little time away from the kids (ie hiding out in the basement while distracting… Continue reading She’s been a busy missy!

Back in the Saddle
Hooray for routine and schedules!! She doesn’t always feel this way but after a couple of weeks of mess and mayhem, the Crafter is glad to be back into some semblance of order (and away from the Christmas baking).

I am also a huge fan of ‘What Not to Wear’.… Continue reading Can I get a ‘You look nice dear’ ?
Whose your Uncle Tony?
My scrappin’ is lackin’ these past few days! Uncle Tony is in town.Do you have one of those in your life? You know, the long-time single male friend of the family, still ‘playing the field’, chasing those younger women. The husband lives vicariously through him and, the kids adore him…(he’ll actually get on the play… Continue reading Whose your Uncle Tony?
