I am sure we aren’t the only ones who lovingly refer to our grandpas as “Papa.” I went through a phase of calling my own dad “Papa” because I watched a little too much “Little House on the Prairie” growing up… but that’s neither here nor there. Now my kids call their grandpas “Papa,” which…
Are you still on the hunt for something easy for your kiddos to hand out to their friends and classmates this Valentine’s Day? I’ve got you covered. I figure I’ve still got another year or two before my daughter realizes that they make and sell Princess Valentines, at which point my opinion will no longer…
It was 2 1/2 years ago when my husband and I switched over to the cash envelope system to help us stay on budget. We are still going strong, although I can’t say we are sticklers. We both still carry credit cards and I often forget to bring my envelopes with me when I go…
I’ve had an awesome & very busy Christmas season in my shop. Thank you to everyone who purchased Christmas cards, stationery, artwork and other goodies from me – I can’t tell you how much it means to me to have your support!

This was mostly because I found it difficult to get my footing in the beginning and I wanted to help others who were intimidated by cloth. You can find those articles here.
I have a feeling Easter will be here before we know it. I am hoping to be on top of it this year and start gathering Easter basket goodies now and prepping Easter cards, but good intentions aren’t always enough… In any event, I did get a new Easter card up in my Etsy shop that would be perfect to showcase your little bunnies:
Hopefully you were able to catch some of the “Capture the Little Moments” series here on the blog last month. I had a great time featuring some of my favorite photographers, sharing their knowledge with you and participating in a month-long photo challenge that produced some awesome, memorable photographs.
With Valentine’s Day almost here, the race is on for every mom to gather up Valentines to pass out in class for each child. My daughter is in preschool, therefore I can still decide what she gives out and don’t have to succumb to the over-priced, hideous Dora/Princess/*insert random character name here* Valentines sold in stores. Thank God.
Mom and Pop is graciously giving one reader their 101 Set, which includes lessons for both Portraits 101 and Camera 101 (a $99 value).
