I know, I know…it’s been forever since I’ve posted anything here! I took a timeout for several reasons, one of which is posted about below – I’ve been mourning the loss of one of my very best friends. I still miss him daily, and I don’t know if I’ll ever stop…but it does get easier …
My Friend Troy
Troy was my Peter Pan. A wonderful, wonderful boy who never wanted to grow up. He called me his Tinker Bell, and he was always on the lookout for new adventures for us. And we did have some pretty wonderful adventures together. Troy was a dreamer, and he only believed in dreaming big; he’d never …
Blog Post #9!
I know, I know…it’s been a while. Again. Sorry ‘bout that. What can I say though? Guess I’m just kind of bad at keeping up with things sometimes. So, what have I been up to for the last few months? Oh you know, the usual. Folding books, working at my actual job, making the occasional …
Blog Post #8!
So I was showing a co-worker some items from my website the other day, and she said, “Wow. So this is what people with no kids have time to do.” Ha, and she’s absolutely right! If I did have kids, I’m sure that they would take up most of my time and energy. Hopefully I’d …
Blog Post #7!
Whew, this has been a crazy couple of weeks. Let me just say that again. Whew. I moved to a new house last weekend – so so soo lucky that I had an enormous amount of help from boyfriend, my two older brothers, and bestie! I’m pretty much settled in now (even unpacked all of …
Blog Post #6!
Here’s another blog post about something creative! I learned how to decoupage several years ago, and lately I’ve had the urge to try it again. I started up again with a fairly old, extremely standard black bookcase that has been in my room for a couple of years now – no pics of that yet, …
Blog Post #5!
Okay, this one is going to be really short, I promise. I just wanted to do a quick post to share some new info about my folded books – some of them now appear in the winter issue of Simply Vintage Magazine! They even made the cover, which is super awesome! 🙂 My mom has some …
Blog Post #4!
We’re all stressed, right? Whether you’re having problems at work, problems with money, problems with friends, or problems at home, it’s usually pretty difficult to completely avoid some form of stress. I know that I’ve certainly been feeling stressed lately, as I’m sure quite a few of us have. On top of everything else going …
Blog Post #3!
I had an experience a few weeks ago, that made me realize something about men; this mainly has to do with a man’s reaction to a woman’s tears. Before I get into that though, here’s something that you may not know about me: I’m a crier. I cry at everything. Sappy commercials, corny birthday cards, …
Blog Post #2!
I started making crossword puzzles for different publications about four years ago, and have found it to be a very entertaining (not to mention challenging!) way to make a little extra money in my spare time. Not that I have a lot of spare time anymore, what with all of the book folding, embroidery work, …
