Can grocery shopping actually be inspiring? I think so.
I used to think that there was nothing worse than having to drag two little boys through the grocery store.  Now, I haven’t gotten to the point where I actually like it, but I can admit that it isn’t as bad as it used to be.  For these reasons:

The boys are getting older, so they can walk alongside me and I don’t have to push the huge car cart around anymore.
The lady at the bakery has an eagle eye and a sixth …

I have this adorable Christmas Freestyle Mini Album, which is designed to be printed on 4×6 photo paper:

Simply clip your digital papers to it (in Photoshop), add photos, replace the flower elements with some from your digital kit (or leave them off and add some from your traditional stash) and print!  Glue the pages to some “found” chipboard (think cereal boxes and corrugated cardboard).  Punch holes and tie with ribbon or …

Hopefully you guys won’t think I am the CHEAPEST person in the world.  I prefer the term “frugal”.  Hee, hee!
Okay, so a couple of weekends ago we went up to Washington to visit with some of my family.  I was looking for a last minute, totally frugal Christmas gift, and searched through my fully stocked pantry.  (New readers: I’m a crazy coupon lady.)  Remember all of the photos of the brownie mixes that I picked up for practically free back in September?  And, have you noticed that I have been …

OH my goodness. I’ve totally been clogging your Google Readers lately, haven’t I? I’m sorry. Please don’t unsubscribe just because I’ve gone temporarily insane. I’m sure I’ll be back to some sort of normal blogging schedule soon. (Schedule? What’s a schedule? Need to look into that.)
The problem is, I have too many passions.
I am passionate about my {seriously stunning, and don’t you want to start gathering your dowry money now?} children. OH MY GOODNESS. Today has been so wonderful!! My …

My siblings and I usually trade family photos for Christmas, and I must say that they are probably my very favorite present of all.  I LOVE them so much.  I really look forward to receiving them (even if they are electronic, siblings!!!  Don’t forget to send me my picture!!)  Oh, have I mentioned that I come from a HUGE family?  I’m #2 of 10 or 11 kids.  It’s complicated.  And, yes, my mother did give birth to 5 children.  And, yes, 5 of them are adopted.  And, yes, my parents …

Yep!  I’ve got two new releases for my paper crafting friends.  Two little treat bags that come in large and small versions.  The large version is approximately 4.5 inches tall by 3 inches wide.  The small version is 3.5 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide.  It is a wonderful size for gift cards!
Here they are (linked!):

Don’t you love those unique names?  {sigh}
Anyway, here are my little bags:
