Memories From A Life

Recently, I had to find a picture from about a year and a half ago, for a friend of mine.  I have an amazing program called Memory Manager from Creative Memories; it’s so amazing, that usually I can find pictures from years ago in minutes with just a few clicks of the keyboard.  Imagine that you are looking for a picture of your daughter … Continue reading

Orange Cream Cupcakes

In the last couple of years my daughter “Poop” and have began to make cupcakes for friends and family, it started off as an fun afternoon of “cupcake wars” with Posey and since we’ve received many compliments on our yummy cupcakes and requests to make them often.  We’ve had fun experimenting with different flavors. We are MAD about cupcakes.

My Soap Box

I usually try to stay off of my soapbox when writing my blog posts.  But there are a few subjects that I just have to speak about. (ok well maybe a couple more than a few).

Silence Is Golden

Tonight there is silence…no one in the house but me.  Silence… Ok, well maybe not silence, since I can hear the hum of certain electronics in my home and the dog barking once in a while, but definitely quiet compared to normal. I know that old saying “silence is golden” is actually referring to not saying things that you shouldn’t, but tonight, … Continue reading

Faux Roman Shade Blinds

Several years ago I wanted Roman Shades in my family room.  The large window needed a shade due to the sunshine (and heat in the summer) blazing in, and I wanted something decorative yet simple on the window. When I received the estimate for the blinds I almost fell over dead!  They were so expensive!  I was a little disappointed but … Continue reading

Altered Alphabet Letter

I attended a 1st birthday party this last weekend and the theme, Fairy Garden Party, was adorable.  Reminded me of my granddaughter’s 1st birthday.  I never blogged about this day or posted pictures of the party.  I’m going to have to do that soon…better late than never. But for today I want to share one of their cute ideas. (at least I … Continue reading
