It feels wrong to say a Christmas ornament is "sexy", but that's what this one is. No elves, snow, or bright colors on this ornament. Just elegantly painted glass in a pattern that's very trendy right now.The lovely folks at DecoArt were kind enough to invite me to participate in their 12 Days of Christmas event. I jumped at the chance to use their glass paint line to create my own ornaments. As I perused their online catalog, I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw … [Read more...]

DIY Couples Costume: Popeye and Olive Oyl (and Swee’ Pea, too!)
What costume could be more perfect for a couple with a new baby at Halloween? Only Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Swee' Pea! It's hard to choose because we've had so many fun costumes over the years, but THIS is probably my favorite: Popeye and Olive Oyl!

I’ll be home
I thought of my dad when I came up with this card to enter in this Moxie Fab challenge. This will be my second Christmas without him. We were always travelling for the holidays, either him to see us or the other way around. Thus the map I used to make the truck. In 2009, however, I chose to stay in PA instead of going home. I reasoned that it was my daughter's first Christmas and we were moving back to Texas in 6 months, so we would spend 2010 with … [Read more...]
