Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
When Online Labels partnered with me to sponsor this post, they asked me to come up with a fall-related creative idea, the first thing that popped to mind was pumpkin spice lattes.

I LOVE watermelon! Watermelon and strawberries have always been my favorite foods – well, at least my favorite fruits. Now that I’m allergic to strawberries, watermelon features heavily in my diet. There’s just something so pretty and colorful about it – not to mention that it tastes SO good. Watermelon is mostly…well…water. But it’s still […]
I just love flowers – real, fabric, felt, paper, you name it – and I’m often incorporating flowers into my craft projects. I even made the flowers for my daughter’s wedding! (Of course, the boutonnieres and corsages were lost at the venue and we had to make a last minute dash to a florist to […]

Yikes. This is the last week of August. How did summer fly by so fast? We have spent most of August with not so summery weather but this week is making up for it. It’s hot and humid! I guess August decided to go out with a bang. Are you ready for fall? I’m of […]
It’s not always easy to get your family to help more around the house. My stance is, you live in a house. It’s your responsibility to help keep it clean.
