Digital Scrapbook Kit “Vintage Valentine 2013” Freebie

It seems like I just put away all the holiday things, and we are already into Valentine season.  Everywhere I go/look, there are Valentine decorations, and even Easter decorations! Well, I happened to stop by a most wonderful store in our town, Mozart’s, and felt inspired to do a freebie kit. As with last years […]

The Noduitgang!

Recently, DH and I met up with some friends from way back when.  We all met at an international graduate program in Delft Netherlands.  It was probably one of the most memorable year in my life.  We hailed from Nigeria, Trinidad and Tobago, and the States.  I can’t believe how young we were back then! […]

More Lampwork Beads!

I seem to have regained my passion for creativity this year.  All the things that I enjoyed in the past and thought I somehow lost interest in have become interesting again. I have so many unfinished projects, as well as new ones constantly floating around in my mind these days. The weather has been a […]

Zentangle Challenge #101 “Phicops”

The Diva recently celebrated her 100th zentangle challenge.  I had taken a break from zentangling, but decided to try and participate again in the weekly challenges.  The new year starts off with a new tangle called “Phicops” that B-rad, the Divas hubby created.  It took a few times of draw/erase, but I kind of like […]

Dr. Oz Three Day Detox

Woo-hoo! two posts in one day… As long as I was talking about eating well, I thought I’d mention the Dr. Oz three day detox.  I just finished day three! After a crazy month with all three kids at home, our good eating just went out the window.  Considering the boys eat like carnivores, my […]

Einkorn Bread

In our quest  for better health, DH and I have drastically altered our way of eating.  After reading the book Wheat Belly by William Davis, we decided to try a lifestyle without wheat.  I thought DH would have some difficulty with it since he grew up in Europe, on bread, pasta, whole milk, and real […]

Show And Tell

Thought I’d share a couple of things my daughter made during break (anything to put off doing her homework and last few college apps!).  Here is an adorable retro looking pink kitty with daisy cheeks – I think it is a gift for her grandmother: She’s also very much into everything Disney.  We found a […]

Official Start Of New Year!

Things have been so hectic around here to say the least.  I am finally ready to kick off the new year… Just to wrap up the season: My younger two have had a tradition of making a ginger bread house.  With all their activities, they just managed to make it before younger son returned to […]

Kid #1 Launched…

I knew this day would come. I think every parent anticipates this day with mixed emotions.  I am very sad but happy for him, at the same time.  Sad because I will miss seeing him on a regular basis, and happy that he is finally going to start his adult life…  My oldest son left […]

Thumpers?

I must admit, I am getting to the age where I will soon be joining the ranks of the AARP. This being said, I had never heard of a “Thumper” (except for that cute little bunny), until my recently graduated oldest son decided to have a go at making them.  What does one do after […]

New Lampwork Beads!

My interest in lampworking kicked in recently, so I have been spending some more time behind the torch.  Here are some beads that I made and listed in my Etsy shop.  I’ve also amassed an enormous amount of digital scrapbooking kits, and since I really haven’t had the opportunity to use them, I have incorporated […]
