I think there is a lot of truth in that saying. In order to grow and get better we have to practice. Personally, I would love to master a new technique at the first attempt, but that’s rarely how it goes. I only have to look back at some of the first cards I made [...]

May Birthdays

This weekend my Mother and I celebrated our birthdays together. Hers was on the 20th of May and mine on the 21st. It was the first time in over a decade that I got to celebrate the occasion with my family in Sweden! We had a great time with lots of food, coffee and of [...]
Violet Birthday Card

I found a photo of a card I never published here on my blog. I made it quite a while ago. As is usually the case, this birthday card was made, photographed (that doesn’t always happen) and then promptly given away. That “birthday card stash” is especially elusive at my house. But whether it’s made [...]

I took the time to participate in Papertrey inks “Make it Monday” challenge. I say ‘took the time’, because I find that after the boys are finally in bed and the house it put back into some semblance of order it can be difficult to find the motivation to start something new. Does that sound [...]

Hi there, Can you believe it’s been over six months since I last seriously blogged? That was right around the time we started to get serious about preparing for our international move from Portland, OR to Vårgårda, Sweden.

If you're looking for interesting little candies and food bits to share with friends or give away, Trader Joe's never disappoints. They have so many inexpensive treats! I have to say its one of my fave places to shop. Right before Easter I found these little colorful Chocolate covered Sunflower seeds. I thought they were [...]

My little boy is 2 years old!! How on earth did we end up here so quickly? Sometimes I think I better stop blinking or I'll miss all the funny little things he does. Taking a few photos is of course one way to save those sweet memories and tuck them away somewhere safe. [...]
Floral Embellishment Challenge

I decided to join one more challenge from PTI today. To participate I had to create my own floral embellishments, use one on a card and put the rest on a piece of acetate (you know, like you buy them in the store) and give them to a friend. Here's my creation: I used the [...]

This will be a quick post. My husband just had a couple of days off so we have been out and about quite a bit. I have barely been at home and that has been nice for a change. But I wanted to show you the second thank you card I made last weekend. I [...]
