Who I Am and Why I’m Here
In my constant quest to learn and improve myself, I stumbled across a series of blog posts from The Daily Post called Blogging 101 - Zero to Hero.

Perception is Reality…Or is it?
I love the concept of changing our perception by changing our thoughts and how that can affect our reality. The problem is that I am not good at remembering to use this idea this when I'm stressed, struggling and/or just plain down on myself.

Land of the Free
I am a sucker for free stuff, but who isn't?! In my crafting world, there are three types of free "stuff" that I cherish: free patterns, free ideas, and free items.

Outdoor Style Addition
I bought my fiance a pair of Adirondack chairs for Christmas, and he had fun assembling them and giving them a few coats of protective finish. We've used the chairs almost every evening since the weather improved, and while they are comfortable and beautiful on their own, I've been itching to add a couple of … Continue reading Outdoor Style Addition
