About Me
A fresh new catalogue will always make me smile, a tall glass of lemonade signifies the start of summer. I will never underestimate the power of a post-it note. I love anything old, and with a story. I'm always up for a challenge. I love traditions especially when it comes to family & friends. I laugh when I'm nervous. I believe gyms are for sweating not make-up. I think crafting brings people together. That’s me, in a nutshell.

Craft and Create A Bit of Bling
No doubt about it, I’m in a blingy-kinda-mood and my jewelry box is becoming a bit robust. I made this little addition a couple of days ago. A little dash of gangsta and a pinch of rock n’ roll.
Circus Appeal for Book Club
In lieu of tonight’s book club meeting I thought I would string together a row of images inspired by our amazing read, Water for Elephants. If you haven’t had chance to check it out…I would highly suggest it. But then … Continue reading
Weekend Re-cap- The Sunday Sit
Yup, that pretty much sums it up…the Sunday sit. With the combination of finishing off the flu (for weeks now), the hustle and bustle of daily activity, and a few other stressors, I woke up Sunday morning with nothing to … Continue reading
Dream Spree: Young the Giant Concert
Super pumped because this weekend Erik and I will be rocking out at the “I Saw Them When” show at the Crystal Ballroom to newcomers Young the Giant. I figured I haven’t been on a dream spree in a while, … Continue reading
I Heart… White Owl
Romantic, stunning, and the beauty of all things vintage. I can see myself sporting one of these items at a wedding or with a plain white tee, the best of both worlds! The team of sisters at White Owl hit … Continue reading
Craft and Create I – Mug Rug
The first official PMQG activity for 2011 is to create a “mug-rug”. I’m not going to lie…at first I was a bit skeptical. Since I don’t have any kids, I was thinking “what the heck will I use that for?”…well, … Continue reading
