If you got this card in the mail, would you laugh out loud?! I think I would. I am just loving the Paper Smooches Vegtastic stamp set. And that chevron embossing folder (Lifestyle Crafts) is adorable, too. I did a color wash on those tomatoes with watercolor and then used some pop dots to give […]

I usually don’t start making pumpkin treats until October or November, but here it is early September and I’ve already made my favorite mini pumpkin pies. But I have a good reason! My daughter is pregnant and she was craving pumpkin pie. How can I say no to that? These are so fun to make, […]

Dose of Sunshine: Love the way it is
Hello! You may not have noticed, but this “Dose of Sunshine” is usually posted on Monday, and here it is Tuesday! We had a busy weekend. And my husband was in a bicycle accident during a race in Flagstaff this weekend. It was quite the accident: the handlebars on his bike broke right off! This […]
