It’s December Daily time again.  I enjoyed this project so much last year that despite life’s chaos right now, I’m going for it again.  It brought so much to the holiday season last year.  I knew I needed to keep it simple so I created a basic design to be printed at home on 4X6 photo paper.  This year is all about making these simple for me. I don’t have real internet access these days (hoping that changes next week,...

A new website launched last week and I’m finding myself really inspired by it.  I’ve learned a number of things and now have several projects floating around in my head.  The site is called My Craft Channel (www.mycraftchannel.com).  Each weekday, there’s about thirty minutes of video- two different segments and a tip.  Topics include sewing, baking/party throwing, scrapbooking, jewelry making, photography, and more. I...

So, I’ve been working to merge things together and thinking about some things I’d like to do in the future.  Add to that some thoughts I’ve had about life today and you get: Ordinary Details!  Reflective Snapshots and Reflective Scrapbooking will now be combined as Ordinary Details.   Being online for me has always been about sharing personal expression.  I’ve seen several phases in my sharing and I think the overall...

I believe, no really, I know that all of us scrapbookers are just a little bit crazy. Not because we want to capture our memories. But we will go to “extreme” heights in order to do that. Here’s case in point: As a coach in Finding Photo Freedom, I’m doing blog posts for the class. I wrote today’s post about the importance of archiving. And then thought about the two things I would grab in case of fire etc- probably...

Have I ever told you about my waffle maker. It’s more precious to me that you might imagine. Ask me what I would take if I had 5 minutes to save stuff out of my house and my waffle maker would be #1 or 2 on the list. Seriously, I’m a bit crazy about it and the quilt that my Lisa’s granny made me.  I’ve been known to put it in the fire-proof safe at times This waffle iron is unlike most any other waffle iron- you’d...
