I love Instagram. I love to check out the photos in my home feed. I love to quickly post a photo and see who liked it, and engage in comments back and forth. It’s fast and easy to pop up a fun photo and be done with it. However, I have recently come to realize […]

Come visit me at CHA 2013 (The Craft & Hobby Association’s Winter Conference & Trade Show)
I’ve taken it easy this holiday season… spending time with family and friends, relaxing and just enjoying the moment. (Also becoming completely addicted to The Walking Dead and catching up on the first 3 seasons of the show. Oh the shame…) It’s time to get back to blogging and crafting though, and I could not […]

When’s the last time you appreciated the town you live in…?
Last May I flew to Austin, TX and met up with 5 other bloggers I had never met in person, but felt like I had “known” them for years. We had a blast and it was decided then and there that we were going to make this an annual event, with each blogger taking over […]
Pinterest’s new auto-descriptions (What I’ve learned about my photos and some unsolicited advice.)
