I'm a wife, mom, and former teacher. I decided to create a blog and share some of the ways I express myself everyday. You'll usually find my latest card creations, but I plan to throw in some projects from around the house as well. Maybe I'll even post a recipe once in a while. You never know what you're going to get!
