If you’re new to my blog, you might find yourself wondering, who is this amazing man and why do I keep letting him cook for me?
Well, my wonder-bred Italian boy is none other than my boyfriend (my BF or beef as Kelly and I started saying), Mark. What gives [...]
Today’s post comes from my friend (well Blend or Tweep really), Jaci, was kind enough to write a post for you today about librarians. She’s on her way to becoming one. And I’ve thought of becoming one myself. Maybe. It’s on the short list of “What I want to Be When I Grow [...]

You’ve already seen this one, but not with all the color [...]
DON’T WORRY. I’m not leaving my job. I just put this together so I’d have it for the off-chance I’d have an opportunity to do some freelance.
I created a little portfolio booklet out of some FREE paper samples (Neenah and French) in the style of one of my wallets. It’s about half the size [...]
This week’s Humpday Blog Love goes to my friend Cara at Little Pretties.
I met Cara a couple months back at Market Day. I didn’t realize until later that I’d been following her on Pinterest and that we have very similar taste in things. I [...]
