Wordless Wednesday - - Daisies

Katie 10:59 PM 3 Comments

I snapped this the other day while I was driving home from work. I was pulled up to a light and glanced over and saw these so carefree in the breeze. This was a totally unfocused snap and drive because the light changed colors just as I turned my camera on! I just love coming across little things like this. There...

Finish It Friday - Health Matters

Katie 1:19 AM 2 Comments

Sheesh. Technically, it's Tuesday and I just remembered that I had decided to write this. I think that's a side effect of two little boys who have been cranky and wanting a lot of attention. I love giving it to them, but sometimes it wipes things right out of my head. I know that you moms out there understand..and...

Where are the crafts?

Katie 9:11 PM 0 Comments

That's what I'm starting to wonder myself. I seem to have stalled on my grand scheme of getting this place in order so that I could actually craft. I know that this is due to a combination of factors : working, kids, depression and just being tired. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself. With the help of someone...

Now that they’ve figured it out, they’ve taken that number and for every search you do using their...

Katie 10:18 PM 0 Comments

I feel like I'm slacking here. I have all these great days of the week themes and I haven't been writing like I wanted to. It just seems that on the days I work, I'm brain scrambled by the time I get home. Time to clear out the head as well as the house, I guess. All I can do is to keep tryi...

PayPerPost - I've Taken The Plunge

Katie 1:36 PM 5 Comments

So, I did it. I signed up for payperpost. I had seen this on a lot of blogs, but I wasn't sure that I wanted to do this. Somehow it seemed like selling out. That was before I saw that my new friend at All Things Frugal had done it and made almost $600 in 3 months, I couldn't say no. After all, every penny sure helps...

Tackle It Tuesday - Jars

This isn't a huge tackle like last week. The difference is that this week, I've been sick. My oldest son brought a cold from his dad's house and guess who caught it. Yep! Me. So, while in bed, I tacked some of my jar projects. I'm far from done, but i's progress. My shelf supports also arrived (yay!) so I can get those...
