Last month, I wrote I doubted we would have a white Christmas! Boy, was I wrong! We didn’t get huge amounts of snow, but we did drop right into the negative temperatures and stayed there for a bit. I hope all of you are well, had an amazing holiday season (whichever you celebrate or not), …
Bucket list item… I am one of those people who loves snow! I love to wake up in the morning and see white where there had previously been green. Is there anything better than a pine tree with branches dusted with glistening snow? Well, yes, there are lots of things better than that, but you …
In April, Michelle (Funky Fashion Style) began a new fashion challenge. Michelle felt she needed something to push her to do some print mixing. And, so the Final Friday challenge was born! This means the last Friday of the month would be dedicated to a print mixing challenge. Luckily, she asked me to co-host with …
“Here to Forever” Happy Boxing Day! Don’t know what that is? I wrote a post about it (here). I know many of you are probably still in the midst of holiday celebrations!

And Cyber Monday, too.. I bet you’d be surprised to learn that, originally, Black Friday had absolutely nothing to do with shopping! It referred to the change of color in retailers’ ledgers. It was first used in…wait for it…1869!! That year saw a financial crisis when the US’s gold standard tanked. Most stores were “in …
“The Witch Doctor” I hope all of you had an amazing Thanksgiving if you live in the US. I totally missed Final Friday because I didn’t realize Black Friday and Final Friday would coincide! I was just a skosh busy! On top of that, I also missed the last Monday of the month for Songful …
“Look What You Made Me Do” I cannot believe today is Halloween! That means my favorite month of the year is just about over. Le sigh! And, of course, because it is my favorite month, it absolutely screamed out of the gate and dashed for the finish line! Today is also the last Monday of …
It’s the final Friday of October which makes me sad. It is, after all, my favorite month! But, don’t despair. Being the final Friday means it’s another edition of print mixing. My friend, Michelle of My Bijou Life Online, began this challenge in order to push herself outside her comfort zone. I’ve enjoyed doing that, …
