Quiet-Time Basket

I’m not disciplined at it, but I’m striving to be, more and more everyday. Some mornings life gets away from me. Breakfast preparations, the dishes. The 2-year-molars waking the older one early.

This post is technically late for me.  It’s Wed. morning here but it’s still Tuesday on the East Coast where most of my blog readers are so we’ll let it slide.  This week is overwhelmingly busy here as we’re leaving for the States on Friday for a Thanksgiving trip and I’m hosting a party here… Continue reading Tuesdays Unwrapped: Creating

2 Blogs in 1

Some of you may have read my other blog.  Today I decided to merge the 2 blogs.  I couldn’t keep up with 1 blog let alone 2 and all my crafts are such a part of my everyday life anyway so I thought it was better to have them both in one spot.  So please… Continue reading 2 Blogs in 1
