The Sister Letters

I have a fun tutorial coming up in a few hours but in the meantime would you help me with something?  I have always thought it would be fun to find a brand new blog that has a few great posts and put a big spotlight on them.  A little undiscovered gem that has never had a comment, let alone a link.  And I finally found one!  I thought I never would. It is called The Sister Letters.  Two sisters who are writing back and forth to each other, sharing ideas.  Such a great idea.

Remember what it felt like when you had your first comment outside of your immediate family?  Or when someone linked to that tutorial you worked so hard on?  It is like a little pat on the back saying “you’ve done good”.  It’s the best.  If you don’t have a blog you will just have to take my word for it, but trust me it totally makes your day.

So here is my idea.  How about we all go over and say hi, and give them a compliment or two, they have a few really great posts just this week.  Then when they jump on they will have this great surprise waiting for them!  Fun right?  It will be like a big ‘welcome to the party’ kind of thing….oh this is going to be so fun!  I already left a couple comments, I was the first one to ever leave a comment besides them as far as I can tell, perfect!

Then come back here in a few hours, I am just finishing up one of my favorite projects ever.  Get your sewing machine warming up!

Talk soon ;)

I think one of the hardest parts about being home with my kids all day is controlling my appetite!  Some days I feel like I spend ALL my day in the kitchen fixing lunches or getting someone a snack.  Now that my baby is walking she literally stands at the fridge, holds onto the [...]

The Bullet List

I had a chance to meet today’s author at a conference recently and knew immediately I wanted to have her on The Bullet List.  She had a great presence, a killer outfit, and was so easy to carry on a conversation with.  All things that add up to a great list!  Lucky for me she [...]

Crafty Kids Corner

St. Patrick’s Day for me has always been a day you wore green so you don’t get pinched.  In the past I haven’t really been excited or really cared to make it anything but that.  After hopping around some of our favorite blogs I’m pretty excited about doing some of these things with my girls!  [...]

Can you smell that?  Mmmmm….fried scones……doesn’t get much better then that folks! Growing up there weren’t many things that made me happier then the very rare occasion my mom made Navajo tacos for dinner.  Not only did we get to have Navajo tacos for dinner, but that also meant we got scones with butter and honey [...]

So I walk into my niece’s bedroom last night and there on the wall hangs the best idea I have seen in a while.  I am sure it has been done before, but it’s new to me and I think it is genius!

My sister took a magnet board and large disc magnets to keep her [...]
