Christmas season is coming up. Or already here according to the big-name stores. Try your hand at making these nifty Star Wars snowflakes with some free patterns. The guys also have patterns for The Force Awakens, Frozen, and some classic Star Wars characters.

Wedding sundries are packed away. Thank You cards are sent. You figured out what that light switch finally does. Life returns to a new normal. “Thinking of buying a house?” “When are you having kids?” “Going to get a new car?” What? I just had some pretty good sized life changes. Secured a husband. Moved…
Can we all agree it has been a weird week? Here’s a little something that might bring a little cheer. And I’ve been listening to Christmas music since October so don’t even start with me about the fake-tradition of waiting until after Thanksgiving.

Crafters know the feeling. As do writers, painters, sewers, chefs, sculptors, and other creator types. It’s that feeling you get when you need to just make something. A thing from mostly nothing.

When mailing out those precious invites, common sense dictates that one sends a sampling of two to three through the mail. A testing of the system, if you will. They arrive – one has achieved success and can move forward. They are returned – access the situation and make the required corrections and test again.…
We decided to forgo sending out “Save the Date” cards to friends and family. Not to be non-conformists or to knockout another tradition – we simply didn’t want the added stress. I had a string of family emergencies that demanded my time and my (then) fiancé pointed out the fact that it would be faster…
I didn’t want one. I’ll just get that out there at the start. I was adamant. No ring. Nope! Especially a diamond ring. It just isn’t my style. I was firm in my opinion. I got a ring. Hypocrite! I know. I know. I didn’t want an engagement ring for a host of reasons: I…
“Will you marry me?” After a quick confirmation that I would, my (then) fiance and I sat down on his couch and had to make our first decision as an engaged couple: how the heck do we tell people? It seemed to be a no-win situation. A Kobayashi Maru, if you will (don’t worry, Star…
