Just over 4 years ago Elizabeth and I were driving around Salt Lake City in my mini van with our two oldest girls and my new born baby Ruth looking for just the right place to take pictures of Hannah and Grace wearing their handmade capes. I can still remember the details so vividly. Where we parked, what we talked about....and then I blinked and in an instant that newborn was wearing Grace's cape as a hand-me down. Time goes by so quickly...I had no idea so much time had gone ... View the Post
Gifts that Cost Nothing To Make (An Update)
Last year I wrote a post called "20 Gifts that Cost Nothing To Make But Might Just Be Priceless" And gift #6 on that list is what I called "The What Do You Know Notebook". All it is is a simple spiral bound notebook filled with questions you would like the answers to. I gave my grandpa one of these books (along with one of his favorite fountain pens). Some of the questions I hand wrote inside his book were: "Tell me about your first trip to Disneyland" "What was your worst job?" ... View the Post

We shared this tutorial a couple of weeks ago on The Crafting Chicks website, but you still have time to make a few before Christmas!

On the Go Bags Book Review
Are you as much of a "bag lady" as I am? I love bags. And not just purses....I just love bags. I feel like I am constantly carrying a million things around and liZ and I are always trading stuff with different bags that go back and forth to each of our houses. I even have a whole shelf in the mud room devoted to bags. Most of which are sad and not-so-cute and could definitely use an upgrade. So, recently when we were given the opportunity to review a fun new handmade book called On-the-Go ... View the Post
Great Books To Give (and Receive) for Christmas
There is a quote from a book written by Barry Lopez called "Crow and Weasel" that says, "Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive." I love that quote. I have it hanging in our family work room. And I believe it...stories are like magic. They can teach lessons, change moods, preserve histories, and help us see things from a different perspective. My husband says if given the choice to buy food or books I'd choose books every time. (And he is right! Books last ... View the Post
