So if you have some graduation photos to scrapbook, I’ve got you covered today with […]
Next Monday is Memorial Day in the U.S., a federal holiday set aside for remembering those who have given their lives in military service for our country.

April showers bring May flowers… we’ve all heard the saying. I couldn’t find a definitive source for it though. I found a poem by Thomas Tusser in 1610, “Sweet April showers, Do spring May flowers” and a bit from a song from the 1920’s “Though April showers may come your way, they bring the flowers that […]
This Sunday is Easter here in the US. It can be a time for renewed faith and family gatherings. It could also be a time for decorating eggs and then hiding them all over the yard for children to find, baskets filled with chocolate bunnies and jelly beans.

I inherited two boxes of old family photos that I’ve been scanning over the past several years and trying to identify family members with my father. There is something fascinating about those vintage black & white photos… bits of history, decor, clothing styles, traditions, almost a little peek into the past. I’ve also jumped onto […]
It was officially SPRING in the northern hemisphere yesterday. It is the season between winter and summer when the weather becomes warmer and plants start to grow again.
