Happy National Dessert Day from Sweet Shoppe Designs! That’s right – October 14th is known as National Dessert Day in the United States, and we believe that’s a holiday well worth celebrating. It’s a day to indulge in the sweet course that concludes a meal. Perhaps that consists of a cake, ice cream, pastry, confection, […]
When was the last time you wrote a letter? Not a text message or an email, but an actual physical letter? I know, handwritten letters can, quite literally, be a pain to draft. “Old ways are hard,” writes Wesley Baines. “They’re time-consuming. And how we spend our time is a language unto itself—a letter written […]
Digital Scrapbooking Day weekend is almost here, and I am practically vibrating with excitement! One of the things I love most about this holiday of ours is that it combines two of my favorite activities: scrapbooking and shopping. So with that in mind, I’ve combed through the store to bring you a bevy of kits […]
“Memory,” wrote Oscar Wilde, “is the diary that we all carry about with us.” When you hear the word diary, what is it you think of? Perhaps it’s a small pink book with a locking latch that you stashed in your most secret hiding place so your siblings couldn’t find and read it. Maybe it’s […]
Did you know Thursday, September 16th is National Guacamole Day? Yep – apparently, it’s a thing! In case you’re not familiar with this most delicious of foods, guacamole is a dip, spread, or salad made from mashed-up avocados and a variety of diced veggies, spices, and juice, depending on the preference of the chef (and those […]
Today is International Dog Day. The term “heartbeat at my feet” perfectly captures life as a dog parent. They are yapping, furry balls of endless energy wrapped around a heart filled with unconditional love for you. And if you are anything like me, you have DOZENS of adorable photos of them to scrapbook. Dogs are […]
August often feels like the last hurrah for the summer. It’s an opportunity to savor those last days of freedom before the routine sets in. Good weather often means it includes outdoor fun with family and friends. What a perfect time for a picnic or outdoor barbeque! So whether or not it’s a blanket spread […]
Does your family enjoy the outdoors? Hiking scenic trails, snuggled up in your sleeping bag tent camping under the stars, bonfires and s’mores… it sounds idyllic and perfect. Reality might be sweltering heat and mosquitoes or it could be glamping with air conditioning in an RV. Either way, there will be unforgettable memories and hopefully […]
As a native Floridian, spending the day at the beach has always been easily accessible. I know that opportunities to get close to the sea are not as easy for many people. I have fond memories of walking down the beach with my feet sinking into the sand, warm waves washing up and looking for […]
You might not be someone that follows a lot of sports year round but many of us, even the most non “sportsing” ones, are glued to the television or tablet for a couple of weeks watching the Olympics. Whether we’re cheering on our own country or our favorite athletes, we’re staying up late and getting […]
I was surprised to actually see Christmas products out already in a craft store… I mean it’s FIVE months away! But many of us start our holiday shopping early in the year especially for those items that require time to create. So I thought now might be the perfect time to think a bit about […]
July is Ice Cream month! That seems completely serendipitous with all the high temperatures we’re seeing in much of the world. What’s not to like? I mean… sugar, eggs, cream/milk and usually some kinds of fruit or something else to make it yummy. Perfect on a hot summer day! And if you use a homemade […]
