Our anniversary is tomorrow. Every year it kinda strikes me like a slap in the face. How is it possible I have been married to this man for NINE years? Me. The girl who didn’t want to be tied down to any one person, the girl who didn’t want to be a stay at home […]
Hi everyone, it is me Darla with a fun post today about taking better photos with your smartphones. With everyone on the move these days, lugging around your real camera is not always the easiest thing to do. Most often, we opt to take photos with the next best thing – our smartphones! I won’t […]
If you’re like me, this is the most wonderful time of the year for those of us with allergies and asthma. *can you detect my sarcasm?* each year, we dread the changing of the seasons. it’s a very bittersweet thing for us because we all love the cooler weather, the gorgeous colors, and the […]
With fall and the kids back in school, I’m sure most everybody feels the pace picking up like we do in the Hartley home. So, I was more than content to take the opportunity last weekend to just chill out, watch movies, and draw and paint a little. It feels so good to be creative […]
I am always looking for new activities to do with my kids on those rainy days, or times when they are bored and are trying to find something to do. I pull this one out every now and then because 1) it is super easy 2) it isn’t too messy and 3) it keeps them […]
Well, I know during the spring I shared that we were going to use our tax refund to remodel the main floor of our house on a very tight DIYer budget… we had found some kitchen cabinets at the Habitat for Humanity Restore and that was probably the biggest chore for us was piecing them […]

This is it…the day we’ve been waiting for… College Color Day. If you aren’t a college football fan then you probably have no idea what I’m talking about. College Color Day marks the kick off of the football season. It’s the day where you flaunt your team’s colors. At our house we are HUGE college […]
Hi there Sweet Shoppers! It’s Libby here today to share with you the project that has taken over my life for about the past 6 weeks or so. Before I get to the pics, I have to give you a little background. When Jeff and I first met, he already owned this house. It’s an […]
Happy Monday everyone! I was working on a layout recently about some of my very favorite things – and I had to laugh at how random and ordinary most of them were. BUT, they are all things that I use on an almost-daily basis, so I thought they were important enough to document. I thought […]
Hey everyone! Jacinda here. I’ve had a few comments on my layouts lately, that got me thinking maybe I should share how I shadow background papers. I discovered a little feature in photoshop some time ago (and totally by accident to be honest), that puts a slight wave into a layer, making it look a […]
Hi Sweet Shoppers!!! Nikki E here today to talk about the most fabulous most crazy time of the year, back to school! I usually love summer, but this summer was brutal. I felt like I was breaking fights up every 10 minutes, like I was always doing dishes, and since I was babysitting, I felt like we […]
