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 […]
Hi Sweet Shoppers!!! Nikki E here bringing you one of my most favorite ever challenges!!! Before I was a Babe, the Cookie Decorating challenge was always the one I completed first. I’ll save you from any more of my babbling and show you the Cookie. 🙂 Click the image or here to grab it. Need […]
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 […]
On June 15, 2012, Disney opened the newest land in the Disney California Adventure theme park, Cars Land, based on the Disney/Pixar animated films. Cars Land is the centerpiece of a $1 billion-plus transformation of the California Adventure theme park. Having passes to the park, we have been able to see the whole transformation take […]
Good morning Sweet Shoppers! I can’t believe how quickly this summer has passed. I know lots of you are back to school (or will be soon). We have a couple of weeks left here and are starting to get ready now. We haven’t had the best summer here, it has rained more days than it […]
So, here I sit-one week and one day away from the end of my Summer vacation-I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be happy or sad-because my emotions run both sides at any given moment. I have had an unusually long Summer-I was out an entire 10 days before Landen was out of school so […]
