Tuesday Finds - Meeting with your Girlfriend(s)

Ok, we all love to get together with a girlfriend or two and chat and "catch up."    Ahhhhh, and we all long for that wonderful beverage while doing so....    when you meet with her - a long lost friend, your best "bud," a co-worker, neighbor or someone you see almost every day - bring her a special something....    here are some cool or hot (hahaha), as the case may be, cup cozies for her.   See what I found on Etsy.  Fun!

Find that PERFECT one for your next girly get together.

Fri - Words of Wisdom

I want you to right NOW, get rid of 5 things in your life that are useless, broken, duplicated, unLOVED, and/or out-of-date!   NOW!!!   Put them in the trash!   Dig down to those things that are NECESSARY for you to LOVE living.  Keep those things....    those truly REAL things - the things that bring you joy, make you happy, bring a smile to your face, warm your insides.....    

Now read this quote:


“You create simplicity by chipping away at the unreal, the useless, and the meaninglessness until, like Michaelangelo’s David, you are left with a life that is breathtakingly beautiful.”
– Vicki Robin


Now Michaelangelo, 
create YOUR very own  David!

Thursday Thoughts - School Daze

I have been all about preserving memories lately.....   preserving that family time....   preserving that ME time too!   And I have been "waxing nostalgic" because my baby twin boys started Big Boy School when they entered the doors to elementary school and their separate Kindergarten classrooms.   

I have no doubt that they will do wonderfully in school that I really want to preserve THEIR memories -- the memories that they are now creating outside of the realm of 'home'!!!  These are the times that their little brains really will be able to remember when they are adults.   I do remember a good bit of my Kindergarten year - the classroom, my friends, the playgound, the lunchroom, and yes, even my teacher.    So, how important is it to keep papers, artwork, report cards, and awards???   To me, it is paramount.    BUUUUUTTT, it has to be easy.

Also, I have been scrapbooking my family's memories since my oldest was born.  Again, paramount (oh yes) for me.   The ultimate and the necessary.....    Ok, but I have a confession..... I have recently transitioned all THREE of my boys' books from the traditional paper, stickers, die cuts, and other embellishments over to digital.   ANNNNDDD I love it!   I figured that since they were boys, the printed, skinny, sleek books are the way to go.   Again easy AND a time-saver!   However I do crave the feel of paper and the manipulation of the pieces in traditional scrapbooking, so have not given it up completely.   My family book is done traditionally.    Anyway, enough of my rambling....

Since I have streamlined my scrapbooking, I wanted a way to streamline a way to keep my memorabilia.....

sooooo, check this out!   I LOVE IT!!!   Easy, peasy!!


I found it on Someday Crafts!   Oh, so cute!


Thanks for coming by!
