Well, as of this week, I am officially employed! Yes, I went and did it and got a jobby-job! I had the wonderful opportunity to stay at home for much of my pregnancy and after my son was born which gave me time to focus on really getting Keepsake Couture situated.

Okay, so I went and did it. I crossed over to the other side today and didn’t even see it coming. It all started out rather innocently actually. As some of you may know, my trusty, 4-year old Dell laptop got “sick” about a week ago with a nasty virus. I, of course, couldn’t live [...]

It seems that now that I have a little boy, I look at patterned paper just a little bit differently. I like pretty much the same things but I find myself gravitating towards more “rough and tumbly” boy papers that I can use for a variety of different Brady projects. For example, every time we [...]

I hope you all have enjoyed the Take 5 interviews so far! It is amazing how many incredibly talented artists there are. So many, in fact, that I’m sure I’m missing out on featuring some fabulous shops. I typically look through the shops at Etsy or get suggestions from those that have done the Take 5 to find who [...]

The second I saw this on the MoMA Store website, I fell in love! At first glance, I thought it was just a super cool calculator. But then I read the description further and found out that it can also be connected with a USB cable to your laptop and be used for a number pad. Pure [...]

Okay, so I’m being a good daughter and am already working on my Mother’s Day gifts to my mom and my mom-in-law. I wanted to do something for them that was unique and something that they would cherish for years to come. Of course, that meant that whatever it was would need pictures of my [...]
