WELL. Obviously, over the last while I’ve started categories or themes. It just sort of happened and any ingenuity for a variety of names soon escapes my feeble brain. BUT. Categorizing works. Plus, I figured out I like this whole category-ish thing. I can blog and chat a bit about the things I love and […]
Open Me Gift Tags
Remember the little gift boxes in this post with the Open Me tags that I picked up at Ikea? It struck me to try making a few of my own tags!! While I like the ones from Ikea, better, {they just look more refined} these were fun to make. I’ve also used the idea […]
Gift Packaging ~ One of My Happy Things
Back last November, I posted about gift packaging. It is one of my happy things. Here are a few pictures of some small packages I’ve fixed up here and there, this year. I’ve had a lot of fun using the cupcake liner flowers on gifts! Ribbon and paper and stickers, oh my!
More Cupcake Liner Flower Fun
I’ve been playing around some more with paper and paper-y stuff! I showed you cupcake liner paper flowers in this post here. I opened my drawer in my kitchen one day; the one that holds all my cupcake liners and various things. I spied my bright-colored liners in various designs and “Lightbulb!” “Idea!” The […]
Birthday Blooms
Beautiful bright blooms. Brilliant sunshine streaming in. Light bouncing, dancing, catching, casting shadows, sparkling. Fantastic flowers. Fluid light flows from outside. Finding its way to fling glorious rays around. Camera clicks. Capturing radiance and freeze framing it. The splendor and the wonder in bright bouquets. A simple bud. Simply complex. I could never […]
Cupcake Liner Flowers
I’ve had a stack of white paper cupcake liners for a long time that I’ve eyed and thought, “I should really do something with these, but what?” I have a couple of recipes I like to keep foil cupcake liners around for, because the cupcakes stick to the paper liners in an annoying way. The foil […]

Chinese Style Gift Boxes And Very Fun, Completely Cute, Make Me Smile Gift Tags
These little packages make me so happy. They were fun to fix up. I had a last-minute-lunch with friends a couple of weeks ago and the last-minute-idea that it’d be fun to take gifts along for my girlfriends. I’d picked these Chinese take-out style gift boxes up at a Target one time and still had […]
A Box of Sunshine
Renae has been sick. She’s had the sinus/cough/sore throat/headache crud. She’s not done much of anything for about a week, and that’s not her at all. I’m ready to have my girl-that-feels-good back. She’s ready to feel better, too. Being sick isn’t fun, but it does always make you appreciate feeling well! One of Renae’s […]
Gifts and Gift Packaging
I’ve long loved gifts and gift packaging. It rather goes along with decor and homemaking in a way, I suppose. In both cases, I am putting together things I like or love and fixing them in a way that makes me smile. I’ve wished before that I could run a little gift packaging business. Not […]
Memoir Monday {No. 35}
Apparently the things around my home want to break down, but are, perhaps, a little scared of the mistress of the home? A little over a year ago we had trouble with our water well and had to spend money and deal with the hassle of having it replaced. Here’s the thing~it decided to go […]
Memoir Monday {No 31}
Our neighbors were gone a couple of weekends ago, so R&T fed a few animals and gathered eggs. It’s always fun to see how many eggs they collect and I always think they are so pretty! Birthday gifts! #funstuff #FunGiftIdeas I love to get gifts, I love to put gifts together and I love to […]
Memoir Monday {No. 27}
Hello to looking back at a week full of variety and busy! No surprise, since it is June and harvest and every year June and harvest bring busy! Every year is different in its own way, yet some things are the same too. The cycles and routines and rhythms of life and what we do. […]
Hello Mondays for a Year {hello monday}
Hello to {hello monday posts} for a year! This one makes fifty-two! I’ve enjoyed posting snippets of our week. It has broadened my thankfulness for the simple everyday things we do and shown me so many things I love about this life God has blessed me with. We are so, so ordinary and probably boring, […]

And Another Birthday Gift
I received yet another super fun birthday gift last week. I really like belated birthday gifts. How fun to be surprised with a birthday gift from two special friends. And I will have to say I was super-cali-fragi-listically excited about this one! Check it out! Really?! Isn’t this just a fantastically fun gift from […]
