• Using Presets on the Eiffel Tower

  

  I’ve just returned from a fantastic girls trip to France. After spending 4-1/2 days in Paris, we headed to the South of France where we spent a few more days exploring before heading back home. I’ve been friends with most of my travel companions for over 20 years. I’m so lucky to have friends like…

• Scrapbooking Heritage Photos {Feeling Crafty}

  

  My beautiful grandmother was ahead of her times. In the ’50’s / ’60’s she was an entrepreneur–owning and operating a beauty salon. She was fierce–a divorcee with 2 kids who fell in love again and married my very handsome, romantic and loving Vivi (the best grandfather a girl could’ve ever wanted!). She was mother to…

• Little Italy Mercato {Photo Fridays}

  

  I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t frequent local farmer’s markets nearly as often as I should. When I do make the time, I love being there. The fresh produce, the fresh air, the fresh faces; it’s all so fresh : ) And I haven’t even begun to point out the amazing hand-crafted goodies…

• Doctored Note Cards and Journal {Feeling Crafty}

  

  For many years, pretty stationary was my addiction. I always had the greatest intentions to write notes to friends and family. But even with such great intentions, I have to admit, not very many were actually ever sent out. As such, I have a huge box of unused note cards, journals and notepads. So what’s…

• Fill Flash {Photo Fridays}

  

  These three little cutie pies were the best of buddies in pre-school. Totally inseparable. Totally girly. Totally adorable! During the summer months, the three of us mom’s took turns hosting playdates for the girls. It was great for the girls to bond, and equally important as it gave the drop-off moms a couple hours to get…

• Paper, Crafts, Layouts, Tags {Photo Fridays}

  

  Yes, I really am doing a post on my blog, about a layout, about my blog! Silly, but I really want to offer my fellow crafters some tips on photographing layouts for online posting. I created the page and took these photos early February, but haven’t had the opportunity to share them, so here we…
