Starting To Really Love Baking
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. ~ Albert Einstein So I got a bread machine, and with 2 successful loaves so far i’m hooked. Blog post on that later. This weekend, and yes on a bit of a whim, we decided to make a small raised garden to try to […]
Framing Pressed Flowers
I found these great looking, modern frames at a local thrift store for 5 dollars a piece. Before I found them i was trying to figure out what to hang in my bedroom to freshen it up a bit when i found these frames. These are at least more than 6 months old and I […]

Hello 2021! So my first post of this year is to share another idea of how we were able to wrap a beer gift for a family member for Christmas 2020 and we are pretty proud of it! It was my nephew’s pollyanna and his girlfriend came up with the idea which was a funny […]
My First Macrame Plant Holder
Growing up in the 80’s, my sister did all kinds of macrame. One special one that she made a lot for people was a macrame Santa Claus face with a long beard that she brushed out. In all my years of crafting I never ever tried macrame for some reason. Well, recently YouTube has been […]
Funko Pop Character Display Shelves
I decided this year I’d work on a display solution for my Funko Pop Characters. This just wasn’t cutting it! Before Make Shelves Out of Foam Core Board I saw on epbot.com a tutorial for making pop character shelves that I just thought would be the perfect solution to still be able to use my […]

No expectations just nice little treats for each other I think as a nice little surprise. However, this year I’d like to […]
Meet and Greets Are Awkward
I guess for some people meet and greets are not awkward but for me this one in hindsight just was and is one of the ways to describe it….and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world! Lemme’ explain. My niece made these spontaneous plans to go to Hershey Theater for ‘A conversation with John […]

My New Low Carb Lifestyle
Diet IS a frame of mind and a lifestyle change that simply will NOT work for you if that little switch doesnt flip in your brain to follow through. My switch officially happened about a week and a half ago. I started reading about keto and low carb eating and it started to click for […]
Money Gift Idea: Money to burn
Had a last minute idea for this money gift I had for my nephews birthday today. Luckily my mom rolls her own cigarettes and she was nice enough to spare a few and an empty actual pack to put them in. Here is how I did it. First i noticed the filters were pretty long […]
Beginning a minimalist journey
I caught a bug in the beginning of this year. A cleaning and decluttering bug to simplify my life and belongings. One of my resolutions was that ‘2018 is going to be the year of the purge’. Well, then yard sale season started to hit in the summer months and that notion kinda went out […]
Backyard Wildflowers
In the spring, we got 2 big bags of wildflower seeds. I LOVE wildflowers and the surprise of what would actually grow sounded fun to me…so there were two places in our backyard that didnt’ really have anything else going on there, and what sprang up a few weeks later was exciting to say the […]
Celebrating Autumn
Nature photos are basically what I have the most access too simply because of my geography. Analyzing it, there isn’t anything wrong with it…not everyone visits often or lives in a big city like New York where street photography is prevalent. So since Pennsylvania is where I’m ‘planted’, I’ll take advantage and document the scenery in my […]
A Hike Through The Woods
I love the ‘idea’ and the ‘theory’ of hikes through the woods…but tick phobias sure can get the best of us can’t they? This time however, I bit the bullet and went along with family and I’m glad I did. A weekend ago i took a trek into the woods and came across quite […]
Park Excursion
Getting better at not choosing laziness…I enjoyed a short excursion to the park with the kiddo to get some fresh air which yielded some good things photography-wise today. Also trying out some photoshop filters and color enhancements on my photos today which is different for me. Lesson of the day: Laziness will get you nowhere.
Long Bike Rides Are Possible With THIS Bicycle Seat!
My kiddo loves to ride his bike. He just recently learned how to ride a bike without the training wheels. No trial and error or anything…he just went and got it! So i’m glad a couple years ago i found and bought a nice bike at a yard sale which was in great condition but the […]
I love my Nikon camera
I’m convinced there is ‘never’ a good time to buy any sort of electronics. As soon as you buy something, something else will be put on the market that is better or has new features that you’ll wish you had. I’ve always had that happen to me. One day i decided to bite the bullet […]
