I met my husband on a blind date. He planned a pretty safe bet for the evening, taking me to dinner and a movie. Nineteen years later, we still go on dates and still love going to movies…and plays…and concerts! And being the sweet, sentimental guy that he is, I’m pretty sure he has saved…
Do you like making personalized cards to send to your family and friends? I do! And when you own a Silhouette, there’s virtually no end to the creative possibilities. One example is this beautiful decorative edge card that I created in Silhouette Studio. It’s perfect for birthdays, Mother’s Day, thank-you cards, get-well wishes, or just…
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and if your mom is anything like mine, she much prefers a handmade gift or card over anything I could buy in a store. And you know I’m going to try to use my Silhouette any way I can! Many of the projects I’ve shared before on the…

I am blessed with a wonderful mother! She’s always giving of herself and asking very little in return. So when she mentioned that what she’d really like for Mother’s Day was for me to help her clean up and organize her sewing room, I jumped at the chance. I love organization almost as much as…
When my oldest son was in preschool I remember his teacher commenting that May is always a busy month. Being young, naïve, and the mother of only one child (whose birthday is in December), I thought to myself “what is she talking about?” Fast-forward almost 25 years and I’m definitely older, hopefully wiser, have two…
