Cards and Scrapbook Pages I Made in March (2025)

I had only made 2 cards in March for my card chain challenge group and then just yesterday I sat down and whipped up 4 more (they reverse loaded so the top 4 cards are the newest)! I have been hard at work on my Hawaii scrapbook pages though and I am officially more than 1/2 way done with our trip!

    I am missing the craft gene in my body, but I love looking at what others do. The cards are really pretty!

    Your cards never cease to amaze me. Anyone who receives one is very lucky. You are so smart to quickly create the pages for your scrapbooks for vacations. I always think I’ll remember what something was and when it happened. I’m almost always wrong!

      I do have a crafting desk that I work on but right now it's set up in a corner of our bedroom. I used to have my own room just for crafts but I had to give that up years ago.

    Love seeing more of your Hawiian vacation scrapbooked. Your pages are so special. The bright colors really pop. I am working on pages from my sister's last visit to my house. We ate several dinners at Mexican restaurants but I don't have a single Mexican-flavored sheet of paper. I need to fix that ASAP.
    Your cards are lovely, too. My favorite is the first one because the colors are kind of unexpected for Easter. I like the little brads or gems you used in the circle. I have so many tiny brads and never think to use them. Maybe I can jazz up my current project with some brads??

      I'm rather surprised you don't have any Mexican themed/flavored/colored papers! I have lots and lots of brads and beads and I'm not the greatest at remembering to use them either though I do try to add something 3-d to each card so I'm getting better at checking to see what I had on hand.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Share 4 Somethings in March 2025

Image
  The prompts for the entire year will be the same each month—some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of.  Some things I've loved: We loved our time at the orchid show; it was so nice and warm and sunny in the greenhouses and the flowers were so pretty.  We all LOVED Ovo so much! It was a fabulous show! Evan and I loved our day trip to the aquarium (even if we did wish it had lasted longer; it seems like the exhibits keep shrinking year after year). Some things I've learned: I learned some new recipes we learned so much about so many species of orchids at the show Some things that went well: The ice and snow have melted so we've had some great hikes; many of them with friends! Thompson Dam Cedar swamp trail Lime rock preserve Some things I let go of: I cleaned out my closet a bit more and donated 2 bags of clothes; mostly winter stuff that I haven't worn all season. Linking up with: Final Fridays, Spread the K...

Hodgepodge Wednesdays: Let's Talk Italy

Image
 Hey, look at me finally remembering to write up a Hodgepodge Wednesday post! This week Joyce came up with some fun questions to answer.   1. March 15th is known as The Ides of March, the date on which Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 B.C....have you ever been to Rome? If so what did you love most about the city? If not, is this a place you'd like to visit?  Nope, I've never been but I wouldn't turn down a trip if someone was offering! It's not first on my Italy bucket list though.. I've always wanted to visit Venice, Portfino & Capri.  *photos courtesy of Pixabay: 2. ' Rome wasn't built in a day.'  What project/activity/improvement (of any kind) do you have going on right now to which this saying might be applied?  Probably the scrapbooking of our Hawaii trip; I know it's already been a few months since we've been home but I'm only 1/2 way through!  3. Let's do a little this or that with some Italian foods... Caprese salad or...

Encouraging Hearts and Home: Focusing on Gratitude

Image
A few years in a row I participated in a Thankful challenge on social media where we posted one thing we were thankful for each day of November complete with a quick photo or image and it really stuck with me.  I started encouraging my boys to think of November as gratitude month as well.  I'm sad to say we've gotten away from this habit as they've gotten older but I still try to keep the whole family focused on being thankful for all the blessings we've been given in this life.  This week's features are all from last week's party and have to do with gratitude and being thankful.  And Now, It's Time for This Week's Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!     Join your Encouraging Hearts & Home Co-Hosts each week for encouragement and support for your heart & your home . We hope to provide a space that builds each other up and lends a helping hand along the way. With all the negativity in the world, let's shine a positive light! Some o...
