What's On Your Mind Wednesday.
By Andrea-Bubblewrappd in crafts-diy , 31 minutes ago
{Picture courtesy of my Hubby} The smartest decision that I've made recently was to hire a part time baby-sitter for the summer.She came for the first time on Tuesday, and by the time her three hours were up, I wanted to just hug her.I got so much done.SO much.Plus, she wore them out, which meant early, easy bedtime....

A Month of Mail: day 23
By MIniature Rhino in crafts-diy , 52 minutes ago
I used to live next to a woman that bought and sold greeting cards. She once had a garage sale with boxes and boxes full of cards and postcards. That must have been over ten years ago, so I've been lugging a set of these cat postcards since then. I guess I thought they were to cute to part with, but living in a dark... Continue reading »

Free vintage printable images
By How about orange in crafts-diy , 1 hour ago
Vintage Printable is a fascinating (though difficult to browse) archive of vintage photos, illustrations, and page scans. Files vary in resolution and the usage restrictions are a bit murky; most state "image in the public domain believed to be free to use without restriction in the US." I wouldn't build a corporate...

Seashell Beach Blocks
By Crafts by Amanda in crafts-diy , 2 hours ago
There’s something about beach themed decor that makes me swoon. I’m not sure if it’s the muted colors of the sea or just the fact that anything beach related seems to invoke a calming sensation within me. Soft blues, greens and natural sand colors are among my favorites. Seashells are such a fun way... Continue reading »

Migraine. Can't think. Migraine. Drive to and from hospital to visit Mom. Migraine. Feed children. Migraine. Put Nick to bed. Migraine. Have nap. Migraine.

thing I like: iPhone external battery
By not martha in crafts-diy , 2 hours ago
Earlier this year I bought a backup battery for my iPhone at the airport on a snowy day right before I got on a plane. After the second hour of sitting on the runway (snow in Seattle creates havoc) I felt like I was a genius for getting the battery. It also saved my sanity during several hour long delays on the way... Continue reading »
