sweetie pies ( plus a free valentine download )

I personally love that at this time of year, magazines and blogs are full of recipes and ideas for Valentine sweet treats. I love baking goodies for my sweetie but they almost always seem to focus on chocolate. Now don’t get me wrong; I love chocolate as much as the next gal, but when it [...]

greeting cards for men

In thinking about sending letters or cards, who out there also thinks about what stamp to use? When sending out a bill, I have to say I don’t think about it. I go straight for the roll of flag stamps. But when sending a birthday card or an invitation, I like to choose something that [...]

vintage cards: big eyed animals

memories of mom

With Mother’s Day only a few days away, we wanted to take a moment to remember our Mom. She passed away when we were still kids and not a day goes by that we don’t think about her.  She loved us and gave so much to us in the brief time we had together.  She [...]
