Today is November, 30 – which marks the end of NaBloPoMo. I really enjoyed NaBloPoMo again and I almost kind of sad that it’s over. There are still some posts sitting in my draft folder, but don’t you worry, those posts will be finished and published some time in the near future. I guess, it’s…
Well, finally. Finally, I can bare the Christmas music that has been playing at every store… oh, only since the day after Halloween!… and I can finally start thinking about Christmas. Is it just me, or does it feel like the Christmas season is starting earlier every year? At least, here in the US, you…
Do you think I might have a bit of an obsession? Most of those are from the $1-bin at Michaels. I LOVE their great bargains on stamps. I spent the whole afternoon crafting with my friend S again and it feels so good to be creative. I think, I finally got my mojo back :)
J and I had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday. We slept in and spent most of the day at home, drinking hot tea and anticipating our dinner.

Today is a good day to reflect on all the good things in my life. I am thankful for my loving husband. I am thankful for my supportive, loving family (only an ocean away). I am thankful for a sister that is not only my sister, but my best friend. I am thankful for visits…
This morning, my sister called me at the office @ 7 a.m. She never calls me at the office that early, and I knew something must have happened. She told me that our Granddad was a the hospital, that he had suffered a mild stroke last night that had impacted his language center in the…
Can you believe it? Christmas is only a month away and since I am planning to do my annual Christmas Card Exchange, I think it’s high time to get started on that. I am sending out real paper Christmas cards again this year and yes, I am not even kidding. I still think taking the…
Well, I could have sworn I wrote a blog post about the great news that my sister is having a little boy! Apparently, that must have been only in my dreams or something, according to all the ‘surprised’ comments on my last post! I am sorry I obviously didn’t pass on this absolutely fantastic news….
Do you remember this post, when I was complaining about having a creative urge, but no time or patience to sit down and actually do something crafty? Well, turns out my inner “crafting” ego was just waiting for the holiday season to come around. It also helped to find someone (aka my friend S) who…
I want a cat. I’ve always wanted a cat, but after last night I really want one bad. My sister and I never had a pet when we were little and the first thing my sister did after she had finished College was to get a cat. As for me, I have moved around too…
