everyday life: how does this happen???
so often i find myself wishing that a day will pass quickly, or a week, or on a tuesday that a weekend will hurry up and arrive. i forget that while i am being so impatient and wishing for days and years to fly by so i can get on with something else...

Everyday Life: Homemade Jewelry
Ash is a crafter by nature. (gee, I wonder where she gets it???) For Christmas I bought her a 12×12 pink plastic scrapbook storage box, filled it with some of my old papers, stickers, flowers, ribbon, envelopes, a pair of child safe scissors, and some glue sticks. She has been in hog heaven ever since.
She...
