Send this instead of a Thank You Card.
This isn’t your average ‘Thanks!’ card. It pushes the limits of Rad. It’s the Rad-O-Meter at full throttle. Seriously. Which would you rather receive? This: Or this: I really hope you picked the first. The second makes me sad. Ugly things that could be pretty with a bit of attention make me sad. But that’s […]
You’ll never meet a rat with a better adventure than this one.
Sister Tayzia has a pet rat named baby. Ew. Whatever. Sister Tayzia left to Texas for a few years. Leaving lucky mom with pet rat. Sister Mitzi is very likely the MOST creative person I know. She’s around creative fourth graders all day. Sister Mitzi wanted to send sister Tayzia a cute package. So she […]
Is this my favorite graduation gift ever?
Yes! Because it’s cash … packaged uniquely. A money-lei. Why wasn’t this a thing when I got my bachelor’s degree? Does someone want to get me one even though I graduated forever ago? And seriously. Look how awesome my brother is getting his Master’s degree. Before he got to Dental School, he said, ‘meh, guess […]
Most epic response to a pop-up card. Ever.
My sister loves pop-up cards. It’s a recent discovery. So sometimes when I’m making cards, I make an extra pop-up one just for her. Like I did in January: Sent, forgotten. Then one day I received this in the mail: I laughed for a few hours. Seriously! I could not stop laughing. My baby just […]

I love my job.
I’m going to write about graphic design today, which is not exactly crafty in the traditional sense, but it is artsy and creative, which is kind of crafty (?), so bear with me. My paying gigs (WSU & ICE) are doing graphic design. I work with a team who does all the hard work: meet […]

My Clumsy Mom gets an Indestructible Recipe Book
My cute mom is a self-proclaimed klutz. As in, move so quickly, you accidentally throw the cook book in the oven with the meal, type-of-klutz. On the plus side, she gets many things done, quickly. Well, the cook book thing has happened more than once. And even when it doesn’t, it ends up looking like […]
How to get a 7-month old to write letters
We love sending hand-written letters to people! Only problem: my 7 month old baby is just not that great at it yet. Or maybe she is. She just needs a little help. What she is super great at, is knowing when my phone camera is on. It’s a skill, I’ll never understand. Anyway, we wanted […]
For those times when you are REALLY grateful.
Sometimes someone does something for you that is huge and super and wonderful, and it makes your life even more awesome. And when they do it, you want to tell them thanks, but that Hallmark card just ain’t gonna cut it. What do you do? I’ll tell you what you do. You make an expandable […]
Forest Animals – Check out the skunk fumes
As you may well know, I’m a sucker for every kind of craft. Okay, well, I’ve given up on scrap-booking, because, well, there just isn’t enough time to do every kind of craft. But lately I LOVE creating fabric patterns. I’ve done a zombie monster pillow and a baby alphabet career book. But my latest […]
