This is regarding the man on the sex offenders registry that has been terrorizing our kids here in Maine taking pictures of them and then posting them on his social sites with crude and disgusting remarks. This man thinks sex with children should be legal!!!! We need help tightening the leash on these guys and not allowing things like this to happen. The police say they can do nothing because of his rights to photograph anyone in public.

Unused Vertical space is a great way to store more while taking less of your valuable tablespace. You can store double the craft supplies by going up, instead of out! My craft studio is a shed, so I have very limited space when it comes to storing my massive craft supply collection. I’ve found Vertical […]

Again, for the first time….


the people who have been reading me since the beginning of 2017 have probably got tired of the phrase,“For the first time!” I have had so many I can’t count them all and I thought that had to be it but I never should have doubted my husband. So , once again, for the first time in so long I can’t remember, I was so wrapped up in my family and what they were doing around me that I didn’t take one picture!!! Now I have always over done it with the pictures, like, taking fifty pictures of my grandkids playing in the snow. Always have had pictures of the boys opening stuff and reactions but not this year. I can’t even believe it!! And , yes, another!!! My husband made all of xmas dinner himself. Never before have I not done it myself, I am not talking about just doing the potatoes or opening all the cans kind of thing, but from the ham to the pumpkin pie, he did it all and I didn’t get any pictures!!!!! It was great, everything came out just right. Once again he has out done himself.

Couple sticks….


I haven’t shared any of the things I have been making much so I am putting some together. Two things Maine has plenty of are sticks and pine cones. They are naturally pretty and FREE! We had left over birch branches from the wedding things and I wanted to use them for something creative.  The lighted branches was one of the centerpieces from our wedding and I just jazzed up a bit.  I am going to make another twig wreath but with a mirror in the middle , it won’t be a snowflake but I think I will still like it.

More to come, always!!

Magic Tracks Scam!


We wanted to order these for the grandkids and thought this seemed like a good deal, but, I unchecked the box for the extensions but got charged anyway, then to get it by Christmas it was another 6.99. Now on the site it says may not arrive by Xmas but didn’t before. It’s a 50 waste of money when you can just go to Walmart and pay less for two packs.

Don’t fall for it!!

Blogmas: Day 10 Sometimes our surroundings look so depressing that we need a change. With so much happening in life both personal and professional, it becomes difficult to care about the space we are living in. I have heard somewhere that all living spaces reflect our state of mind and today I am going to […]

Bouquet preservation


I made my wedding bouquet as some of you know, using latex Cali Lilly, leaf vines and other things, in a teardrop swag style.

So then the question was how do I keep it dust free , ready Incase I decide to use it again or simply because I want to keep it.

In all the websites it talks about fresh flowers or says just hang in sight to be dusted regularly. Dust??? Nope. Now I looked for a bag big enough and clear that I could use but didn’t find one. I needed to move it for Xmas so I got a little creative. I could and should have waited for help instead of trying to do it all one handed but I took out my kitchen Saran Wrap and started wrapping , trying not to get it to tight to squish anything. My son said it looks like a mummy.

Ignore the mess in the background, my duster on the floor, I tend to do three or four things at once.

Wall stickers, NOT!


Bought these at Michaels craft store and thought what a help these will be decorating the house for Xmas, nope. I haven’t got the regular year round decor up yet so I have tons of space.  These things do not stay stuck on the walls! I had to use scotch tape to keep them up , the words even don’t stay. On the bend that was made from being folded in the box keeps popping up, it’s horrible. I DO NOT recommend buying these!!!image.jpg
