How many times have I gone to the grocery store and forgotten my shopping list or coupons! Take a look at this clever brown paper bag shopping tote ! I just might make one to keep my coupons in!

I was so disappointed when Victoria Magazine informed me that they would no longer be publishing this charming magazine. But, when I learned that they were indeed back in business - I was so excited. This is such a beautiful and lovely magazine to sit back with a cup of coffee and enjoy the beauty of it. I would encourage you to take a look at Victoria when the first issue comes out soon.

Finished! It's ready to give to Karen for her birthday tomorrow. I hope she likes it. I have made so many of these aprons but never one in this fabric - it's an original. I used a blue print on the reverse and a small print for the apron strings and pocket.

My friend, Patricia, has a new addition to her jewelry line. You have to see it. It's an espresso bracelet . I love it!

I was just reading about the Invisible Mom at Creative Outlet Design and it was encouraging and inspiring. When you have a moment you should read it. Sometimes I do feel a bit invisible. Sometimes it's selfish and sometimes it's a lack of focus and forgetting to love as Christ loved. When you really want to love your family - you desire to serve them the best way you know how regardless if they notice or not.

The first day of school; a milestone when you are beginning your senior year in high school and this year my daughter's got her car and her license! When I think about the term "milestones", I wonder where that came from? I picture small stones set along the road at one mile intervals, marking the progress of the journey. Yep, this year is a milestone. What's the story behind the phrase "milestone?" Does anyone know?
