A check-in for our folks affected by the storm. We'd love to hear if you're ok. I've been thinking of and praying for you, who were in the storm's path. There was such a large swath covered by it...so many family and friends affected by it. I hope you are able to find all the help and...

I'm looking to get a cutting machine. I want precision cutting (not just sticker cuts) for digital elements as well as some of my sketches & paintings. I love making cards and folios for friends. I have a Big Shot, which I use alot, but I'd like to be able to use elements, from kits, as well...

Let's take a moment to think of one word (or one sentence) that comes to mind, first, when you read the words, "Breathe In." Mine would be, "Sunshine!" We had so much rain, in March, that April's sunshine has been a god-send and good for the soul, as I bask in the outside rays, while working...

Are you afraid of snakes, whether they are poisonous or not? I am terrified of ANY snake. I came home, from a doctor's appointment (where my blood pressure was extremely high) and I was getting something out of my little Mini Cooper back and I looked down and there was a "wiggle" out of the...

Since this is such an unusual and unprecedented Christmas, how are you all handling your Christmas meals? Are you going to still have a large Christmas meal or have you toned down because of the inability to gather together? It's just me, but it's so hard to think of not cooking for my...

Just curious if your part of the world is participating in Halloween events, this year. Has your community come up with any alternatives to Trick or Treating? Around here, they've had some neighborhood app discussions regarding the kids. Some neighborhoods are planning on delivering candies...

Let's dream ... and have a day's digital adventure ... What would your day look like? If you could drop-in to ANY of our designer's digital kits, for a day's visit, what kind would it be? I'd love to transported into some fantasy kits. I'd love to float in one of Lorie's leaf boats (with...

Quick ... who is the first person to pop into your head today? For me, it's my mother. She was loved by everyone. I saw her for her strength in kindness. I NEVER heard my mother say anything derogatory about anyone. She had many differences but she allowed others to state their opinions and...

I was sitting in bed this morning, playing my morning daily puzzles and all of a sudden the bed started to shake. I thought, oh geez, something shifted in the bedside table and pressed the vibrate button on my bed remote. Nope, it was not that. I jumped up to see if a big truck was idling in...

Help! I need a great tasting recipe for using fresh corn. I went to the huge local farmers market and got 5 dozen ears of organic corn. What was I thinking? :) I've shucked it, blanched it and put in the freezer. Now, I need some recipes for eating it. I could find some recipes online, but I'd...

Has anyone had issues, after doing the latest update, with Photoshop2020? Whenever I move an element, it leaves a ghosting of that element and you can't click on it so it takes forever to get rid of it. Only after I add another element does that one disappear and then it starts all over when...

I'm starting a 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle this evening. When you put a puzzle together, do you put together the framing first or how do you begin? I pick each individual puzzle piece out of the box and find the edge pieces but I also put alike colors together. When my daughters were here, last...

As we have all been locked down for so long, are there any lessons you have gleaned or any new insights you've learned about yourself, (or others) while stranded at home? Here are just a few things I've learned about myself: People are kinder & meaner than I thought. I am even...

Have you seen or heard any funny business signs around your area? We have several businesses that keep us entertained, as we drive by. This was on my veterinarian's sign yesterday."Why are dogs such bad dancers? Because they have two left feet & they paws a lot in-between songs" :) What's...

Has anyone ever printed digital elements on clear sticker labels? If so, how did they turn out? I don't want to purchase the labels if they don't work well. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone use your digital kits and products to make a journal or junk journal? I've just finished my first junk journal and I loved using my digital products to construct it. I've found that incorporating digital printouts, sketching, painting, etc gives me so much joy in bringing the...

Did you participate in National Wear Red Day, which is for raising awareness about heart disease? Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S.. Know your risk and protect your heart! I didn't get out today, because of local flooding, but I did dress up in red. Heart Health is so...

Happy Weekend! Are you a template lover or do you rather go free-style? Honestly, I struggle with templates but I am on a mission to overcome my fear of them. :) I am a messy layout person so the formal template is intimidating to me. A template reformer I am going to become, though. haha

Welcome to 2020. It's nice having a new slate of a new year and a new decade. Does anyone have any new goals, challenges, resolutions or word of the year? My challengel is to be more persistent, passionate and purposeful in relationships and creativity! I need to come out of my shell more...

Now that Halloween is over do you start listening to Holiday Music or do you wait? I start listening to Christmas tunes starting today. haha I get lots of push back but its my life and I live alone, so I can listen to it if I want. :)
