The One when We Were on the ABC Sound of Music Special!

A couple weeks ago while I was in Denver, I returned to my hotel room after a long day of filming and saw I had a g-chat message from someone I didn't know: Seems a little sketchy right?

Someone needs to fix this travesty...) Each box includes...

Hello once again book nerds :) Today we're hosting our 8th Noble Paiges book discussion: BIG LITTLE LIES by Liane Moriarty. This is one of those books that I couldn't put down. So good.

The One with the Hand Stitched Layout

This is the first layout I've created "just for fun" in like 5 years! No assignment, no rules, no guidelines, it was simply made to pass the time on the airplane.  SAY CHEESE by Paige Evans Description: I needed something that would keep me occupied for 9 hours on my flight to Denver. Hand stitching takes a long time, so I went in search of a complicated background design that would take...

The One with So Far in Denver

Last Saturday I packed up two huge and heavy suitcases, kissed the kiddos goodbye (why does Jane look bigger than Fox here?) and drove 2.5 hours to the Frankfurt airport.  It was my first time flying out of Frankfurt and figuring it out all by myself was an adventure.
