This is My Happy Place

How many of you have a happy place?  Come on and admit it, we all have one.  It might be under a shaddy tree in your back yard sipping a tall, cold glass of lemonade.  Or perhaps on a lazyboy chair in the corner of your living room reading the most recent issue of your favorite […]

Change

is my word for the year.  This is not something new.  I have written a lot about it.  About taking that new path, stepping out in faith, and trying to understand, accept, and embrace the changes that life hands us.
This time, the change is big.  For all of us here at Fiskateers.
Now, before you get […]

Part 2: 1 Event, 3 Projects

Anyway…  it was one of those layouts that I knew I needed to do, […]

Pink paper and my boys…

I love how people are always surprised when they see me doing something not super boyish on a layout of my boys.
Who says you can’t use flowers, even pink, when scrapping boys?  The great thing about creating is - there are no rules! 
So, as I was scrapping on Saturday, I was going back and filling […]
