Halloween Heaven

Well, Owen has fallen in love with Halloween… it is official!  Last year, he went trick or treating, but didn’t really get it.  This year he did.  He would sneak up to a door, say “shhhh,” then either knock or ring the bell.  While waiting we would prep him to say Trick or Treat, only […]

Happy Halloween!!!

 Note: this collage has E’s trick or treat bucket, our candy to give out, and the cupcakes I made for today.
It’s official. I’m a nut. (as if you didn’t already know that!) Stephenie wrote about being ‘in the zone’ and I have to tell you all that I was there most of the night. From […]

The “Zone”

Do you ever get into the “zone”?  You start working and lose all track of time and space… years could pass and you will have not eaten, gone to the bathroom, smelled the fire in the kitchen, seen your family, or spoken one word aloud?  I did that tonight.  I started working on another mini-book […]

more treat than trick.

 I love the haunted mansion at Disneyland… especially at Halloween. They decorate it up with Nightmare before Christmas goodies, and it’s WAAAAY cool. That’s my idea of fun-scary. Things that are creepy but not hair raising or truly scary. Even little Miss E LOVED all the decorations and ghosts, and it reminded me that I love things that are […]

A Beautiful Day…

Do you ever have those days that you wish you could hang onto forever?  They are nothing special - not major events or anything, but they are perfect in every way…
We had one of those today.  The boys stayed in bed longer than expected with the roll back for daylight savings time.  We had pancakes […]

Creating an album.

Normally when I scrapbook I’m just thinking about the page/photos at hand. I don’t think about the big picture and the album that the page will eventually become a part of because I don’t scrap in any order, so my albums are open ended projects.
However, once in a rare while I know I want a complete, coherent […]

~ 4-1-1 ~

4 - 1 - 1 . . . it’s the number you call when you need some
information or a telephone number. It’s a plethora of info.  . . . the lowdown . . . the know how.
It’s also the number of a special Fiskateer . . . Rebecca Peck.
Rebecca Peck is a fairly new Fiskateer […]

The Mini-Book thing…

Some of you are well versed in creating beautiful and amazing mini-books.  Others of you are scared and find it daunting…  until recently, it was something I had NEVER done.  The closest thing to a mini-book I had ever done was an 8×8 vacation album (for a 12×12 scrapper, 8×8 IS mini…)  Anyway, thanks to […]

On a break.

So… I’ve been quiet for 5 days now. Reason? I’ve been in Disneyland having a BLAST experiencing it for the first time as a mommy. We had way too much fun and I’ll talk more about it once the 500+ photos are all downloaded, uploaded, re-sized, etc. For now I’ll just say that it was […]
