Anthro Inspiration – Paint by Numbers I made a quick trip home to Boston to see Cher with friends. She gave an amazing performance and entertained the crowd with lots of energy. I bought the ticket months ago before I knew we were moving. It wasn’t the best timing. We were in our new house for a week and I… Read More
I love you a bushel and a peck. My mom used to sing this sweet song to my siblings and I as kids, and we in turn sing it to our kids and grandkids. You can download this free printable here. The background is transparent, so you can print it on any color paper you like. It is shown on white paper…. Read More
This weekend I went to Cleveland for a house hunting trip. We didn’t have much luck, but we learned a lot about the area and ate well. I didn’t even take one picture. I brought my camera and never once used it, so I don’t have any pictures to show you from my trip. What I do have to show you is… Read More

I have never been a big fan of Halloween. Oh sure as a kid I loved getting candy, but I never liked dressing in costume and going out at night. All the other kids were running around squealing. I was scared and holding onto my dad’s hand for dear life. Go figure. As a result, I have never done a lot of decorating for Halloween. We… Read More
Last weekend, I hosted a girls night out – paint party at my house. I guess it’s a girls night in when it’s at your house. I got the idea after seeing an add for one at a local restaurant. It sounded like so much fun. My friends and I were thinking of trying it out. Then I saw Jennifer Rizzo’s post… Read More

My 79 year old mother (Don’t tell her I told you her age. Okay?), recently took a one night watercolor art class. She came home with this leaf painting. She told me they served wine and hors d’oeuves. She went with a friend. She said they had fun. When I was babysitting my two year old grandson, he made this picture for me. It’s a bunch… Read More
Paint by Number Wall Update I recently found a few more paint by numbers on Etsy (one of my fav places to look for them). They were not framed. I thought it would be easy to find inexpensive oak frames, but I couldn’t find them anywhere. Well, what I mean by anywhere is Walmart or Target. I thought about hanging them… Read More
