Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy your visit.


When I first set up this blog I called it Life Keeps Surprising Me but, since it has now become more about papercrafting, I changed the name to be more reflective of what is going on here.

I am so appreciative of those who have elected to follow my blog and I love to read comments that have been left here for me.

Thanks so much for dropping by.

It finally arrived!!

     I have been waiting (not so patiently) for the Once Upon A Princess Cricut cartridge to arrive. I pre-ordered it back in November. Well it arrived today! I think I'll cut out some crowns to take with me when we go to GA Thursday. We'll be watching Abi and Molly while our d-i-l chaperons a field trip with Emily. I've cut some Easter baskets from the Easter solutions cartridge and I'll take along some stuff to decorate the baskets. Now I can bring the crowns and they can decorate them also. Molly loves to do "arps and craps" as she calls it. I am looking forward to playing around with this cartridge later today and tomorrow.

Here is a card I made using the Straight From The Nest cartridge.
Here are a couple of layouts I did this past weekend. The second one features my paternal grandparents in photos taken almost 100 years ago. I scanned and printed the crocheted doily onto cardstock and then cut around each flower.

    You've been busy! Your card rocks, but your layout w/ crocheted circles on it is wicked cool. Did you crochet it or did you buy it at a store? I bet it was hard to use it. It's so pretty!
