Do you have any tape?
As I shared in my last post, I spent a few days on Long Island, New York with a group of teenagers working on Hurricane Sandy relief projects. While preparing for the trip, I tried to think of ways I could use some of the relationships I’ve established through my blog to help. I didn’t […]
Hurricane Sandy Relief Day 1
I’m on Long Island, New York this weekend with a group from our church to help out another church that was devastated by Hurricane Sandy. The canals flooded, bringing 3 feet of dirty water and debris into their church building. The building doesn’t look too bad from the outside…it’s actually a very charming church and […]
Furniture Feature Friday – Jessica’s Favorites & a Link Party

They have an overwhelming amount of work that needs to be done still about seven months later. I brought my camera, so I’ll share some pictures of the work we’re doing. Before […]

Polenta & Veggie Stuffed Red Peppers

Now, I’ve never been a huge fan of peppers…until I overlooked the price tag and bought red, orange and yellow peppers. Oh my. They are sweet and delicious […]
Another “Crafternoon” & More Stuff for Lucketts
Back in August, I spent an afternoon crafting or a “crafternoon” with Emily… …and we made a herringbone cork board for her jewelry. (She’s such a cute, teeny-tiny thing, isn’t she?) Well, last week she asked if she could come over again. This time, she wanted to make a place for her sunglasses out of […]
