European trip musings #3: After wrangling the rental car into a space in the parking garage, we set off to see some of Lucerne on foot. Being raised in the suburbs, cities, especially old ones, fascinate me. I always love the architecture of the buildings, and Lucerne was my first glimpse of what lay ahead... Continue Reading →
European Trip #2: Lucerne, Switzerland
European trip musings #2: Here are some pics of Lucerne from the car. We stopped by Lucerne after landing in Zurich, on our way to Sion, Switzerland. This was also our first experience of finding (and navigating) a parking space. Parking garages in Europe seem to be largely underground. Something us Floridians are not used... Continue Reading →
Craft Room: Window Treatment
It definitely does not account for any privacy, but I think it is a super cute idea! Using paint buckets, along with colored tulle fabric, this window treatment gives the effect of paint being poured out of the buckets. This makes a whimsical window treatment for any craft room!

European Trip #1: Flight on Edelweiss
European trip musings #1: We booked this trip back in March. Tampa International had just started direct flights from Tampa to Zurich with Edelweiss operating under Swiss International. We booked airfare for $593pp round trip and direct, which is AMAZING. General international airfare is on the average of $1200pp. Flight accommodations in economy were superb.... Continue Reading →
Snowman (Shaker) Card
I love unique cards, and I also love shaker cards. What prompted me to save the photo of this card was the circle cutouts that contained stamped images. The bonus was that the largest cutout was a shaker accent. I think the coloring on this card is also fabulous, as it is just enough as... Continue Reading →
Packers vs Giants, 2023
In December 2023, my bf suggested a very spontaneous trip to see the Green Bay Packers play the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, in New Jersey. I was super excited…thinking of all the things I was going to see as we traveled to “New York”. Hmmmm…failing to realize that the game was in NJ,... Continue Reading →
WDW Essential: Frozen Strawberry Lemonade
A must for every time I visit a WDW park is a Minute Maid Frozen Strawberry Lemonade. These are such a refreshing treat, especially on hot days (of which there are many). The trick is, finding the strawberry flavor. All of the refreshment kiosks/carts in the parks offer the lemonade flavor, but only a select... Continue Reading →
Craft Room: Shelves
Shelving in the craft room is an absolute must, if possible. Especially if you have a large (and varied!) craft supply collection. The shelving in this photo is simple, and adorned with different sized containers for organization. I especially love what the creator did with the drawer organizer; where the drawers are different colors. Baskets,... Continue Reading →
Mickey Ear Balloons Necklace
I purchased the BaubleBar Disney Parks Mickey Ears Balloon necklace a little bit ago while visiting one of the Disney parks. I believe that it was purchased in Magic Kingdom, but it has been so long that I really can’t remember. This was the first time that I wore it; partially because I couldn’t find... Continue Reading →
Craft Room: IKEA Inspiration
I have used IKEA pieces in my home for years. One of my favorite pieces to use in my craft room is the Kallax shelving unit, that replaced the Expedit. These storage cubes are wonderful because you can purchase and add doors, drawers, and shelves, to add to the individual cubes to maximize your storage... Continue Reading →
