Every year since Sandy Hook the number of mass shootings has gone up and up. While not all of them take place in schools, way too many do. Legislation to curb the violence is beginning to feel like a pipe dream - as is any practical solution. Meanwhile, the center of my universe continues to hurtle toward the age where getting onto a school bus should be perfectly normal.

Saturday, July 21, 2012. I want to share a picture of some cute gift bags. The Stampin Up convention was held this week and Sherrill Graff, of Late Night Stampers Group, sent pictures of some of the projects everyone made. Adorable! Links to this post. Friday, February 17, 2012. I finally finished the tutorial for the craft apron. I hope you enjoy it! Sew one pocket to the other and then both to the apron.
