We went to a friend's birthday party this past weekend and some how I managed to either get a bee sting or a spider bite while we were at the bar…inside….in October. Now this could only happen to me. It's just something people wouldn't really be surprised to hear. But man, did it hurt. Paige...

I just added a new card set for fall. Get them while leaves are still on the ground and falling from the trees or save them for next year! It can be ordered at SimplyWhimsical.com under the seasonal card sets. Take a look!

I have put some purses on sale on SimplyWhimsical.com. I only have a few up there right now, but more are in the making. I am only selling one of each at the moment. So if you want one that is for sale, buy it now! I will be adding different fabrics and new purses...

Yes, I am sure that is a strange thing to hear from me. I had a hand-me down sewing machine and I have been making some new things recently. So I got a new one the other day. This is the one I got. I am so very excited about it. I made this lovely...

Last weekend we went to a wedding for our friends Ben and Trisha. It was a beautiful ceremony and lots of fun was had by all. Here are a couple pictures. Congratulations Ben and Trisha Fisher!

I am a little behind in writing in here. A couple weekends ago we went to Bayfield to hang out on his dad's boat. Paige, her boyfriend, Brian and her friend, Paul came with. HERE is the gallery of the pictures from the trip. We went to Sand Island and looked at the sea caves...

We were busier than I had expected this weekend. Thursday we went to the fair after taping a video for Chuck's business. It was a lot of fun. Friday, Chuck went to the fair with Casey from ReconRobotics and was involved in a couple live news events with Channel 5. I went with and they...

We went to the fair yesterday. We were only there a short time because there isn't a whole lot I feel like I want to see. I just go for the food. That's the best part of the fair. But I am more than satisfied by going and staying for a couple hours and going...

Last weekend Paige and I went to New Ulm. She is doing her next bit of field work there and wanted to meet her supervisor. So we had a fun time….Shopping, eating WAY too much food and just wandering around the town. HERE are all the pictures I took there. On our way out of...

We've done a couple projects around the house recently. The first was a fence in the front of the house. You can see pictures HERE. The other one I can't take any credit for. Chuck did most of the work and Adam came over to help him. We put a wall in the basement as...

Flash Animations Fight Back This is really cute. It made me laugh, so I thought I should share.

My friend, Katie, invited me to a Stampin' Up! card making event last night. We made 6 cards. It was so much fun. They are a little more ornate than the ones I make, but I had a lot of fun. And I got a bunch of ideas on things I can do. These are...

* StumbleUpon * This is a great place to waste time. You pick topics and click 'stumble' and it finds different sites for you. You will have to have a browser that works with it and set up an account. It is well worth it. Enjoy wasting your time!

* Silly Kitten * This kitten chases things around on a MacBook Pro. Silly little kitten. They are so cute when they are small….Then they get bigger. No Macs were harmed in the making of this video…I don't think!

* Icon Wars * Watch the icons kill each other! It's hilarious.

* Fun Drawing Page * You can draw on the page. Be sure to click the mouse to change colors.
