Hopefully I’ll be done with my progesterone soon and perhaps that will help. Next week I have my first prenatal appointment (the doctor won’t see me until [...]

I was perplexed to see that I had nearly 400 hits last week on a day that I didn’t post anything particularly amazing, so I went looking at my site meter to see if I could figure out why. It turns out someone put up this great little page full of neat stuff to make [...]

This neat page has tons of printable templates for custom cards, envelopes and boxes. From a pyramid box to a heart basket to a library card pocket to a money holder to a milk carton box to a 3-D flower card and lots more. These would be great for lapbooking!
