Changes, Decisions and an Invitation

I love blogging. I really do. Having a blog has allowed new windows to open in my world and new friends to be found.

I've had many evenings, of late, where I've slapped my forehead and said, "I forgot to blog!".

My life has suddenly become quite full. The boys are getting older, I'm taking more leaps with Anna K. Originals, and now *gulp* I'm going back to college.

That's right. This over-thirty momma is going to college!

I'm almost finished with the application process to be accepted into the Art Institute of Pittsburgh's Online Digital Design program. It's a one year diploma program and I'm stoked about it, but nervous at the same time. Classes start very soon...

So, here's the thing. For the time being I think I'll be blogging exclusively over at my Anna K. Originals blog. I hope y'all will stop by and visit me....

After all, the welcome mat's always out over there, too!

Sweet Shot Tuesday


I happened to have my camera with me before my trio practice at church a week or two ago. I couldn't pass up the sunset scene that greeted me when I pulled into the parking lot. So out I ran around in the frigid wind snapping away and to tally blissed out about using my new lens ~ a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS. Hooray for Christmas and Birthday money!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm linking up with Darcy over at My 3 Boybarians for her
awesome Sweet Shot Tuesday event. Swing by and see all the talented entries....

Etsy Find {In Touch Clutch}

Every now and again I like to peruse the pages of Etsy. I like to see what's popular, what isn't, and what's new and interesting. I love that I never quite know what I'll find.

I stumbled across the In Touch Clutch from downstairsDesigns. Having a bent towards being unorganized, I'm always fascinated with easy to use items that save me a little stress and some time.

I saw the In Touch Clutch and I was hooked! I've always got papers that I'm trying to keep track of, notes that I want to write down before I forget or ideas that I need to jot down or draw. I could see myself using this beauty for my day-to-day business or even on a trip out of town.



I chose the pretty blue model that you see in the above photos. Y'all, I had a hard time choosing between the different accent fabrics! They run the gamut from having a vintage feel to more modern patterns...all of them in lovely colors. In addition to the In Touch Clutch, you can buy an In Touch Pouch for your iPhone/iPod, a Snap Pouch for your business/credit/gift cards, and even gift packs (think bridesmaids gifts).

My In Touch Clutch will be in the mail soon and I can't wait to get my hands on it! Thank you downstairsDesigns for creating such a pretty and practical way to make this mommy's life a little easier!
