  Well not quite Literally… but man! It burns! Why you ask? Because Mule made some of his delicious queso! He likes it spicy and my spice tolerance is a –3 compared to his +11 on a scale of 1 to 10. So we compromise at about a 4. He adds more seasoning to his own little bowl and I make sure to have … [Read more...]

  This weekend was full of Firsts! Some Amazing and some down right awkward! It all started a couple of weeks ago on Craigslist. At least once a week I scroll through local ads for photography/event opportunities. I came across one that sounded interesting asking for local photographers to work for … [Read more...]

  Having recently moved to Texas, I am not quite in the habit of getting birthday cards and presents out in time. I’m the oldest of 6, and next is my sister Sherri. We were only 14 months apart, and grew up being the best of friends. Life has taken us to different places, but she is still the one … [Read more...]

Lots of crafting, sewing, and creating for the Christmas craft shows and markets I have coming up, as well as some photography and editing that I got to do :) I love being busy, and I love helping other people, but sometimes I need to do a project that’s … [Read more...]

Top of my list is a Christmas lap quilt, but right after that is Ornaments! Course that means that I’ll need a tree. Since … [Read more...]

  I think one of the best things Mule has ever spent money on was an electric rotisserie. Seriously! We use it at least once a week. We’ve done fish and chicken. I’m thinking a chunk of beef might be good in there too! The rotisserie makes cooking a chicken so easy. The best one yet has been the one … [Read more...]

  I’m so excited I’m jumping up and down! Well almost jumping up and down… more like bouncing in my chair :) Mindie over at Bacon Time with the Hungry Hippo is hosting a giveaway today, and I am one over the GIVERS :) This is my very first giveaway and I am so excited! I’m giving away a $20 credit … [Read more...]

  That is the question… Etsy has recently made some changes and they now allow you one shot at changing your shop name.  I’d been wishing that this was an option, and now it is! But do I want to change? What would I change it to? I love all the cute shop names like CaitCreate, SeasonsofWool and … [Read more...]

  So lately I’ve been struggling… I love pinterest, but I hate it at the same time! With Christmas, my wedding, several craft shows and markets to get ready for, as well as photo shoots booked, I have a billion and 3 things to do! And yet I find myself  spending HOURS pinning away. There are so … [Read more...]

  As a family friendly alternative to Halloween, my church hosts a fall festival even each year. The kids (and even some parents) get to dress up, play games, eat a ton of sugar and take home a ton of candy. They were looking for volunteers to help make cupcakes for the kids, and I of course offered … [Read more...]
