December cards and creative joy

four variations of the same JOY holiday card; one in green, two in red and green, one in blue and white

If card making is your hobby of choice, December is your Super Bowl. There is no shortage of ideas and inspiration. But there is pressure, because by now, people know you make cards. I usually make 12 or 13 cards…

The Mug Life Chose Me #6: Merry AF

a red mug with a white snowflake on it. It also says MERRY AF.

I don’t know where I purchased this seasonal beauty but the Merry AF message sealed the deal. We used this mug for coffee on Christmas Eve, and when inquiring nephews asked what the “AF” stood for, we had to improvise….

Friday 5: A fresh start

a hastily scrawn friday January 2 image done in MS paint.

Happy Friday! Today is National Cream Puff Day (they’re not bad) and National Buffet Day. Let’s talk about this. I LOVE a buffet and we really don’t have a lot of good buffets around. Or even middling buffets. Years ago…

Revisiting my 2025 Vision Board

a image of a bunch of photos pinned to a corkboard, in the middle is Vision Board 2025

Back in January, I succumbed to the woo that is vision boarding and … it mostly worked? Here’s a look at what happened and what didn’t. Photos of a new shower, an organized garage, and a bedroom with warm accents:…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
