All together I sent off 79 fat quarters, and in exchange I get 75 different fat quarters back. Here is where the math comes in. Last [...]

The kids are thinking about having me checked out by a specialist in mental health, because the mail arrives and I’m squeeling, and jumping up and down, and grabbing at packages, and just generally acting like a ninny! Here’s why – these are the Big Miss Sunshine’s I referred to yesterday. Gals that just radiate [...]

Mushroom photo for The Food Group. This is the real thing. Below is the creative interpretation of a mushroom that arrived yesterday in my mail box! It is from Kitschy in the UK. I love it and honestly it is one of my favorites from the Toadstool Swap group. You can tell just by looking at it [...]
About
Jackie
I'm a human being, sometimes fumbling through life, but more often amazed by the great glorious adventure that it is. If you want labels - I'm a stay at home mom, a tree hugger, a tightwad, a wife, a nerd, a jogger, a bookworm, a creative soul, a pretty good cook, a beloved child of God, an avid hobby photographer, a person who likes to dip her toes into all that life has to offer. In fact you might find that we have a lot in common, and that labels don't really explain the complexity of human beings.
Thanks for visiting me, I always love to hear from you! You can also email me at b(dot)jackie79(at)yahoo(dot)com-
