Just popping online for a few minutes to share with you that there are seven new kR digital kits available at two peas today, including the beautiful cabinet card frames above and the vintage letter press trays that you can see below.

I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday, it’s been very mellow here, which is so nice. The man has this entire next week off which i am looking forward to enjoying with him & the littles. Hoping we can make it into the city for a fun day at the exploratorium!

To you and yours happy new year!!

lighting has been icky here lately and i can’t seem to get a good pic of my december journal so i thought i’d post a few recent digi layouts with the new Route 25 kits, since there’s no picture taking required. ;)

make sure you check the kR facebook page a bit later today (now!) for a fun Route 25 fan freebie. it might help with your project life & december daily journaling… *hint*hint* see below.

happy wednesday.

I have a big release tomorrow at two peas. 8 vintage kits, and wanted to share the preview images with you all this afternoon. i’m a sucker for a homespun christmas and old ephemera and photos, so i had alot of fun designing these and including them in the route 25 kits. don’t miss the shiny & birght countdown badges at the bottom either, super fun for some december daily action or general scrapping.would love to know what you think. ;)

i’ll be back tomorrow with some peeks in my december daily that i’m made with the papers that i printed from the route 25 kit.

happy monday!

saturday afternoon, after the salvage yard, with my car full of chippy wood and windows, beth and i decided to head over to north beach to fill our tummies with some food. it really is one of the best places in the city for eats.

but before we ate, while we were trolling the back streets for a parking place i drove past this little shop, tucked a few blocks off columbus. i didn’t see much of it while driving by. just those huge marquee letters. that was enough, so i told beth we’d have to make a pit stop on the way to food. my instincts were on fire. food could wait. ;)

i think i might have swooned a little bit when we walked in. this was my kinda store people. the goods were amazing. if my pocketbook had held enough cash (and i had known the hubs wouldn’t kill me when i got home sunday night from rescuing more old things) i think almost all of it would have come home with me. i’m still kinda upset i didn’t buy (let alone take a pic of) the huge tulip educational picture that was sitting on the far wall out of the pic above. it. was. amazing.

this table though made up for it. everything on it was $1. i spent $24. i should have spent $100. i’m still kicking myself that i didn’t pile more into my hands of the 1800s parchments. they. are. amazing!

my loot. i bought pictures, parchments, antique french bill of sales checks. and i’m really smitten with my girl who looks like a pilgrim.

old papers make thee happy.

i’m a sucker for old pictures too. especially old houses and women.

i might have gasped really loudly when i found this beauty. *note. she was $1. she’s parisian. she’s 127 years old. she’d beautiful.

i’m still kinda swoony. it’s a word people.

today i’m working on some new things to share next week, including a really belated shadowbox i owe someone who’s been very, very, very patient with me while my mojo kerfluped. i’m making things made with things i found last weekend. i’m making things with stencils that a very talented friend sent me.

and i have to note. i’ve been really enjoying the time i’ve been taking to just make whatever my heart desires, even when i’m all over the place with where that is taking me. i’m experimenting. i’m exploring. it’s making me happier than i thought it would.

happy friday!
