Color Wheelies | Artists In The Schools
Today I did Art in the Schools with a second grade class. I have had lots of requests for Classroom Canvases...which I love doing, but it's fun to do other things too. This color wheel session is one of my favorites because it teaches basic color theory--which...
The Stove
I got this beautiful new stove. They brought it to me today. I snapped this photo so soon after they dropped it off that the glass on the door is still foggy from coming in from the cold. What's the occasion? Why the fancy new appliance? Well.... ...
Katie’s Singing Telegrams {your best Valentine ever}
you might not know too much about singing telegrams. Maybe you are picturing something late and outdated. So let me clear the air here. Kaite's Singing Telegrams is different than what you might imagine. It's fresh, funky and fun. We talk about a lot...
Carter is ONE! | 12 month portraits
A couple weeks back I got to hang out with this guy. Color me lucky, because even though I possess the super power of putting him on the verge of tears with a simple look {forget any physical contact!} he still stole my heart. Maybe it's that whole hard-to-get thing...
Mr. & Mrs. Skinner
Remember that crazy long road trip we took earlier in the month? Well...a major reason for taking it was to get to this amazing wedding. Why, so amazing? Let me tell you. First of all, it was held in Louisiana...so I worked all day with no jacket--despite the fact...
Third Grade Canvases
This week has been all about the Classroom Canvases I started on Monday. Really...when doing four back to back to back it turns in to a weeklong project. Which is fine by me, because I really do like doing them. Well--I finally got them all finished up! The kids...

Tonight we are going over the second half of our big, fat, American road trip. Derek and I went across the country on a trip from Minot to Orlando. It was a long haul, but incredibly fun. If you missed our first two stops--check out yesterday's post. The...
Road Trip 2015 {part 1}
You can say a lot of things about Derek and me. But you absolutely cannot declare that we don't know how to road trip. Seriously. We are so good at it. This month we took a cross country road trip. It was one of our longest road trips of all time...and one of the...
Third Grade Musings | Classroom Canvas
If you follow the Facebook page {which you should...} you might have seen this image that I posted last night. That's right. Although I just got back to Practically Canada {I'll tell you all about our amazing road trip tomorrow}, I'm already running full speed. ...
Seven New Invitation & Card Designs
Tonight I'm pleased to be showing you six new {and one updated} printable invitations and card designs that are now available in my Etsy shop. Most of these are modified versions of custom orders I've taken over the last year/two/three. I owe a huge thank you...
Baby Bird {A Bird Themed Baby Shower}
I simply cannot believe I've let so much time pass before showing you these photos. I honestly don't know where the time goes. But I digress...Today I'm so excited to be showing you images from a baby shower we threw for my sister back in December. It was an...
8 Tips for Reaching Your Fitness Goals
