Words + Photos: Day 1
Ali Edwards is hosting a Words + Photos Week over at { A }. I debated, heavily, as to whether I should post this on TWT or on Crafty Creations. However, I opted for TWT, since Ali is encouraging the emphasis of this exercise to be writing; the photos are just for decoration. (Had I… Continue reading Words + Photos: Day 1

Not exactly a deep SOLS, but it’s a slice of my day!
Major neck pain has found it's way to the forefront of my life yet again. I spent most of my night waiting for and having an MRI to determine why I'm having numbness in my hand. Hence, I couldn't write much tonight, but since I make it my business to write daily, I threw this… Continue reading Not exactly a deep SOLS, but it’s a slice of my day!

Scrapbooks for the Slicers
One of the Two Handmade SOLSC Scrapbooks Originally uploaded by teachergal I enlisted myself for the preservation of my four students' Slices of Life (i.e., the ones who completed all 31 March). I created a scrapbook for each of them. They decided if they'd be handmade or digital. Personally, I love the handmade ones (pictured… Continue reading Scrapbooks for the Slicers

Stacey’s Slice of Life Story
I've been doing some very light hammering for the past hour. There are more holes in some of my walls than I should even admit to. Why? I'm trying to find spaces for some of our wedding pictures that just came in, while still trying to keep the photos up that we've grown to love.… Continue reading Stacey’s Slice of Life Story
