Third Stop: Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

We’re in Harrisburg!
There are so many amazing people we get to see out here- it’s a little bit overwhelming. But really, really fun.
We were picked up at the airport by our good friend Ryan, who staffed my DTS back in 2006. We’re staying with our friends, Don and Angie, here in H-town. They have four [...]

Cut & Paste

Hi everyone!
Just thought I’d share with you some of the homemade, do-it-yourself activities that I’ve spent some time on recently.

I started by cutting out rectangular pieces of fall-colored card stock, measuring somewhere around 1/2″x1″. I glued slightly smaller pieces on top of [...]
