Handmade Greeting Cards-Fine and Dandy Collection

Hey! Hey! I made some cards a few weeks ago and meant to post them when I first made them, but I have been a bit busy. So I'm sharing them today.

As you can see I only used Dear Lizzy's Fine and Dandy collection. This collection is awesome. At first glance, you would immediately think that it is just a birthday theme collection, but you can make so many other non birthday projects and cards. My favorite card out of the bunch is the card that says "Have Fun Ok!"

Supplies Used:

• Dear Lizzy Fine and Dandy 6x6 Paper Pad
• Dear Lizzy Fine and Dandy ephemera
• Dear Lizzy Fine and Dandy Chipboard Stickers
• Wood Veneers
• Tombow Xtreme Adhesive

Which card is your favorite?

Mother, Can You Not?--Blogging for Books Review

Hey! So lately I have really been into reading (and adding to my TBR list) nonfiction and humor books. I have never heard of Katie Siegel or her Instagram page which you can check out here. However, the book caught my eye so I decided to check it out.

Mother, Can You Not? is a book of essays about Kate and her mother's relationship. Most people do not have the kind of relationship that Kate and her mother have and it was interesting to read about it. I thought the book was funny, and there were plenty of decent stories in the book. I love that the book included emails and text messages that they sent to each other. Two of my favorite stories from the book are Green Eggs and Sperm as well as I Am Woman. These two stories were funny, but was about an important topic that all parents eventually have to have with their kids and in this case especially girls. The only thing that kind of annoyed me was that word "vagina" popped up like a million times within the first few pages. Don't get me wrong, some of the jokes were funny, but it gets annoying when it's mentioned a lot and makes it seem like that is the the only thing she knew how to and can joke about is that.

Would I actually purchase this book? Honestly, I am not too sure. I would definitely borrow it from the library. Overall, I would give this a 3/5 stars.

Have you read Mother, Can You Not? If so, what are your thoughts?

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for this review. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Happy Tuesday! It's time for another Currently List!

Watching: I woke up super early and was able to catch the early news.

Reading: Does anybody else wake up to a bunch of emails? I caught up on some blog posts as well.

Listening: So my friend posted a meme that referenced Dirty Diana in it and now I can not stop listening to the song.

Making: I am really loving making all these art journal pages and working on #100DaysOfArt. I have been posting pictures on my Instagram account which you can check out here.

Feeling: It feels awesome to get a lot of stuff done really early so I may be able to have some "me time".

Planning: I can't believe that my oldest son will be six. Six! He's getting too big. I want my boys to stay little forever!

Loving: New art supplies and books for Mother's Day is always nice! I got some mixed media books, some brushes that I really needed and wanted. I also got some palette knives and some Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. I'm really glad that Hobby Lobby is now putting some new products in the store. I was so surprised when I saw that they finally have the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons, paints, spray stains, kits, and markers in stock. Also I learned the hard way that you should really pay attention to what type of brushes you use with paints and mediums. I really messed up a brush that I used with gesso. Oh well, you live and you learn.
