Rooted Mini Collection | Dunia Designs

Last week we went out and took family photos. The timing was perfect, because only a few days later we had our first snowfall warning of the season. Sadly, the forecast of 10-15 cm of the white stuff was accurate.

I created this layout using Rooted, a new Mini Collection from Dunia Designs. On sale for a short time at the-lilypad. 


I so appreciate that my family puts on the clothes I ask them to, and drives to a park so we can take family photos. 

Always so happy to have updated photos.

Spooked Collection | Dunia Designs

Spooked, a new collaborative collection from Dunia Designs and Anita Designs. On sale now, for a limited time.


Halloween is one event I enjoy decorating for. The past few years I've made a spooky station on my dining room hutch. I wish I had more storage, so I could add more things. But we just don't have the room. Here's my bit of spooky.

PL2023 - Week 30 | Sahlin Studio

We had some epic camping trips this summer. We were actually able to get into the campgrounds again! Such a bonus. On this particular weekend, we switched campgrounds last minute [for power and our patio lights of course] We totally lucked out with an awesome last minute campsite, and the weather was incredible. Lucky us. 

Here's week 30: 


  • A few camping photos from the week.
  • Mad joining her little cousins on a trip to Calaway Park.
  • Barry sporting his new ride.

PL2023 - Weeks 28 & 29 | Sahlin Studio

Combined weeks 28 & 29 of my project life album.


  • I joked that this was a rare glimpse of a teen in their natural habitat... But it's not really a joke. These kids and their phones... I sometimes wish they'd never been invented.
  • We saw Mother Mother at the Coca-Cola Stage at the stampeded the last night they were here. 
  • All 4 of us went to Aladdin. It was incredible. 
  • STILL able to wear my 80's something coveralls.

Bibliophilie | Dunia Designs

Bibliophilie from Dunia Designs is on sale for 40% off the regular price. 

I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. As kid, I used to wait until I heard my parents go to bed at night, then quietly [and sneakily] turn my reading lamp back on and read until the wee hours.

I can still read until the wee hours, but my roomate gets quite grumpy when I don't turn the light off...

One thing I'm happy to have passed along to my kids is a love of reading. For many years, they both had their noses in a book. Especially child number two... The teachers used to call me and complain that she was sneaking books to class, hiding them in her desk and reading while lessons were happening. 

Now they prefer to read their phones, if I'm being honest, but every once and awhile I catch them reading. I hope it's something they'll both be passionate about for their whole lives.
