http://persnicketypeacock.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 28, 2011. Some of you may have read or heard on the news that my Dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at the end of last year. Although his prognosis is good, I think our family has taken the opportunity to reevaluate the "important" parts of life. So, here is my 20 x 40 list.20 things I hope to achieve by the time I turn 40. Learn to can fruits and veggies. Sew something for ME. Road trip across the United States. Take a calligraphy class. MAKE all my gifts for a year. I've had this lis...

Persnickety Peacock: Holiday Party
http://persnicketypeacock.blogspot.com/2012/11/holiday-party.html
Sunday, November 18, 2012. About six months ago, I was reading one of the million blogs I follow when I stumbled upon this. Post Blue Eyed Bride. Created a post of the ten people she'd invite to a dinner party. What a great idea! I often daydream about people I'd like to meet, become best friends with, learn from, etc. So, I decided to put together my very own list. My ten folks range from musicians to missionaries. Here is a little snippet about each of them.and why I chose them. So, what about you?

Persnickety Peacock: June 2010
http://persnicketypeacock.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 18, 2010. Like many American families, I'll be celebrating Father's Day with my family on Sunday. This is the first year I can remember where we have celebrated on the actual holiday. Years ago, we celebrated Father's Day in October. With Dad's insane schedule, it was the first time everyone in our family could get together. I quickly remembered that I had a similar picture of my grandfather (Dad's daddy) with a cow too. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Good News, Good News! As many of you know, I'...

So, they say you learn a lot in college. They are right. I already learned that I am not as smart as I thought I was. Oh wait, , ,maybe it was that I need more than three to four hours of sleep a night. Nope, I remember, it was that I have an old brain and it is not cooperating! I only got 6 out of ten! Links to this post. Well, this past w...

It has been said many a time that when life gives you lemons.make lemonade. Well, what if you don't particularly care for lemonade? Just wondering aloud. Anyway, just what does that mean? I hear it and think that it is about taking what your dealt in life and doing the best you can with it. Anybody think that's not it? I tend not to like t...

Thursday, August 22, 2013. Robins Nest Before, During and After. This has been a long time coming. A labor of love.with a little cursing and a lot of money thrown in.

Crafty WI Mama: My Favorite Fall Posts
http://craftywimama.blogspot.com/2013/09/my-favorite-fall-posts.html
My Favorite Fall Posts. It's been a little over a year since I started blogging. It's been quite the journey, and I really enjoy writing and sharing much more than I imagined. It helps that there are so many wonderful ladies in the blogosphere, who are so inspiring! I get a little sentimental when looking back at old posts, and I thought I'd round up my favorites from last fall. Please don't mind the poor photos - practice makes progress! Need a new wreath, but don't want to spend much? At the Dollar Tree.

Monday, November 30, 2009. A Handcrafted Ornament for Christmas. I created this Pinecone Ornament for a Christmas Swap and thought I'd share the tutorial here. It's a bit time consuming, but not difficult at all. If you have any questions, just email me. Enjoy! 2 or 3 inch styrofoam egg. 1 sheet 12x12 patterned paper. Dressmaker Pins (aka lace or bridal pins) *I call them "common pins". Optional: Springs of holly, pine, berries. Links to this post. Thursday, November 5, 2009. Links to this post.

Friday, April 2, 2010. How Could I Be So Neglectful? I have been so busy with my blog, A Scrapmom's Musings, that this blog has gone by the wayside. I just haven't done any other type of crafting other than scrapping, so I've just ignored this blog. The beginning of February found me becoming a DT member to two sites: Scrapbooking and Crafting Friends and Creative Scrapbooking Divas. There's alot to do on both sites and I've just been busy! I'll post the finished project within the next few days.
