Colorcinch for fun online photo editing
I love to share a variety of tools to make photos special. I’m always looking for new apps and sites that give me great options to make my pictures unique and exciting. I was excited to find Colorcinch (cartoonize.net) and I love that you can access it through a browser (on any computer or smart device). They offer lots of options for free accounts and you can upgrade to an inexpensive monthly or annual plan if you want even more features.
Here are some of the cool things you can do with this site:
Let's have some laughs
I think it’s a great day to share some laughs and smiles here. I think you all know by now that humor is one of my coping mechanisms to get through life. I hope you enjoy these funny little tidbits!
Create a correspondence center to keep you organized all year long
My daughter was here for a visit and wanted to see what I had in my desk drawers. She was really excited when she saw my correspondence drawer and she encouraged me to share it here with all of my readers. I put together some story images to illustrate how this system works for me.. I hope you find it useful!
Laughter makes life better
I don’t know about you, but I need a regular dose of laughter to keep me going in life. I love the feeling of a good giggle and I’m grateful to be able to have a sense of humor to help me keep things in perspective. I’m always collecting silly stuff I see online so I thought today would be a great day to share some new favorites.
Muffin Tin Monday
Have you ever heard of Muffin Tin Monday? It’s just simply putting different foods into muffin tins for a unique presentation. This works especially well for kids and helps introduce them to new foods in a fun way. I made muffin tin meals for my kids when they were really young. I didn't know that they were called that and I certainly never imagined that someday the internet would be filled with photos of such things. I just started a Pinterest board for Muffin Tin snack and meal ideas so be sure to follow it for some inspiration!
Favorite Fonts - Top picks for the best free typewriter fonts
I’m excited to tell you all about my favorite typewriter fonts today. My previous posts on the best basic & free journaling fonts and the best legible and free script fonts have been very popular and I definitely want to continue on this series. I see so many posts out there recommending hard-to-read fonts. I’ve made thousands of scrapbook pages over the years (both paper and digital), taught scrapbooking classes, written for instructive scrapbooking sites, and been a digital designer. I’ve looked at A LOT of text and fonts over the years and have put a great deal of thought and study into my own font choices. It’s tempting to just download all the amazing fonts out there, especially when they are free. If you love fonts, go ahead and download to your heart’s content, but be sure to do some research and figure out which ones look the best. Focus on readability above all else. It will make a huge difference in your projects!
Mollie Ollie organizer for coloring and notebooking creativity projects
I just love organizing, especially when it comes to crafting supplies. I always feel more creative when I can easily access the tools I need for my crafting. I have noticed several of these nursery organizers lately as I’ve bought shower gifts for expectant mothers and I thought they would make great craft organizers. I was really excited when one of the owners of Mollie Ollie asked me if I would be interested in sharing my ideas for a post. Definitely! I decided I wanted to put together a center for all of my coloring and notebooking projects. I love using notebooks for bullet journals, keeping track of ideas, planning, and sketch work. I also have collected a lot of different pens, pencils, crayons and markers and got tired of trying to round them all up whenever I wanted to work with them. Turns out that this organizer was just the perfect solution!

Online shopping finds - Kitchen Edition
I’ve always been into online shopping, but the pandemic made me rely even more heavily on the internet to find what I needed (and didn’t need). I’m betting a lot of you out there can relate! Sometimes I just like to browse through some of my past purchases in my online accounts and see what I’ve found. I thought it might be fun to share some of my favorites here as well. It turns out that all of these purchases are kitchen-related. I’ve definitely spent more time in the kitchen over the last year than I have in a long time!
Sew Creative
I used to do quite a bit of sewing many years ago. I took my first sewing class at the age of 12 and made a wrap-around skirt for my first project. I remember being so proud of it when I wore it to church. I took sewing in both junior high and high school and always enjoyed it. My favorite part about sewing was looking through the pattern books. I always had big dreams when I perused those books.
