Still waiting for that moment to tell you about something creatively fantastic...I just got home from spending 4 days in the hospital with our 8 week old baby, who unluckily contracted RSV. I'm home now...and DYING to make something cute. Our hospital room was of a (sadly, newly redecorated) 80's kitchen throw-back decor. We're talking blue faux-bows made out of wood holding up the "decorative" shelves here. All it needed was a wooden goose that some 14 year old girl made at summer camp and we'd have been in business. And since I spent most of the 4 days sitting in an oxygen tent nursing, I had PLENTY of time to sit and think about all the wonderful things I want to make in the upcoming weeks...
So wish me luck - I'll be spending the next few days with can of lysol in one hand and a box of kleenex in the other - then just as soon as I can con all the little ones into a nap at the same time...I'm going to MAKE SOMETHING, by golly!!

Welcome to Creating In Real Life!
Those who know me know that I am always up to something crafty...scrapbooking, sewing, home decorating - you name it, I've probably tried it (with varying degrees of success!). My home is filled with craft projects, homemade items and storebought things that I've added personal touches to. Some of these projects have turned out really well...others...not so much! I also have stacks of partially finished projects, boxes of unused random supplies and enough ideas to fill a book. Sound familiar?!
As a busy Mom of four children under the age of 7, I am often asked, "how do you have the time (or money) to do that?" Well, here's my secret - I'm a master of making things look harder than they really are and I'm totally cheap! And I've learned to not be too hard on myself when I've made something - a project doesn't have to come out perfect to be cute or appreciated.
So, this blog is dedicated to all those other women out there who think they can't...who think they don't have the time...or think they aren't creative enough... I'll share my projects with you (even the ugly ones!), you can share your ideas with me - and between all of us, we can work together to create beautiful homes and captured memories for our families to treasure for years to come!
