I want to let you in on a little secret. I am a thief. A MASTER thief. Everyone tells me I'm so creative. I smile. I don't consider myself "creative", just good at copying what's already been done. This is my tribute to all the truly creative people out there!

Pallette Generator

Need design help with your next scrapbook page? This site helps to generate a color palette based on the colors of your photos. I think this is great because I spend most of my time trying to figure out what papers to use.

String Backpack



My kids love backpacks, bags, or really just anything they can put little treasure into. I thought this would be cool for them to take to the pool this summer, or for trips to the park with their snacks/lunch.
