It seemed fitting that on the day we celebrate our Independence as a nation, the residents of the Safelight shelter might celebrate their independence in their new lives. Safelight is the name of the domestic violence shelter in our little town. This organization incorporates many services for domestic violence victims and sexual assault victims providing …

Mid Year Check in on Goals
It is coming up on the halfway point for the year, so it is time to check in with the goals for the year and see how it is going. Actually, pretty well!! The goals post is HERE. Since I am still working on the secret quilting projects, I can't show those just yet. But, …
Thank You Cards to Re-use and Recycle
When you get a handmade card, wouldn't it be nice to be able to pass it along for someone else to enjoy? I mean, how many of us get a card (and so few of those come in snail mail these days!) and enjoy the sentiment, only to throw it into the paper recycle bin, …
Stamping Fun in April
Saturday was a cold and drizzly day, perfect for doing some indoor crafting. I was in the mood to do some stamping, and decided to make some cards for the Safelight Project. The Project is picking up now that spring breaks are over, and donations are continuing to arrive in the mail. Thank you to …
Safelight Project 2018
I am reposting about this project and the prizes you can win as perhaps last week was just too busy with spring break. My blog was also down for a couple of days as the upgrade was completed to remove ads and complete the redesign of the blog. I hope you like the new look! …

The class was fantastic and very inspiring, so I went to the stamping workbench to see what I could …

But, for many, Valentine's day isn't a day to celebrate, particularly those who have been betrayed by one they loved. Perhaps, though, if I could make something small and inspirational, the day might be …
January Stamping Fun with Cards
About a week ago, we got an invitation to a surprise birthday party my dear friend, Gail. The invitation was hand delivered by her husband and clearly specified 'no gifts'. Of course, those kinds of instructions I rarely follow, at the very least I wanted to make a card. For stampers, January is a great …
A Year at From My Carolina Home, and a plan for next year
Are you a planner? I have to confess that I am not much of one anymore. After spending many years in the business world and the medical field, using complex planners to keep track of appointments, travel arrangements, goals and objectives, this is the last thing I want to do now. For me, quilting, cooking, …

Merry Christmas – a Time for Sharing
Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas, dear readers! At this time of year, it is customary to count our blessings and to share with others. Giving gifts to dear friends and family, and to those less fortunate is one of the ways that I like to find the joy in the season. Small tokens of affection …
