One silver-lining of quarantine has been that I have more time to craft and I’m okay with that. It also gave me time to reorganize my craft supplies, I love my improved little craft corner. I also finished all my pages from our trip to Greece and France last year! To view those European pages, […]

This weekend kielbasa skillet is another recipe that tends to get a lot of DMs anytime I post it on my Instagram stories. So I finally put it to a poll vote last time I made it and it was a 100% “Yes” you all wanted this recipe. Again, like most recipes, I adapted it […]
Inside my Scrapbook: 2019 Greece & France
By Mercedes Santana on April 5, 2020Well here I am writing from couch at the end of week 3 of self-isolation due to COVID-19. I have to say, despite the fact that the world feels a little scary right now I’m really enjoying my time at home. I am getting work projects done that I always put on the back burner, […]
Most of you reading this now (March 2020) are more than likely self-quarantined at home due to the coronavirus outbreak. But, it’s not all bad, I like to think of the positive in this. It’s giving us time to rest, recharge, and get to that long list of things we always want to do but […]
A sprinkle themed birthday brunch party!

So I thought I would take my DIY (do-it-yourself for my readers that live under rocks) beyond just scrapbooks. I just hit my two year anniversary at my job (here is where you clap) and though my desk is actually a really nice space I wanted to spruce it up. We have an “open concept” […]
Past Papers: Real Simple Magazine Feature Scrapbook

I still love magazine and maybe one day I will work full-time for a publication, but now I can write when and what I want and freelance when I can. As my blog is coming up […]
Past Papers: HWY 1 Road Trip Scrapbook
By Mercedes Santana on February 2, 2019I finally picked some photos from our summer road trip up Pacific Coast Highway to highlight in this California scrapbook page. The drive up was slightly gloomy, but still breathtaking. Though the sky looked slightly dull in my photos the colors from the ocean and hills were still bright. So I knew that the paper […]
New York City Scrapbook
By Mercedes Santana on January 7, 2019Every trip inspires a page or two in my scrapbooks. There’s nothing more I love then crafting on a cold winter day. Which I’ve been doing a lot of the past few weekends. Yes, it does get chilly in Southern California. I also have to shout out my best friend Abby who helped me decide […]
