I just saw this photo on Mary Ann’s blog. I am struck with lust so severe I’m not sure how I’ll make it through the day. What an awesome way to store flat collage ephemera. Everything is organized, kept flat, and the whole thing is just so pretty. I’m not usually one who gets worked [...]
Once again I was able to convince myself to make some time for playing in my art journal and I’m really glad I did. Doing it during quiet time helps me feel less lonely since I can hear the kids in their rooms playing and today my love was in the room with me taking [...]
I’ve been giving some thought to other things I’d like to accomplish this year. I wrote the first things that came to mind in my art journal, but as I thought about it more, I realized that there are still things I think need some improvement in my life. Here’s a longer list (the journaled [...]

I’ve never done that before. Turns out that he gnashes his teeth and rubs his nipples simultaneously quite frequently.). It’s a game that can last [...]
I want desperately to be a more organized and to be much more productive, but in spite of myself I seem to find myself sucked in to things that I know I should avoid. So I thought I’d share a list of some of the ones I’ve fallen prey to just today. Google Reader- I [...]
