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 been debating for the past week or so since Julie announced her intention to art journal every day whether or not I could do the same.  It’s not that I wouldn’t like to.  It’s just that I never seem to make the time.  It’s sad that I don’t spend more time working on my [...]

Lately, I’ve been entertaining fantasies of going back to New York.  Last Thanksgiving I was lucky enough to go for a visit with my mom with my love.  We stayed at her house in Long Island over the long weekend and she and her friend drove us into the city the first couple of days [...]

  Today was the official release of Cataclysm, the latest expansion for the game World of Warcraft.  I mentioned that I go through stages in my hobbies.  My love does not.  He loves playing WoW all the time.  For the day to day stuff, he’s got his brother and assorted other friends that he enjoys [...]

I received an email from Chronicle books this afternoon inviting me and my readers to take advantage of a promo they are having.  Find the details here.  The sale lasts until December 12th.  Use the checkout code “FRIENDS”.

I tend to go through stages of interest in things.  My primary passions are art journaling, playing video games, and writing.  For the past few months I was more into the others than into anything resembling art.  It didn’t help that we moved to a house with less available room for my stuff.  Since we’ve [...]

I just saw via the Mod Podge Rocks blog that Chronicle Books is hosting a contest.  From their site: Post a list of Chronicle Books valued at up to $500 that you’d like to haul in, and you’ll be automatically entered into a drawing to WIN your list of books! And, one of your readers [...]

I’ve had my eye on a Silhouette cutting machine for ages.  I first became aware of them while looking at one of Donna Downey’s Inspiration Wednesday posts. I already have a few paper punches and a pink Hello Kitty Big Shot (a very thoughtful gift from my love). I love paper shapes on my pages.  [...]
