What Made Me Happy Today? Happiness is… 1. Chocolate Covered Strawberries (Kevin bought them for me before he left for the Great Lakes Mega Meet.) 2. A fun decorative font (link to Rapscallion font – pictured below) – (I was able to use this font and my design skills to help a friend with an invitation – that always makes …
Arcostic Words on Wednesday, May 9
ACROSTIC – LIST CHALLENGE: Write your name down the left-hand side of the page, (like you would for an acrostic poem). Next to each letter write a positive word that describes YOU. (That begins with that letter, of course.) Thankful Artistic Motivated Ingenious Mine was easy – I have a short name, it's not my fault. My mother gave it …
Free Day – Tuesday, May 8
If you had a free day – to do anything you wanted – what would you do? FREE DAY! I am sure all this would change, depending on my mood at the time; but, if I had a free day… 1. I'd get Kevin to spend the day with me. 2. I'd get up early. I am an early …
Mosaic Moments – bits and pieces
My mother made many quilts over the years. Some of the most cherished included fabric scraps from clothing she made for us. I love the idea of making my "scraps" useful like she did.

Out of Place – Saturday, March 31
Out of Place Do you ever wonder how things got where they are? 1. There's a plastic candy cane in the pencil holder on my desk – I have no idea what it is doing in there. (It really should be packed away with the Christmas tree ornaments.) 2. Inside that same pencil holder I found a ping pong …
Begin with…A Memory Exercise – Friday May 4
I have friends who I can easily chat with on the phone for hours. We start talking and the conversation just continues to flow from one subject to another. Memories can be a lot like conversations they can begin in one place an end in a completely different place. Try it out: Begin with… a circular object … like the …
Home is where the Heart is – Thursday May 3
Home is where the Heart is Until a few years ago, when people asked me, "Where are you from?" I hesitated before answering. That's a good question I'd think to myself. I was born in Idaho shortly after my family moved across the border to Oregon. When I was 3-4 we lived in Eastern Washington. Then we moved …
oh my word DARE! Wednesday May 2
I double dog DARE you! When I was a kid I remember the news talking about a man, named Evel Knievel, who was going to jump over the Snake River Canyon. It seemed like a crazy thing to do – no one could jump over a big canyon like that! Right? He survived the stunt – but, as I remember …
