A blow to the spiders

Christmas came this year and dealt a heavy blow to the spider population in my house.  You see, I have somewhat of a live-and-let-live policy when it comes to tiny critters, especially if they look relatively harmless, and the teeny tiny spiders that I sometimes see among the plants in the front window have never […]

Picture the Holidays, slacker style

So… how is everyone?  All recovered?  Did you have a lovely holiday?  Part One of mine was fantastic!  Part Two, unfortunately, is currently being preempted by a blizzard, but we’ll get it all figured out later in the week I suppose. Last week was a whirlwind of activity on my part, and I was so […]

Picture the Holidays, week three

I closed all of my various shops tonight (all except the download shop) and now I am free to shift gears.  I’m leaving behind business and jumping head first into holiday preparations.  I’m always so excited for this day.  It feels good to let go of a little responsibility for a while and just focus […]

Photo Gift Tags: DIY or Download

(Told you I’d get more mileage out of these Christmas balls yet…)  Ok, so I’ve been super busy this week, but I have a bit of a breather today, and as luck would have it, serendipity gave me something seasonally-appropriate to blog about: gift tags! See, I ordered this snazzy gift tag punch online last […]

Picture the Holidays, week two

Thank you for your nice comments on my yarn bag this week.  I’m sorry I haven’t had the time to respond individually – I’ve been making checklists lately and actually crossing things off of them, believe it or not.  Accomplishing things is great for home and business, but not so great for social networking fun!  […]

Month of Gratitude, week four

So, this is it – the last day of November, and the last day of the Month of Gratitude project.  Did you enjoy yourselves?  I hope so.  My own month was inconvenient health-wise, and the tendency to get fed up with neck aches, fevers, sniffles, and antibiotics was present throughout much of it.  But times […]

Friday Photo Love, Month of Gratitude Week 2

Twelve days in, and I feel my enthusiasm starting to fizzle.  Maybe a month is too much?  It’s not that I am not thankful for the many wonderful things in my life, it’s just that I’m not really feeling like photographing them.  Maybe it’s the neck ache talking – I haven’t been sleeping well, waking […]

Meandering thoughts

Boring Office Guy and I are quite the pair this week.  If you’ve been keeping up with our photo blog, you’ve probably seen the pharmaceuticals pop into both of our gratitude streams over the past few days.  I don’t like taking medicine for anything, if I can help it, but sometimes you just have to […]
