I signed up for Tracey Clark‘s online Picture Summer class today (still a few days left, if you want to join in, too!). It officially began on July 1st, so I needed three photos to catch up. one.

A random and unexpected perk
So, you probably know by now that I started offering ad space here on the blog this year. The ads are offered using an auction model, and so they are often changing, as bids are made and expired. I am really enjoying peeking in here every day and seeing who is in the sidebar. I […]

My poor husband claims I don’t pay enough attention to him. Usually when he says that, I just laugh and shoo him away so I can get back to what I was doing. (hee hee) But yesterday, after my podcast post, I started to think maybe he’s right. You see, he saw my list of […]

So yesterday I got caught up in the snowiness of it all, bundled myself up, and went outside to run down the hill and feel the falling snow bounce off of my face as I flew by. Four times. I made a snow angel, and had a snowball fight, too. Before all that, though, I […]

I’m eager to get into a new daily photography project, and here it is: A Month of Hands. Won’t you join me?

I find that my time in the kitchen (both when cooking and when cleaning) goes by easily when I have something entertaining to listen to. Sometimes I play music and dance my way through my tasks, but more often I like to put on a podcast or two and listen to actual people talking about […]

I’m thinking that to live a creative life, you have to be pretty good at multitasking. For instance, you could be standing on your dining room’s built-in cabinet for a Bench Monday picture, just after you put the chicken in the oven and just before the handyman comes to give you an estimate on painting […]

This is my task list for yesterday. As I’m sure you know, I like to use an online service for managing my tasks, so why, you ask, was I rockin’ the old-fashioned legal pad yesterday? It’s the same reason I am posting two days of Yellow Week at a time – my hard drive is […]

Such a busy busy work day today! As part of my 3-week-old “improve all of the neglected areas of my life” initiative, I’ve designated Wednesday as the day that I take care of all kinds of miscellaneous business tasks – essentially everything that isn’t packing & shipping. Today it took hours longer than I expected. […]
