A Change of Plans
I’m a planner and a scheduler. I keep a personal calendar and a blog calendar, and function best when I have things mapped out at least a few months in advance. Part of this is just personal preference and how I work best and part is common sense and survival. In addition to working full-time, [...]

Monterey Bay Aquarium & An Elephant Seal Rookery
As I mentioned in a post last week I was on vacation – taking in the beauty of California’s Central Coast. I stayed in Cambria for a week, and was lucky enough to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium during my stay. What an incredible facility! The exhibits were amazing, and the volunteers and staff [...]
March Giveaway: Water Lily Note Cards!

(Thank you for your hospitality, T.E.L!) I’ll drive home to hubby and the bunnies this weekend, and will return to blogging from Southern California next week. In the meantime, [...]

I donate all my time and some of the supplies, but rely on donors to provide the bulk of the supplies for the children. Some past donors have sent checks, some have sent art supplies, some have sent [...]
Repurposed Vintage Train Case
Look – my new “art supplies on the go” case! I used to have my art supply basics in a huge Ziplock bag, and would put that bag inside a larger tote when I attended art classes or creative gatherings, but I definitely needed an upgrade. Sure, my old bag was easy to transport and [...]

Haiku: A Simple Pleasure
Olallieberry – so good on buttered wheat toast! This jam is a treat… Until a few years ago I’d never tasted olallieberry jam, and boy was I missing out! I was introduced to the wonders of olallieberry by my friend, Ariella Fiore, and I’m so glad I was. I bought some jars of homemade jam from [...]
