Brilliant? I’ll Take It!

By now you’re likely familiar with the fact that I post photos on ViewBug. And that I’ve received a couple awards in the last few months. I’m glad to announce I’ve got another award! They awarded me with “Brilliant” this time. That seems generous, but I’m flattered and thankful for any recognition. And, of course, […]

Beauty Products – Reviewed!

You may have noticed this image on the right side of my blog: It’s a pretty cool website where you can review products and learn from others’ reviews. They deemed me worthy of a box of products to review. So here I am… with reviews! The products were hit or miss for me. I received […]

A Week in Songs

I recently began a journaling exercise. At the end of the day I describe my feelings for the day in a song. I think some of the results are interesting – in many ways. Sometimes the songs have several different aspects to them but I cling to one particular theme that sticks with me more […]

Zentangle? What the?

So I stumbled into this really neat way of turning what seem like doodles into little works of art. It’s called Zentangle. I’m not very good at drawing. And the few things I’ve completed that gained any recognition at all have been abstract. Most of my time in school was spent doodling in my notebook […]

Rowley’s Bay

In July, we went up to Rowley’s Bay in Door County to celebrate Jerry’s mom’s birthday. It was a surprise arranged by Jerry’s dad (what an amazing husband/dad!) that the kids came up after they had already spent a day there. When Mom found out, it was certainly a surprise. We were waiting in the […]
