A Journey of 1000 Steps

This is it. You made it. You set a goal and you set forth to conquer it. A wise Chinese philosopher once said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Well…..my wonderfully creative, fabulous, exhausted friend.  Your journey has begun. And we want to see it.  We want to see your

Putting the Possible in Impossible

I DID IT!  Yesssireee!  I did it! I can’t believe I made my “impossible” a “possible.” Remember when you were in fourth grade and they were picking teams for dodgeball and you were always picked last and then you grew over the summer and then the team captain who never realy liked you picked you……first!

Ouch! That Hurt!

Blogging can be thrilling and exciting and surprising and scary. Yes.  Scary. There are thousands of us. Painters and sanders and thrifters and upholsterers and junkers and crafters. Thousands.

I’ve Got My ISO on You

I am obsessed with photography. Four weeks ago I had never even heard of Picasa or aperture or balance or shutter release or ISO (remember….I even had to enlist the help of an expert arrow maker) But now….                 …..now those are words that make my heart sing.  In the interest of full disclosure, I
