Field of daffodils. The daffodils are out, the pear and apple trees have buds, we still have the heat on; yup, it's spring here, finally. Trillium Winter was not a creative time for me. I felt like I was doing the bare minimum in the studio; just enough to restock at the gallery. I made …
We've had a pretty sad month over here at the 43Cards house. We had to say goodbye to Miss Thora at the beginning of October. She was in a lot of pain and the medicines just weren't cutting it anymore. We loved her very much, and every day with her was just perfect. Just yesterday, …
Wow, what a crazy couple of weeks! We went away for a little bit, and boy, it was tough to come back to real life! I hope we are lucky enough some day to have all our time be our time, you know what I mean? No clocks, no responsibilities, just what you choose to …

It snowed yesterday, a lot. And a lot of snow means a lot of shoveling. Just so you know, I love to shovel, I don't know why, I just do. Maybe it's the meditative nature of the solitude, the push and scrape of the shovel on the ground, the strength I feel with every shovel …
I had a really busy week in my real life, so I was only able to grab a couple minutes to be creative. Here's what I worked on: I make my notebooks out of 1/16 inch mat board, so there is always a kraft color edge that I like to cover up, making them blend …
You spilled water on your laptop and your backspace button doesn't work and shift now turns airplane mode on and off. Even if your truck door is frozen shut and you have to pour hot water on it to get it open. Even if this wipes out all the extra morning time you set aside …
Should we have New Year's Resolutions? How about a set of Goals for 2018? A Bucket list? Is this just a bandwagon thing, or can it actually be helpful? I've come up with a list of 10 things I want to do, explore, work on, enjoy during the coming year. Maybe I am already doing …
