This has been the question behind yoga practice for the last couple of weeks. An almost impossible question to answer. I am all sorts of things, a librarian, an artist, a cook, a dishwasher. But I am also a procrastinator, a selfish person, a professional time waster. Or am I a music lover, a friend, …

Summer is here!
Over here in New Hampshire we are checking things off our summer bucket list. We've taken a lovely trip to Bar Harbor. We've played mini golf. We've gone to a few baseball games. I've even scheduled a paddle boarding lesson. As we try to consciously enjoy the great summer weather, it becomes difficult to spend …
Please Spring, hurry up!
Thought I'd share a few projects I've been working on as I wait, wait, wait on Spring to arrive. It's still cold, there is still snow, blah. The sun is out and I heard that the bears are waking up. . . so not too much longer. This gem is a guest book. Any one …
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Something I love? Having time to goof around in my art journal. Something else I love? Free magazines. So, fussy cutting models out of fashion magazines and gluing them in my art journal for later artsy inspiration is way high on the list of awesome. Giving myself time to play is one way I show …
Oh, progress . . .
I get it. Insurance companies are betting on a risk to reward ratio. I get it, our house currently looks a little too heavy on the risk front. But, we have a plan! Unfortunately, our timeline is not the same as our insurance company's. So, we asked friends and family to help us out with …
Phil did say there’d be 6 more weeks. . .
You know what they say about the weather in New Hampshire? If you don't like it, wait five minutes. Or a day, because yesterday it hit 70 degrees, and today it is snowing. Hard to see through the jungle, but trust me, it's happening. It is February, so it's okay that it's snowing, it's supposed …

Acceptance
Today's lesson in yoga class was acceptance. Accept where you are today. Accept what you are feeling, no matter what, today. Accept that sometimes you just want to stamp hipster goats. Namaste Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous, Namaste.
Another week, another stash moment
Last week I shared how I redesign papers that don't really speak to me. You know, those sheets that it if I wasn't so "frugal" (read, cheap, spendthrifty, etc.) I would just toss out. This week I want to share what I do with papers I can't live without. Let me be clear. These …
Happy Valentine’s Day!
A few great quotes for the inside of your Valentine's Day cards ( and a few of my Valentine's Day cards, too). "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other." -- Audrey Hepburn "Where there is love, there is life." -- Mahatma Gandhi "Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun …
