Tuesday (Feb 17th) was Oscar’s 1st Birthday!
I can’t believe it’s already been a year…er, ah…it’s only been a year?!?  *sigh* It’s been nice being able to embark on my new project working from home so that I can stay with him.  Plus, during the day is the best time to take baby pictures!  Natural daylight!

I just found this on eBay and had to share.  Someone has put up for auction on eBay this red paperclip.  At least I think it’s a paperclip…the picture is kinda blurry.  Only 99 cents!  Apparently, the seller is also sending along a “Mystery Gift”.  Well if the gift is as exciting as the paperclip, [...]

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays.  This will be baby Oscar’s first Halloween and my daughter’s (lucky number) 13th!  So a very special year for us indeed!  I painted a few of these ACEOs in honor of Halloween and they are currently available in my shop:

I planted flowers this Summer for the first time in many years. Since I left high school, I’ve moved from place to place about [...]

I found this jar of moldy pickles on eBay.  Which reminds me–I should probably clean out my refrigerator tomorrow.  I wonder how much I could get for that long-forgotten Tupperware container stuffed waaay in the back.

Some mornings my favorite invention is the “brew delay” alarm clock feature on my coffee pot.  That way when I stumble out into the kitchen all bleary-eyed, I can grope around in the cabinet for a mug and pour myself some of the magic elixir quickly.  I can’t handle tasks that require any amount of [...]

Last night I was doing a bit of online “research”. You know the type where you start off with every intention of investigating a topic or just checking your email and before you know it you’re hip-deep in Celebrity Gossip and your eyes are so dry that you can hear yourself blink. Take [...]

You would hardly know it’s almost Summer here in Portland–it was drizzly and gray again today (which I love!). I’m happy it’s June because my daughter (Pink Ninja Girl) will be out of school in just a week. My mom is planning a trip with my younger niece to visit the baby. [...]
