My husband and I have been watching Twin Peaks together for the first time and enjoying it immensely. When I heard this one line in the show I dared Mick to use that line in his every day life and then send me the proof that he did, as a token of his love for […]
Scrapbooking Ancestral History
April 4, 2016 by 1 Comment
Created with Quick Page from Studio Manu @ Scrapbookgraphics I’ve been thinking a great deal lately about how long it has been since I have been interested in knowing and understanding my own story and scrapbooking it. Shortly after my paternal grandfather died, my father sat me and my brother down to have a little […]

February 23, 2016 by Leave a Comment
I thought it would be fun to share a simple little technique that I use when I want to create an Ink Stamp effect in a digital way. I thought it would be a really cute idea if I were to create my own planner sticker pack from selfies I had taken in various expressions […]

Is it Possible to Have Too Many Ideas?
February 3, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Having worked in a creative industry for 13 years, it is not uncommon to hear someone complain that they have lost their mojo. This pretty much translates to feeling uninspired, therefore, incapable of being creative at the time. However, it is important to realize that just because we may feel disconnected from the flow of […]
Why Use a Planner if I Don’t Plan?
January 29, 2016 by 1 Comment
Until recently, I have never been much of a planner. Whenever I wanted to accomplish something I would simply just start it and take one step at a time, allowing the process to organically develop until completed. I don’t like deadlines. Just the sheer mention of an expected deadline can make me so anxious that […]

January 27, 2016 by Leave a Comment
I have a little confession. I am not really big on planning things. Well, I do plan to some degree, but very loosely. I also use a planner, and it is very helpful to me, but I will explain how I use it in another post later this week. Today I want to talk about […]

January 22, 2016 by Leave a Comment
I have been thinking a great deal lately about the importance of memory keeping and scrapbooking, mostly because I have gotten behind on my projects in this area and am feeling a calling to create some more scrapbooks.

January 21, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Yesterday I had a really lovely lady contact me and ask me if I ever sell digital images of my art dolls, so that others could use them in their own art. She sited a couple of art doll examples of which I have been sharing my process of creation on my Periscope shows. […]

It has been a while since I have journaled about my life and I think it is time to check in and take stock of where I am at. Last September, I went to see a Naturopathic Doctor for the first time in many years. I have been back and forth to doctors for years […]
