When I first saw the stamp set Aviary in the 2010 Stampin' Up! catalogue I thought it was cute but didn't even think of putting it on my extensive wish list. It became obvious in a very short time period that I was going to "need" this stamp set. I signed up for Heather Summers' Aviary class - she so very kindly does a... |
Over the past few months I have been chasing my tail attempting to adopt a dog. Endless piles of paperwork, month long games of phone tag, joy, disappointment, more disappointment, three zipcar rentals and about $500 later, I am finally a doggie momma. Yesterday I drove in the rain (and got lost in Yonkers) to adopt th... |

The new year may only be 10 days old, but I've already done 3 new things that I'm excited about.

The other day, I was talking with a professional woman around my age. I have never met her. A mutual friend referred her to me.

Prison 15H I’ve been to this place 4 times now, to be confronted with a solid wall. That’s the problem with prisons, they’re quite easy to seal.

This project has been waiting patiently for me to finish it for about a week now.I was going to gussy it up a bit more, but, since Thanksgiving is just a few days away, I decided to call it done without any extra bling.

It was summer hot today, a perfect afternoon to get some "heat" practice in, so I rode 20 miles starting a little after 3 in the afternoon. Took water with me, which was a good move.

I think it is so funny that on my Craft-a-long post the number one word used in the comments is "organized" because if you all saw my room and the fact that I've been meaning to do my laundry since Tuesday.

Well, it was both a relief and a little sad to set free the first dozen altered cats this morning.
