This month I re-entered the MetaFilter card swap to force myself back into creating cards. I knew that I wanted my June cards to have rainbows on them because of Pride and also who doesn’t love rainbows? They mean many…
Good and Meh 2024: Week 4
Good Things: It was a good week for a list-maker, because I crossed almost everything off of my list each day. Once the big thaw started to happen, Murphy and I were able to start taking good walks again. I…
December and January cards
My December holiday cards this year featured a stamp set I bought a few years ago and didn’t use: It’s called Merry Beachy Christmas and features Santa in a tropical setting. I used blue and yellowish inks to “paint” the…
Friday 5: Stolen 5
Happy Friday, which is also National Pharmacist Day (hello, BvP!) and National Marzipan Day. It is also the day I received my driver’s license in 1990. And my friend Brian Z’s birthday. I just returned home from giving blood. One…
The Up model house

Holiday Cards 2020
(blogged while listening to John Denver & The Muppets: A Christmas Together) I enjoy sending and receiving cards for the holiday. It’s an old-timey habit that I really thought was dying out a few years back. Turns out, you just…
Friday (Sunday?) 5: Korea Guidance
Firstly, check out this gloriousness: Embed from Getty Images Look at this! Getty Images lets you embed their work on your unprofitable blog now! Actually they started it in 2014 but it’s news to me! Our US Curling boys brought…
Stupid beading tricks – Save a horse, wear a necklace
I know, that makes no sense. I had a horse pendant sitting in my brown bead box for almost two years. I’m not a horse person, but I know someone who is. What’s funny is that I look at the…
Chief Diva in charge
In a terrifying turn of events, I was put in charge of the office while most of our coworkers are gone at our organization’s Annual meeting. One of our Drexel Co-ops made this sign for me, which makes it official….
