Welcome to #ThirdDegreeThursday ! Some people to relax, watch television. I do that every now and again, but mostly you will find me either reading a book or creating something. I like to read non-fiction books that are either art related, business or the well-being/soulfulness genre. Lately, I h...

Happy New Year!! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable holiday season! Mine was very quiet, as we stayed home. Despite the quietness, a little spice was added by taking in a stray from outside. He had been coming around our house since the summer and we even had a little heated (floor) house for hi...

Not everyone likes to go to the dentist. Heck, a LOT of people don't like going to the dentist. However, this dentist changed the game for me. Her name is Dr. Eileen Jang. I've been going to see her for years...and years. She was brought to my attention from Ron Watson (now Dr. Ron Watson), who was ...

In life accidents happen. Yesterday, a tooth, that must have been weakened, a portion of it fell out. Suheel has had some dental work done and he's had to wait for an appointment for months. I was thinking it was going to be the same for me. well, lady luck was on my side, and I was able to get in t...

Journals are exciting. The blank pages are ripe with creative possibilities. Starting a new journal is, I find, a happy occasion. I think of all the future creations and thoughts scribbled down. I am finding myself excited about this new Ranger Ink Dylusions Creative Journal, because it is a differe...

There are books that are good because it is enjoyed by the reader and because it satisfies the question the reader had. The book "How to Write Copy That Sells" by Ray Edwards does both. I am about halfway through this 163 paged book and find it an easy read, because the author explains things so wel...

Today's #WednesdayWins is the warmer weather today. Yesterday was -30, I believe, and it was biting cold. When I went out today, it felt like it was spring (I think it was -5)! Clearly, it isn't, but one can always dream!

The reason I am thankful for the warmer weather is for all those without a ho...

"Tis the season of bright lights and colours. This #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques is perfect with its glorious colours. The Arteza 24 pan of metallic watercolours is just so beautiful. It has the regular metallics such as Gold, Copper, Bronze and Silver. But then it has made up metals of Watermelon Pink...

Makena (my cat) scared me while I filmed this video. I was talking about this week's #FridayFinds and he jumped from his perch, on to the table, and startled me. All he wanted to see was what I was talking about! I was talking about Jo Malone candles for this week's #FridayFinds. This is the most be...

Kind people make a difference. They can do something nice, give you a smile, open the door or etc.. Today It is snowing and very cold (-29 with windchill) and the sidewalk and driveway need to be done.. We have a big corner lot and with it we have a large corner lot sidewalk. To my surprise, I heard...

Does someone on your Christmas list want some watercolours? This set, that I am about to share, was a quality set that i had my high school students use. The set is called "Prang;" they sell tempera paint and watercolour sets (the tempera was of good quality as well). I used the Prang watercolour 8-...
