Today I took the stray cat that came to our house, and then came into our home (and hearts), to the vet for a check up and to be neutered. He was coming around out house since summer time, and as the weather got cooler, we got hime a cat house with a heated floor. Then one snowy day he came to our b...

I like it when I'm organized...it seems the world flows better (at least I think it does!). It really helps to organize my art supplies, in particular. Then I know the material that I want is right 'there!' I did this with my acrylic paints (which included full bodied acrylics and fluid acrylics). B...

 I hope this finds you well. coming into the second week of January. Quattro (the stray cat we took in) is adjusting fairly well. I have an appointment on the 12th (Thursday) to see if he is chipped, check out his overall health and get him fixed. I hope by getting him fixed he will no long get on t...

Have you ever bought a calendar for the new year? You know the fancy kind that is specialized in one way or another... amazing images, for keeping track of family activities or a small day calendar with quotes. In the past I have gotten a door, "see the entire year" calendar. I've also had a daily c...

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...
