A New Blog Design

Have you noticed the new blog design here, ahem…ahem? On a whim I decided to upload it already! I’ve been working on it in the background and wanted to stop tinkering. All new and fresh for 2012, although I realize there’s still a whole lot to take in.

Looking for Direction…

Recently, I offered my thoughts for the transition to a new year on the Scoutie Girl blog along with other creatives - how do you end the year and start another?

Don’t Be Afraid To Share Your Knowledge

I often feel hesitant to write up a tutorial or share a bit of knowledge on the blog. Why so, you ask? Often it’s just a little thought, so I think it’s too simple.

Going Big and Thinking About Content

You might have already seen some peeks, but I wanted to show y’all my big painting that is now hanging in the corner…in eye’s view as I work away at my desk.

Last week, I just went into the zone and started slapping paint on canvas in a completely loose and unplanned fashion. I probably … See the full post »

A Day In History

I woke up this morning to this news…

You can print out a copy of the speech from the White House blog. I also saw this tweet about how Hitler was also confirmed dead on May 1st. Coincidence?
