A Little R and R at the Hall of Fame
Hello all, I’m headed to Canton, Ohio to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame and dear family. So proud of my uncle David who is President and Executive Director of the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame. I’m proud of how hard he works, how intelligent he is and all that he accomplishes but above all and most of all . . . I am proud of just who he is. He is an amazing kind, loving, generous wonderful man and I can’t wait to be hugged by this 6’9″ gentle man. He moved from California to Ohio in January. Miss him so much.

Throwback Thursday – Window of the Soul Art Journal Tags Tour
It’s Throwback Thursday of a different kind. I’m adding content I previously lost . . . of some oldies (videos, tutorials, projects). ADD PHOTOS OF TAGS This one here . . . several years ago I taught a different kind of book club class. We would read a chapter or two of this awesome book by Ken Gire called Windows on the Soul, convene together, talk about what we learned, I’d teach a technique on a tag and then we’d each create an art journal page with portions of the book that spoke to us. This is a little tour of the tags I created for the class/techniques I…

Right Now Monday, Love Will (The Power of Love)
Right Now, this Monday . . . I feel the Power of Love. The Power of Love is an incredible thing. I recently was thinking about all the ways people have loved us through our challenges the last couple years. I was pondering and asking how I’ve loved others. Then I began to think about the ‘Power of Love‘. Yes, those of you in my generation probably hear Huey Lewis singing the words . . . the Power of Love. As seen on YouTube here. But seriously, I was thinking about how someone knowing they are truly loved, it can change a life. An action, (not just words), can move someone…

Right Now Monday – Be True to You
Right Now, Today, This Monday . . . Right Now . . . today, I am focusing on the importance of caring for myself and being true to me. So often, we think that caring for ourselves is selfish. Well, it’s not. We need to care for ourselves so that we in turn can be better friends, parents, employees, spouses . . . whatever role we fill. We aren’t of any help to others around us if we aren’t healthy. I’m speaking to myself here but possibly it will be something that speaks to your heart. Right Now, taking care of and being true to myself involves; Set safe and healthy boundaries.…

Treasures ~ In Life and Found at the Lovely Vintage Marketplace
I hope you enjoyed the video and coming on a little field trip of vintage bliss with me. If you missed that you can see more here. With all the hardwork that Rita, Christy and all the vendors do to provide such a lovely experience . . . I wanted to just give a little lovely to say thank you for all she does but most important for who she is. I had earned some money from a bracelet I created/sold as well as some ‘magazine publication’ funds. I was on a budget but oh the lovely steals I found. To those vintage labels I’ll be adding a tag that reads…

A Day of Beauty and Friendship * Vintage Marketplace Tour
Hello dear ones, I believe you’ve seen me share here about a very talented and sweet friend Rita Reade. Rita and Christy Repasy began the Vintage Marketplace several years ago and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing it grow. It used to be a part of a Barn Sale hop at Christy’s house and then it moved to Rainbow. These grounds turn into a bit of vintage heaven. Rita, Christy (who organize the event) and the vendors share their unique goods, gifts, talents, time and sweet personalities. They are a beautiful group. Rita is a dear and talented lady! She is sweet, thoughtful and vibrant and I’m grateful to know…

Right Now Monday * Hope & Happy Labor Day
Yes, another Monday and Right now on this Labor Day I am resting, physically and in the assurance of the HOPE in my heart. HOPE is always a great journaling prompt. For me recently, HOPE has touched my heart. HOPE that; Everything is going to be okay. That healing is taking place. Is vital for the future. Encourages and spurs us on. That there are new beginnings despite things not working the way we thought. Whether you are a person of faith or not, I am, HOPE is a necessity. I am encouraged by something a very wise man shared long ago, ‘Rejoice in HOPE, be patient in tribulation, be constant…

Right Now Monday: Be Kind to Unkind People, They Need It The Most
Wow . . . I read this statement earlier in the week and didn’t know it would ring so true. It was posted (and then reposted) by a radio station. It especially made sense when I had an experience (and opportunity) to be kind to an unkind person. If you don’t mind reading for a moment . . . one of you may need to hear what came to mind as I experienced a very angry and unkind individual. But this presented an opportunity. I was headed to meet my daughter and mom. I entered a very busy shopping center and found an individual that was getting ready to leave. I…
