New Chapter


One upon a time I did something else, now I am making plans to do something new.
New chapter, new chances for growth.

Joys of Moving


The joys of moving mean that you get to clean out your pantry, and perhaps find some yummy graham crackers. 


It turns out that they do not taste very good when they are almost six years past the best-by-date. In fact they smelled so stale that a square made it to my lips just under my nose and I cringed away.


Good to know that the local Fred Meyer's store has plenty of fresh and tasty graham crackers in stock.

Happy moving day for both of our sons. Thanks for letting us join in on all the fun. Another good weekend in Fairbanks making memories together.

Project Three ~ Reflection


Today we turn in project three, shadows and reflections. I was able to experiment using the classroom airbrush to enhance the flowers reflection, it is a fun tool. I can see the attraction for using an airbrush to produce watercolor paintings. 

We have one more project that is focused around texture, and a final project which needs to be painted on a full sheet of the fancy French cotton paper, 30 inches x 23 inches. Any and all ideas are welcomed.

Moments of Change


There is a moment in time when everything changes, when a belief you thought you knew as truth becomes unfamiliar. Grab hold of this moment of growth as you just might become the best version of yourself to date.

International Language



The international language of play. We all own it, possess it, and live to be part of the kinship. Laughter and harmony, one with who we are on the inside.

Items are Promises


"Items are promises, promises of someday when." A day when the stars align and everything in life will be a fulfillment of those peaceful daydreams, a perfect picture of happiness. That is the day to un-package that item you have been saving. That something for someday.

Make today that someday. Take that something out of the package, off the shelf, or from the back of the closet and use it, drink it, light it, and enjoy today.
