Marilyn's Birthday

We invited a few friends over to celebrate Marilyn's birthday.

Of course the Grandkids stole the show.

The grandkids sure do love their Aunt Bethany.

Merrilyn is hanging on to Bethany.

Of course the seasoned veteran's are talking shop.

Angela gives Hayden a finger (not THE finger)

I must say that all of the siblings made some great food. I am surrounded by great cooks.

Ty and Lily are playing in the sandbox.

Hayden and Heartlee took a moment off from texting to pose for a photo.

Friends sit and talk about how things used to be...........

Dessie and Kathe enjoying the fall decorations.

Of course, Bob and Fei Fei had a great time.

What we love about Arizona is the beautiful sunsets. It made the evening just perfect.

Happy Birthday Marilyn!

There was another addition to Marilyn's family, here is little Ruby. Of course Marilyn calls it Ruby Star....but rest assured it will answer to Ruby. The puppy came from Angela's dog Sadie's litter. Ruby's father is Morgan and Shawna's dog Cola, so this dog really is family. What a cute little pup!

Institute of Direct Marketing Business-to-Business Marketing Conference 2010

Friday, May 21st, 2010

This week’s Institute of Direct Marketing B2B Marketing Conference threw up a few thoughts and anecdotes, as usual. In answering the questions “Why bother with marketing”, Professor Paul Fifield from the University of Southampton suggested that seeking-out and identifying customer value through a number of approaches is they key. One of these approaches includes ensuring the organisation achieves alignment with the market by generating insight and reacting rapidly to it.

The theme of rapid reaction, and what I like to call agility, came up again in the session from Vodafone’s Head of Devices, Online and Campaigns, Deane McIntyre. Referring to the recent ash-cloud crisis, he described the campaign he and his team were able to rapidly put together and execute, thanks to their marketing automation platform and flexible processes. This ability to react is very much what I have in mind when I talk about creating a marketing environment that enables and encourages innovation, rather than leaving Marketing wondering how they’re going to get the job done.

I was also amused by Deane’s comment regarding inserting a degree of opacity around the Marketing process as far as Sales are concerned. “Don’t show Sales the engine,” he said, referring to the processes and systems used by Marketing to run campaigns and generate leads. Whilst transparency is generally the best approach, I’m always saying that, for instance, it’s best not to send Sales all the leads so they don’t get the opportunity to crititise the poor ones. A certain obfuscation never goes amiss I was less impressed though with his admission that he tended to undertake limited measurement of marketing activity, in favour of “just doing it”. And this from a former accountant!

Matthew Palmer from Deloitte was less sanguine about measurement (as you might expect from a big consultancy), with advice for Marketing on engaging with Finance. This included ensuring budgets are actively agreed together to encourage buy-in and developing easy metrics to demonstrate success. He also suggested explaining why budget is being spent a certain way and linking outcomes to corporate targets – which after all, should be the point of Marketing, right?! In addition, some advice regarding making cuts in spending were he offered, including the avoidance of simply reducing all line items by the same percentage. Instead, examine what really can be done-without and what needs to be retained at full strength, he suggested.

A good day as always and well worth the investment in time.

EDUC 1300 - Mendiola, Emma: Career Research & Peer Reviewed Articles

Students will find and evaluate sources for their career project and explore tools to find scholarly peer reviewed articles on student success topics.

Research as Inquiry

Students will understand that research is a process of inquiry.

This activity will help you practice the following skills essential to your success in school and beyond. In this activity you will:

S1. monitor gathered information and assess for gaps and weaknesses

S2. draw reasonable conclusions based on the analysis and interpretation of information

This activity will also help you become familiar with the following important content knowledge:

K1. consider research as open-ended exploration and engagement with information

K2. seek multiple perspectives during information gathering and assessment

  1. Get out a sheet of paper and write your career at the top.
  2. Let's find the LibGuide for your course.
  3. Search for your career in the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
  4. Collect and write down 3 types of information: 1 job responsibility (that either surprises you or one that you would want to just share with someone unfamiliar with the career), the pay, and the job outlook. [7 min]
  5. Turn to your nearest neighbor and share! [2 min]
  6. Whole class shout-outs and discussion: Did anyone have any responsibilities that surprised them? How many careers were in the $400K or more pay range? $100K? $60K? Why are these careers in those ranges? How many careers had a job outlook of over 20%? 17%? 12%? Why is the outlook different for these careers? [10 min]
  7. Now search for your career in either O*Net or Ferguson's. Fact check the information you gathered from OOH. Write notes on whether you're finding the same information or different information. [7min]
  8. Turn to your neighbor again and share what you found to be the same or different! [2 min]
  9. Whole class shout-outs and discussion: How many of you found different information? Why should we look in different tools? Where does this information come from? [10 min]
  10. Quick show of hands on which tool you liked best: OOH? Ferguson's?/O*Net?
  11. Raise your hand if you think searching in multiple tools is a good idea! Yay!

Dr. Raymond Tice received his Ph.D. in biology from Johns Hopkins University, in 1976. After receiving his PhD he was employed by the Medical Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York from 1976 to 1988, and by Integrated Laboratory Sciences Inc. of, Durham, North Carolina from 1988 to 2005, where his last position was as Senior Vice-President for Research and Development. He joined National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in 2005 as the Deputy Director of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM) and in 2008 was promoted to Chief of the Biomolecular Screening Branch. Dr. Tice has played a key role in the establishing the Toxicology in the 21st Century (Tox21) program.

Dr. Richard Paules received his Ph.D. in Pathology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) in 1984. He holds appointments as Adjunct Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Adjunct Member of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at UNC-CH. He also serves as Associate Editor of Physiological Genomics and BMC Genomics and serves on the editorial review board of Environmental Heath Perspectives. Dr. Paules currently directs the Toxicogenomics and Genetics Group and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Molecular Genomics Core within the Laboratory of Toxicology and Pharmacology.

The seminar given by Dr. Tice and Dr. Paules focused on the “Toxicology in the 21st Century Partnership” (or “Tox21”). Launched in 2007, Tox21 is a U.S. multiagency collaborative effort involving the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)/National Toxicology Program (NTP), the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) National Center for Computational Toxicology, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Tox21 was formed in response to the fact that are tens of thousands of chemicals in our daily life that we have minimal understanding of potential toxic effects on humans. The goal of Tox21 is to develop more efficient and less time-consuming approaches to predict how chemicals may affect human health, leading to better regulations and treatments in cases of exposure.

Dr. Tice introduced past toxicity practices and the history of Tox21. Traditionally, toxicity evaluation relied heavily on testing in laboratory animals, which is generally slow, expensive, and hard to translate the results from animals to humans. Tox21 Phase I is called “Proof of Principle” phase, where the focus was on the developing and validating high-throughput (robotics platform), and cell-based testing methods to ensure that they reduce, refine, or replace the use of animals. There are about 1,100 known cellular pathways in humans. The goal of Tox21 Phase I to determine the potential for human harm from chemicals, based on how and to what extent they interact with various toxicity pathways. In Tox21 Phase II, scientists expanded the amount of compounds used for screening. In NCATS quantitative high throughput screening project, there was a library of 10,000 compounds screened 3 times at 15 different concentrations. In EPA’s ToxCast™ program, there were about 700 compounds screened in 700 different assays, and an additional 1000 compounds screened in endocrine activity assays.

Dr. Paules introduced the present and the future directions of the Tox21 program. Phase III of the Tox21 program has focused on increasing the use of computational models to predict toxicity and metabolism. Also, in this Phase, efforts are underway to develop a high throughput transcriptomics platform that maps the changes in RNA levels in biological pathways that when perturbed result in adverse cellular effects.  This approach will be used in human, rat, mouse, and zebrafish studies. Tox21 Phase III also continues to utilize zebrafish and C. elegans model systems to better understand the biological effects of compound exposure on whole animals, with particular focus on behavioral and developmental assays.

SAGE sat down with Dr. Tice and Dr. Paules to ask a few more questions…

Q: If Tox21 finds chemicals that we are currently using have previously unknown safety issues, what would be the follow up action?

RT: What we do is we publish the data and make the data available to the people who make regulatory decisions. These individuals can then go to the company and say, “we are concerned about this compound because of this data, so you must now demonstrate that the compound is safe”. This is only has been occurring in the last five years. Before that there was nothing.

Q: How did Tox21 come about?

RT: In 2004 the National Toxicology Program (NTP) released a roadmap for the future. Part of that roadmap was to move toxicology from looking at toxicology in animals to a mechanistic based, high-throughput program. In 2004 I was working at NIEHS and because I have experience in in vitro assays they wanted me to help implement this new program. The deputy director for NTP and the head of the NIH Chemical Genomic Center were setting up a new robotics platform to do high-throughput toxicity screening. To evaluate this high-throughput screen we sent them 1406 compounds. The EPA started a program called ToxCast™ at the same time, allowing for collaboration on running these assays. In 2007 the U.S. National Academy report on “Toxicology in 21st Century” came out, helping us formalize our screening process. In 2010, the FDA joined the Tox21 consortium.

oil spill disperasants

Q: Can you give me some examples on how Tox21 can contribute to regulatory decisions?

RT: Initially there was some skepticism about the Tox21 program, but the gulf oil spill in 2010 really pushed the program forward. The clean-up crews were putting dispersants in the water and EPA needed toxicological data on the dispersants as soon as possible. With Tox21, EPA received the data they wanted in two weeks and used the data to make a regulatory decision. Another example is the EPA “Endocrine Disruption” program. The EPA was mandated by Congress to evaluate whether chemicals can interfere with the endocrine (or hormone) system in mammals.  Tox21/ToxCast assays are being used to screen suspected compounds. A third example is that Tox21 tests were included in a battery of tests used to evaluate the toxicity of the chemicals in the 2014 West Virginia Elk River spill.

Q: Does Tox21 take drug-drug interaction into concern?

RT: Included in the Tox21 screening effort are a number of herbal compounds so we can evaluate complex chemical combinations. Also included among the 10000 compound library are a number of formulations as well as each individual component. By screening this library we can better understand how they interact with each other.

RP: Each of the federal partners of Tox21 has different focus. EPA has a major focus on endocrine system disrupters. NIEHS and NTP have priority concerns with environmental safety chemicals. Pharmacological compound are of interest to NCATS, as they are more drug-oriented.

Q: Can you use the exiting data to predict the behavior of a new chemical?

RT: When we run each assay, we also develop a quantitative structure–activity relationship model (QSAR) (which is a computational tool to predict chemicals’ behavior based on their structures). As an example, remember the Elk River chemical spill in West Virginia? There was very little information about these compounds in the water. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) asked NTP to do an initial immediate analysis. We were able to leverage the initial studies of the QSAR model combined with our high-throughput and zebra fish data, to provide a timely report on the compounds in the chemical spill. This allowed us to establish a safety level of exposure on many of these compounds.

We moved to Indian Creek to get away from the party music that will boom out all Friday and Saturday night at Falmouth harbour.

After topping off our water tanks at the marina [- boy was I nervous as I manouvered around multi million dollar mega yachts! ] we headed out past the splendid copper stripe that marks the entrance to Falmouth.

We snuck in past the magnificent estate [$14million] owned by the rock icon Eric Clapton.

We parked ourselves in the inner pool which we have had to ourselves most of the time except for the pelicans and one white heron who fish around us all day.

The snorkeling has been excellent in the outer part of the harbour.

Mind you this barracuda did a quick 'drive by' checking us out.

Just a reminder that it is a fish eat fish world down here.

However best of all is the peace, perfect peace we enjoy at night. Serenity is a thing greater than money.

remembering Gabe

It's hard to believe it has been a year since my young brother-in-law left this earth. People still find this blog by googling his name. He is missed by many, many people. Katy and the boys are doing really well. I'm so proud of my baby sister, the strong woman she has become.

If you're a new reader and would like to know what I'm talking about, please click here.

Gabe was all about Down syndrome awareness. He was one of Stella's godparents, and his little brothers Levi and Eric were some of the first kids with Down syndrome that our family got to know. His mom called me in the hospital the day Stella was born to offer her support.

Typing through tears. Gotta go now.

This is the 5th part of the story the 1970 tank accident that I began on July 26 and continued on July 28, 29, & 31.

“And what did you do in Italy?”

The recovery room nurse was talking to a doctor. They were sharing stories of their madcap vacations. I was in no mood to eavesdrop. I was tired, hungry, and in pain.

After the wire sutures had been placed in my leg, I was transfered onto another damned wobbly gurney and rolled into the recovery room. My leg throbbed with pain: the local anesthetic never did kick in fully. Even though the nurse and doctor were less than twenty feet from me, I couldn’t get their attention.

I also couldn’t rest. The ceiling lights were the brightest I have ever encountered other than the million plus candle-power searchlight on Backache, the M60A1 Patton tank whose steel hand grenade box had cut this 11-inch wound in my left leg. I would close my eyes—and the light was still there. I would pull sheet over my face—and the light was still there. It was irritating and spoiled any chance of sleep.

Not only were my eyes under attack from those ceiling lights, but my ears were, too, from the moaning and howling of the guy in the bed next to me. He had had an operation on his legs for varicose veins. He was evidently in great pain—obviously more pain than me. And like me, the newly-tanned-from-their-vacations doctor and nurse were more interested in discussing their leaves that responding to us two soldiers who were in pain.

Besides my eyes and ears being assaulted, I was also hungry—very hungry! At that point in this misadventure I had no idea what time it was or how long it had been since I had breakfasted. I did not even know if it were day or night. I did know that my stomach was shrieking for food.

The doctor finally finished telling the story of his trip to Italy and the nurse her story of her leave somewhere on the Mediterranean coast. She came to the side of my bed and handed me two pills in a small paper cup along with a cup of water in the same size paper cup.

“Take these,” she said.

“I’m hungry,” I said

“The kitchen is closed,” she said.

I took the pills. I don’t know what they were, but when I awakened several hours later, the guy wailing from the varicose vain operation was no longer in the bed beside me. A couple of male orderlies were sliding me onto another bloody gurney, and I was wheeled to the officers’ ward of the hospital.

“I’m hungry,” I said to the ward nurse.

“We didn’t know you were coming,” she said. “So we didn’t order a breakfast for you.”

Again I said, “I’m hungry.”

And the nurse handed me two pills in a small paper cup along with a cup of water in the same size paper cup.

“What the hell,” I thought, “with dope like this, who needs food?”

Yes, the story will continue.

Laterbrunnen (Swiss Alps, Switzerland)

19 – 20 July 2010

Between heaven and earth

Having made quick stops at Lichtenstein and Lucerne we made our way through magnificent mountain ranges to the picturesque town of Lauterbrunnen in time for dinner, a quick walk and sleep.

[pe2-gallery class=”alignright” ] Arriving Camping Jungfrau-7.JPGGoing up Jungfrau Mountain-1.JPGGoing up Jungfrau Mountain-7.JPG[/pe2-gallery]

For our full day in Switzerland most of us took the optional excursion up the Jungfraubahnen mountain railway to the highest cogwheel railway station in all of Europe (First finished in 1912). Just the idea of climbing to 3,500 metres above sea level on a train is impressive, however it got even more impressive when I realised how many kilometres of tunnels the rail line passes through, and lastly there is the view and buildings at the top; it’s pretty cool.

At the top of the railway they had the usual tourist bullshit; cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops, but they also had something called the ‘ice cave’. You know you’re close to the ‘ice cave’ when you feel the temperature drop a few degrees, proceed through a long ice tunnel and you find various caverns with various ice sculptures. It’s very cool.

From the station there is a lift which takes you up a further hundred metres or so to an observation deck called the Sphinx lookout which provides more stunning views and also houses scientific equipment which makes use of the particularly clean air in Switzerland at this height. I saw a ‘spark chamber’ which was used in an experiment to prove Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity (1905).

Having ‘done’ the ice cave, and the Sphinx observatory it was time for some fun in the snow. Outside the Jungfrau station complex there is a sledding slope and tubing course making use of the permanent snow. But before ‘playing around’ I settled down on the snow and downed a beer and some whiskey accompanied by Swiss Chocolate. For the loyal followers of my blog I even wrote a few words – at three and a half thousand metres above sea level!

A little while later I started feeling adventurous again so Katherine and I decided to see where a snowy trail went. Wow, it didn’t look like a hard path when we set off but with the soft snow and thin air it turned out to be bloody hard going. The thin air mixed with alcohol certainly wasn’t helping and all my supplies (I only ever carry essentials) were starting to feel heavier: 1.5L water, bottle of Whiskey, laptop computer, clothing and chocolate.  We were under time pressure to get back for dinner and the difficulty surprised me, I actually needed to stop frequently to catch my breath. We made it up [to the top], took some photos and rushed back down to catch the train in time for dinner. Well worth it even with freezing wet feet.

Later that night we had a ‘Ken & Barbie’ themed party. Enough with the themed parties already.

SASPC October 2017 Challenge - Part One

Servus, hi and welcome to part one of our monthly steampunk and industrial style challenge! Time to kick off the first round of inspirational projects created by my wonderful design team and lure you into creating another steampunk and/or industrial style project so you can play along!
This month's challenge is once more an

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

Last month's entries were - once again - just amazing and the team and I will - once again - have a hard time picking our favourites for our Top5...and I am sure - as always - there will be a lot of close follower ups. You all rock our challenges so amazingly each time and I am so proud and happy that you share your fab makes with me and the team and our blog readers and players so constantly! Thank you all so much for being part of this!

So watch out during the next weeks...there's more to come. The first boozybear special can be visited by clicking HERE.  The next boozybear post will go live in a week or so.
Glenda - boozybear designer and owner - is giving away a surprise steampunk chipboard package to one randomly drawn winner each month and it could for example look like this...

And there's our second prize for another randomly drawn winner each month - this fab bundle of DecoArt media goodies:

All you have to do to win is play along and enter a project! (and of course follow the few challenge rules we have).
A propos...the prize winners and Top5 from our September challenge will be announced next Saturday, 7th October (alongside with our second boozybear feature)!

I have to share the gorgeous cover to my next historical romance novel, which I pray will release this June. This is assuming all the edits run smoothly and nothing goes wrong! In the meantime, here's the unveiling of the cover, and a book jacket description so you can have some idea of what this book is about! I give ALL the credit to my amazing book cover designer, Roseanna White. She was able to implement everything I asked, even the royal-blue color for the dress! Her gorgeous design is what I believe will sell this book. I know, I know. They say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." But people DO! And she makes my book look good!

I just hope the inside of this book meets the expectations that this cover evokes!

Nathaniel Ward, wealthy entrepreneur, needs a wife. But he’s not interested in the preening, high-society women who are offered to him on a silver platter. He wants one woman, and one woman alone—a girl he met on the streets in Colorado when he was destitute after escaping the Great Chicago Fire that took his family. He sets out to find this woman and discovers she’s unattached. There’s only one problem, a shotgun wedding may be able to bind them, but will he ever be able to win her heart?

Amelia E. Taylor blows a kiss to a street rat. Little did she know that kiss would follow her years later to Green Pines, Colorado. When a handsome stranger arrives in her hometown, she guards her heart from the stirrings this man ignites. Despite society’s disapproval of spinsterhood, she is determined not to marry, having witnessed first hand the lack of love and horrors that accompany marriage. But will a shotgun wedding reveal the blessings that can arise out of the ashes?

425 Million IP Connected Devices in U.S. Homes

425 Million IP Connected Devices in U.S. Homes

socialmediatoday.com | Jan 14th 2013

It's estimated that there are 425 million devices connected to the Internet in U.S. homes, according to the latest market study by The NPD Group. They found that while personal computers are still the primary connected device, numerous others are diminishing the PC’s relevance to the broadband content marketplace.

This trend is being fueled by devices such as gaming consoles and blu-ray disc players adding to the number of Internet connected HDTVs -- and direct IP connectivity to a Smart TV set.

Strong consumer retail sales in developing categories -- such as tablets and smartphones -- are also impacting the traditional PC’s share of Internet connected devices.

By the end of 2013, a shift towards more screen-sharing across devices is expected. Smaller screens such as the smartphone have the greatest reach now with an estimated 133 million users -- with tablets contributing another 31.8 million screens.

The development of the shared screen experience, by diverting content from a smaller screen to the TV, is converging device ecosystems and will allow for over-the-top (OTT) content to become even more prominent on the TV.

"Mobile is adding another dimension powered by screen sharing technologies that allows users to project their tablet or smartphone onto their TV," said John Buffone, director at The NPD Group.

Through 2013, multi-screen and multi-device synergy will lead the growth in the broader connected device market, but only if services consumers desire are delivered in a simplistic manner.

In this connected world, content providers and consumer technology OEMs need to determine the optimal mix of services and have them on the right devices.

More than 4,000 U.S. consumers, age 18 and older were surveyed in the fourth quarter of 2012 for the NPD study. The number of installed and internet connected devices includes those that deliver broadband applications such as computers, tablets, smartphones, HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc Players, video game consoles, and streaming media set top boxes.

"All that bugs me..." - Insects (AE June theme challenge)

This months theme challenge at Art Elements (AE) was given by Diana Ptaszynksi: Insects. What a perfect topic for me and actually one that came up quite often in my work. Bet it the use of beetle wings in my jewelery or paintings or handcarved stamps.

It is a long time ago since I carved my own stamps. But since I love monoprinting, mixed media and handmade books, I wanted some bigger motives to use. I also had some new rubber carving material to try out (the blue "stuff" and new being relative meaning unopened but lying around for a long time). I love carving rubber because I don't need a press to get good impressions. But in the past I used real rubbers (to hard or stable to really carve well) or a rubber carving material at my craft supply store (at that time the only available but it sadly crumbles a lot).

What shall I say? I love it! It is smooth and easy to carve and IT DOES NOT CRUMBLE! The "crumbling" problem was one of the reasons I stopped carving my own stamps - to frustrating and heartbreaking. The motives of course insects, in this case I started with a beetle.

Here you see my reference image. I actually cut it out in the desired size and draw the silhouette on my stamp to have some guidelines. You could also use some copy paper but test it first with the rubber. The one I had didn't work at all on the rubber surface while it worked perfectly on paper.

And printed on a colorful background (MDF) with black archival ink. Since the background was quite dark I used some coloured pencils to draw around and play a little bit with it.

Just look at the background, love it!

In my carving process I stop in between and stamp the image just to get an overall impression and see where I still have to change something.

With a lot of background and the wings not finished...

Nearly finished but with some broken lines I didn't like. Take care to really stop in between. I know myself, after the first rough carving I need a break (or start another one) and leave the fine details for another day. Never ever worked out if I did it all in one go.

Of course I also had to test them with ceramic clay. They leave a nice impression.

I only smoothed out the outer areas where you would see the carved background lines and a little bit in the middle.

Both will be decorative tiles (I think).

They are still drying but I am so curious how they will turn out. I will add some black underglaze to highlight the details (not covering the whole stamped image) and am thinking about a transparent glaze on the insect and an opaque around. What also could be interesting is to add some graphic designs on the background. Mh... still thinking...

After I got my love for carving back I thought also to give linocuts another try. Our professional art supply store takes care to only provide fresh linoleum for carving since it gets hard and brittle after some time.

It is still in progress but I am surprised how easy and nice it was to carve (also way cheaper than the blue rubber "stuff"). There are differences but I just need some training to adjust. Oh, and better tools...  but that is a wish for nearly any technique, nai? *sighs*

Also I don't have a printing press and just with hand pressure it really doesn't print as well as the rubber ones. But I'll see if I can somehow adjust a little bit. All these prints are still test prints in between just to see how the carving comes along.

You know, I have a lot of my own stamps and I was thinking to show you my older insect stamps made with different rubber materials. I also love to see how my own abilities evolved (or are not so restricted anymore with problematic materials? Who knows ;) ).

So I went to have a look and thought, oh well, why not show you my whole collections? Here it is! (there could be some smaller ones be missing but then I wouldn't even know where to start looking for them).

As you see I used every tiny wee bit! I so loved the big dragon fly image but sadly it crumbled (right side). It is a good material for stamps like the birds and leaves (top row, middle image) because they don't have small areas but are rather massive. But I am handling my octopus stamp with the most utter care!

And I nearly forgot my pegasus, and my tree, and my spider, and my little owl, and my flower....! I definitely need to use them all again somehow! I hope I am not the only one sometimes forgetting the little treasures in their stash.

As a last impression: Here are all my other insect stamps I made a long time ago. As a reference I stamped the little beetle on my finger nail too.

Diana, thank you so much for this theme, it was perfect for me!
Now please have a look what everybody else made!

Do You Believe?

santa 6Ah, Santa.

What do we do with Santa Claus?   Jolly ‘ol Saint Nick.

Some people don’t believe we should propagate the fantasy with kids, some people are neutral, some people go full-tilt fantasy as long as their kids keep believing and then some (*raises hand*).

I’d like to make a case for Santa.  After all, he’s WAY too busy today to speak on his own behalf.

This year, my little girl is right on the cusp of belief and disbelief.  It’s definitely the last Christmas I can pull off the fantasy.  So, I enlisted the help of my dad (an excellent storyteller) to tell the kids about the origins and evolution of Santa Claus…to drive home all those smooshy feelings that keep you choosing to believe in something, even when the evidence is beginning to outweigh the power of imagination.

santa 4Turns out the REAL story of St. Nick is the story of love, kindness, and helping those in need.  Isn’t that a story we can ALL get behind?

santa 1The original Saint Nicholas, who was later made Bishop and mimicked by countless other secret night-time gift-givers, was so convicted about giving to the needy and providing money, food, and toys to children who had nothing, that it caught on.  Talk about a trend worth following!

Whether you’re spiritual/religious or not, the idea of showing basic human kindness to others is something everyone can agree on.

So, the question isn’t really whether you ‘agree’ with Santa, it’s – are you on board with our modern-day take on him?

santa 8And, yes, I admit, the idea has morphed into a more materialistic chase that frustrates even the unbreakable Christmas spirit in me, at times.  But, we don’t have to let it BE that.  Instead of surrendering to the greediness that can be bred by the Santa story, we can use the idea of Father Christmas to do two things:

1.  Enjoy the gift of creativity and imagination.  There is such beautiful artistry in a great story.  Think of the delicious elements of a timeless fairy tale…   The way we weave the best aspects of the known world we can think of – pleasure, love, good winning over evil, bravery, sacrifice, etc., along with the supernatural or impossibly wonderful – (i.e. magic) – into a narrative that fills us with wonder… is there anything better?santa 5

You do this on a small scale – all the time.  Even bah-humbug grown-ups make up miniature fantasies anytime we WISH traffic would just part and make way for us to scurry home, or we close our eyes for a milisecond in hopes that that guy will call us back after a date, or we hope, beyond all reason that it’ll be sunny even when the weather channel says there’s a 100% chance of rain on a special day.  We WANT there to be MAGIC.  It’s in our nature to yearn for fantasy.  It’s why stories and movies like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are so popular!

Passing this on to our children is a gift.  The gift of creativity and the gift of WONDER.  Teaching them that there is a possibility ….that there exists the tiniest crack in reality that …COULD be magical.
That COULD be other-worldly…
it not only stirs their imagination, but it breeds hope.

2.  Appreciate the thrill of anonymous giving.  The anonymity that exists in the legend – that is, the fact that you don’t get CREDIT for the gift – gives it a another layer of honest goodness and sweet satisfaction.  Any selfish desire to get that kickback feeling that comes when someone recognizes you… is gone.  So, it removes any self-centerdness to reveal a pure underlying love of giving and generosity.

Have you ever given a gift where the person never knew it was from you?  Wasn’t it divine?  This is another certain privilege of participating in the Santa story.

santa 9

This is a season where that crack of possibility, that there might be such as thing as magic, opens just a little wider;
Our capacity to dream becomes a little larger;
Our willingness to open ourselves up to whimsy and wonder and even the foolishness that a fairy tale brings, becomes greater.
And our reluctance to suspend disbelief starts to chip away.

And maybe for just a moment – BELIEF in something magical becomes a reality.  Even if it happens for a fleeting moment…just a flash of “what if?” …isn’t it wonderful?

santa 7So – I don’t know about you, but as long as there are Christmases, I’m going to choose to engage in the mysterious wonder of Santa Claus.

Merry Christmas to ALL of you, and to all – a good night!

Pointy numbers and mafia parties

As I write this… I’m no longer 36.  *a single tear streams down her resigned, still face*

Ah…36 – such a lovely number.
So round.
So voluptuous.
So “mid-thirties.”

Now I’m a pokey, harsh, unwelcoming 37.
37…such an ugly number.  A number not divisible by any other… alone.  Old.
And definitely sliding dangerously close into the “late thirties.”  Sigh…

But, I’m happy.  Is it because I woke up to a bunch of Facebook “Happy Birthdays?”  Yes.  Ok, but not JUST that.  (Oh, but let’s be honest… you don’t WANT those to matter because, after all, they’re just people who saw your name pop up in their newsfeed and threw out a simple two word phrase… perhaps even out of obligation or to avoid guilt.  But,try as you might, you can’t help feelin’ the love when you scroll through the list of people who’ve taken the time – even if just a moment – to acknowledge you… feels good.)

No, I’m happy because – despite the world being full of disappointment (i.e. the bulk of my experience in online dating), I somehow have hope.  I’m not going to use this post to explain how or why I still do – I’m saving that for a longer write-up.

But, what I do know is – the world of online dating, though it has brought it’s fair share of smh moments and fist pumps, has also brought some of the most amazing people into my life.

Tomorrow night I’m hosting a party – (and yes – if you live in the Houston area, you are WELCOME to come!) – and at least 60% of the people coming out to celebrate my birthday with me, are friends with me because of online dating.  They’re either men I’ve met and befriended, after we realized we weren’t romantically matched, or women I’ve met at social functions sponsored by Match.com and others, or friends OF those friends who I wouldn’t otherwise know.

In the last year, these friends and I have done all of this and more together:

– mafia/20’s gangster themed birthday party
– karaoke
– luau with a whole pig
– game nights
– family dinners
– pub trivia
– dancing …SO much dancing!
– foodie exploration
– toga pub crawl
– housewarming parties
– Houston beer fest
– crawfish boil
– trampoline dodgeball
– family Christmas party
– speed-dating event
– beach days
– trip to Austin
– comedy shows
– concerts
– nerf gun war

The ‘ol interwebs may not have brought me the love of my life …yet.
But it HAS brought me some of the dearest friendships I’ve ever known.   These are people who love me, love my kids, and have filled in as my second family.  And I’m so thankful!

So today, on a day that merits some reflection and gratitude… I’m happy to report that I’m happy.
That… though I think 37 may be the ugliest number of them all (c’mon…it really is…right?),
I am a woman blessed with the sweetest community.

Happy Birthday to me.

Aqua journal

I had a huge break over the summer from bookbinding, but I did manage to get this journal done over the month of August. I really like the hot-air balloon fabric I used for the endpages, and the textured cardstock makes it more tactile. I loved doing the headbands and am looking forward to another school year so I can get more practice and try new binding methods while the kids are gone. :)

Daily Deal Sites that I like

I Love a good daily deal site. You can find so many great deals on things that you already use or things that you can use for presents (and those finds where it's just a great deal for you! Those are good too!).

Some of the daily deal sites that I visit regularly are:

Groupon is one of the biggest daily deal sites around because it offers so many great deals and has just branched out in the St Louis area to Groupon Now deals too. I check Groupon out every day and I sign up for their emails so I don't miss any of their good deals.
Go here to check out Groupon. This is a must for us frugal shoppers.

Living Social is another daily deal site that has lots of good deal for you to choose from each day. They are big enough that they get lots of national deals as well.
Go here to check out Living Social.

Eversave - Share the Save

Eversave is smaller than the other 2 daily deal sites, but I have purchased so many awesome deals from them that I would not being doing my job if I didn't tell you about them. They do more than one deal a day and most of them are national deals. This site is a good mix of well known and new products.
Go here to check out Eversave.

Plum District has deals for moms. I find that their site carries lots of unique products and I have found many nice gifts on this site.
Go here to check it out.

SaveMore Daily Deals

Save More is new to the daily deal arena, but they are offering $10 to every person that signs up and that makes for a very good deal!!!
Go here to sign up for Save More and get your $10 credit.

Morgan's Deals is local to St Louis. (They also have deals in Kansas City, Colorado Springs, Austin and Fort Collins). I like to take a look at this site because I have found a lot of retaurant and local business deals. It's a great way to try some new places or get a great deal on some where you already go.
Go here to check out Morgan's Deals.

I do post deals from some other sites, but these are my favorites.

5 Simplest Tricks I Consciously Use To Get My Lazy Ass Moving!

Weight Loss Mantras That Will Never Fail You
Two Foolproof Weight Loss Mantras

Ok, let's face it, the only two foolproof mantras to lose weight are (1) to stick to a diet plan and (2) get one's lazy ass off the bed and onto a treadmill (or a stepper or even to an aerobic group class).

I suck at the former (the croissants keep beckoning me to come hither, like the mannequins in 'Confessions of a Shopaholic), so I only have the latter to rely on if I have to get into a shape and size than has any kind of semblance to Samantha Stosur (oh yes, for those who don't know, this Australian tennis star is my fitness icon and I was told everyone should have one... or two... or more).

Sam Stosur: A Fitness Icon
Just Look At Those Shoulders, Arms and Legs

Yet, it is a world renowned fact that I do have a fairly large, well rounded and definitely lazy ass! While I do go to a gym every single day (except Sundays), I am a world class snoozer at home. So, in order to get me moving when within the confines of my four walls and to keep me from becoming a fairly large, well rounded and of course lazy ass couch potato, I trick myself!

Yes, you read it right, I do trick myself. My mind is pretty weird that way, and it is fairly easy to trick it. I make sure that I get my lazy ass moving by inculcating the following 5 simple (and also foolproof in my case, due to the ever popular... kyunki agar main nahi karungi to kaun karega... funda) tricks.

  1. I have a set place for the T.V remote and it is an absolute criminal offence in my household to place that T.V remote anywhere other than at its designated place. This means that no matter how many times I want to turn my T.V on and off, I have to get my ass off my sofa and move it to the place where the remote is kept. Fortunately for me, my mind is not twisted enough to work it out that (1) why not just leave the stupid T.V on for the whole time or (2) why not cheat and keep the remote with me and only leave it back in its place when I am fully done with my television watching (translated: to before my hubby gets home).

  2. I have rented a fully furnished apartment that is actually partially furnished, if you get what I mean! I have rented one that does not have a washer and dryer, making an inevitable trip to the laundromat a must every few days. Of course, my lazy ass hates it, and sometimes my arms do too (especially when my laundry basket is heavy) but at least it gets me working! Hah! There's another trick on you dear mind!

  3. When I shop for veggies, I ensure that I only buy 2 days worth of supply. Now fresh veggies are must in any vegetarian (well, at least my hubby is one) household and despite knowing that, my shopping basket is consciously restrained. What this does is that a trip to the corner Carrefour or to the nearby Aldi is an absolute must every alternate day. Though my lazy ass cribs and complains about it, it really has no other alternative but to get moving for my hubby loves his mix veg salads.

  4. I have made it a rule that I must take my trash out every single day. Though it is highly tempting to let it accumulate before I make that trip to the dump, it does help to get me moving when I stick to the rule. It is often an added advantage that my trash bag never gives way to the weight and tear off during my trip as it had once ( and do not have the words to describe the mess and for the effort and pain it took to clear it). From that horrifying experience onwards, my lazy ass has never once complained about this is one thing though!

  5. Last, but definitely not the least, I keep all my windows open most of the day. Other than keeping my home well ventilated, what this does is that enough dust settles in my ground floor home each day, to make postponing the sweeping task impossible. Though I really have to push my lazy ass on this one (for just like my ass, even my mind hates brooms), I move through the whole house sweeping it with a broom every single day.

    Let me share my personal secret with you, I think that people who don't have the habit of doing household chores are actually better at doing them then ones that don't. For example, while my bai in India would finish sweeping my house in 10 minutes, it takes me 30, simply because I am doing it more slowly, more conscientiously and definitely without skipping any corners. Not sure if you agree. But hey, like I said, it gets my lazy ass moving!
So, howzit y'all. Do you like the tricks I play on my mind? Do let me know if you have some of your own to add.

3 Innovative New Ways To Make Maggi Noodles: My Personally Tried And 'Tasted' Maggi Noodle Recipes

Everyone loves Maggi Noodles but most people hate experimenting with something so good and stick to the traditional way of making these 2 minute noodles. Not so very long ago, I was completely orthodox myself when it came to making these noodles and in fact I was such a stickler for rules when it came to making them that I would time my cooking time to exact 2 minutes, not a second more nor less. Yet all that changed one fine day.

I was out on a trek with some of my closest friends and the dinnertime meal was supposed to be Maggi noodles. I absolutely hated the fact that when we picked up our chits (that was how we designated individual chores), I was the nominated dishwasher and my dear friend M, the cook!

It was bad enough that I was to do the dishes but what made it completely worse was the fact that M was very clearly in the mood the experiment, something equivalent to the gravest sacrilege in my mind, especially when it comes to making Maggi.

He begged and begged me to try it, t…

How Rujuta Diwekar Broke 4 Of My Fitness Myths!

Yes, as always I am a lagger when following trends and I have only recently laid my hands on celebrity weight loss consultant Rujuta Diwekar's 'Don't Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight' courtesy of a dear friend B. Yet, I must say, I did hear a lot about the person behind Kareena Kapoor's size zero figure but since I was never in the 'size zero' rat race, I had never really delved deeper into the topic.

Recently though, I stumbled upon Rujuta Diwekar's official website and Youtube channel and while I was surfing through the portals (one link led to another and then yet another), I learnt a lot of things about some misheld fitness myths that I had clung on to for all of these years. Now that Rujuta Diwekar has managed to convince me otherwise by busting some of my most 'holy grail' like precious fitness myths, it is time for me to test them out.

The Ultimate Outlook Guide On 2015's Top Mutual Funds: Your Cheat Sheet To This Year's India Investments

So, have you started your SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans) yet? Even if the answer is yes already, I am sure you are ready for more. I find SIPs to be ridiculously addictive, especially because the total amount you expend on them nets out to be such a small percentage of your monthly incomes. And SIPs cater to the ultimate savings objectives, for you might not be able to save with all your loans and purchases, but setting aside just a few bucks for a SIP each month means you don't even feel the pinch of your big fat savings goals (which of course the total sum becomes as you keep counting the months and years).

Why Mutual Funds?

Well, I did start off the article assuming you knew about SIPs and Mutual Funds, but in case you are an absolute 'green behind the ears' layman, here's a little break down for you, before we move on to the important fund selection bit. Investments in mutual funds is similar to investing individually on the stock market, except for while you w…

Haida Dancing

Above is a video highlighting a Haida dance. Note that the first set of dancers are all wearing modern versions of button blankets. The after effects of colonial influence and take over are shown in this video. But the spirit of the Haida people isn't broken; can you see the enthusiasm of the younger generation as they jump in, with or without the traditional wear? This video, like many, highlights that the healing is just beginning and things are looking up!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can it go down the stairs?

A: Yes, of course! The same way as up but in the inverse order.

Q: Where can I buy the Scalevo wheelchair and how much does it cost?

A: It is currently not a product for sale. The wheelchair was started as a student project in the last year of the bachelor. Our main goal was to get insight into the creation of a prototype and to apply the theory learned in previous years. With this prototype we then want to compete at the international Cybathlon Challenge in 2016.

Q: I really want this wheelchair. Is there no chance to buy it?

A: We got great feedback and for many people this product could change their life. Right now we want to win at the Cybathlon in the cathegory powered wheelchair. After that we will bring it into the market. Therefore we have to simplify the system to make it more robust, safer and easier to manufacture. For that we will have to look for investors :) .

Q: What is the maximal driving speed?

A: On the ground about 10 km/h and on the stairs at 1 step/s. This velocity is four times faster than the one shown in the rollout video.

Q: What kind of stairs can it drive on?

A: Staircases with a slope from 17° to 34°. It is also able to drive on spiral staircases.

Q:  How big is the wheechair?

A: It is 65cm wide and 105cm long with a total weight of 101kg.

Achieving Innovative, Robust and Desirable Products

The Product Development Process, PDP, is critical to ensuring that a company achieves and maintains a competitive and successful market position. The PDP needs to address many apparent contradictions: minimise cost while maximising quality; maximize function but be simple to use; be innovative but low risk; be reliable and robust but minimize development time......
The Six Sigma methodology offers a wide range of statistical and structured tools that can be integrated into the PDP to increase its effectiveness in addressing these contradictions - this is commonly referred to as "Design for Six Sigma".

Design for Six Sigma, DfSS Training

We are pleased to be able to offer a full range of Design for Six Sigma training from simple awareness to expert practitioner. This training is aimed at designers and managers working in product or technology development. It is not just a "delta" course for experienced six sigma practitioners - no prior six sigma knowledge is required to get the most from this training.

DfSS Yellow Belt - Awareness level training

This interactive 2-day workshop gives an invaluable introduction to Design for Six Sigma and what benefits it might offer your product or technology development process.

DfSS Green Belt- Practitioner training

This intensive 12-day programme, spread over four modules, is focussed on developing DfSS practitioners. Integrating the training with company design projects brings both immediate benefits to the business and valuable application experience for the Green Belts.

DfSS/Six Sigma Black Belt

This Black Belt conversion course is designed for Operational (manufacturing) and Design for Six Sigma (DfSS) Green Belts who are looking to extend their Six Sigma knowledge and to act as mentors for Green or Yellow Belts working in either a design or manufacturing role. The training programme consists of two modules of 4-days separated by a month. Delegates are encouraged to come to the training with high priority company projects that will provide an opportunity to apply the learning and go towards meeting certification requirements.

PhD Position in Graphical Models at NTU in Singapore, 2013

Nanyang Technological University, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering is inviting applications for PhD Position in Graphical Models. Applicants must have Bsc degree in applied statistics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, or computer engineering. Position is available for Singaporean applicants and it covers salary and tuition. Application should be submitted by email. Application closing date is November 01, 2013.

Study Subject (s): The position is awarded in graphical models at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
Course Level: This studentship is for pursuing PhD research level at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Scholarship Provider: Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Scholarship can be taken at: Singapore

Eligibility: Bsc in applied statistics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, or computer engineering

Scholarship Open for Students of Following Countries: PhD research position is open for Singapore applicants.

Scholarship Description: Graphical models, referred to in various guises as “Markov random fields,” “Bayesian networks,” or “factor graphs,” provides a statistical framework to encapsulate our knowledge of a system and to extract information from incomplete data. With carefully chosen assumptions (e.g., conditional independence of selected random variables), graphical models can be used to derive highly efficient techniques for data analysis; the main idea is to exploit the (existing or imposed) structure in the statistical model. However, graphical models are at present mostly limited to Gaussian or discrete random variables, while many real-life statistical problems involve non-Gaussian random variables. For example, this is the case of all positive quantities (amplitude, energy, magnitude), which are commonplace in physics and earth sciences. Moreover, extreme events such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, which are of special interest in natural hazards and risk analysis, cannot be described accurately by means of Gaussian distributions.

Consequently, there is a tremendous need for new types of graphical models for dealing with non-Gaussian data. Such graphical models would enable us to solve large-scale real-life inference problems efficiently, while relaxing many simplifying assumptions about the data, and allowing us to better quantify uncertainties and trade-offs in model parameters. To move toward this goal, we will integrate copula theory in the framework of graphical models. Statistical copulas enable us to tie any kind of marginal distributions (Gaussian, non-Gaussian and even non-parametric) together to form a joint distribution. Through the language of graphical models, we will impose structure on the resulting non-Gaussian joint distributions, so that they can describe the relationship between thousands or even millions of non-Gaussian random variables in an accurate and compact manner. By exploiting the structure in those high-dimensional statistical models, we will derive highly efficient algorithms for i) learning the model parameters; ii) imputing missing data; iii) extrapolation; iv) conditional simulation; v) forecasting; vi) other important statistical tasks. We will derive statistical performance guarantees for those learning and inference algorithms. We will then apply the proposed models to several important problems in earth sciences. We will consider copula graphical models for both “nominal” (non-extremal) data and for extreme events.

Number of awards offered: Not Known

Duration of award(s): Not Known

What does it cover? It covers salary and tuition.

The theatre actor’s process in a rehearsal hall is reality and metaphor. It can be a rehearsal for justice, where we can live freely. In this laboratory the actor becomes all of us. Like the actor, we inhabit our bodies and our sexualities, sometimes as spiritual practice, or as sacred and creative, even as incarnations. In particular, women’s bodies remember what it is like to be no-body and what it is like to be a some-body. The texts of women’s bodies contain their history of pain, wellness and illness.In creating a character, the actor creates a biography, an inner life, and the actor’s imagination aligns with the character’s situation. This is the creation of a character’s ‘living story’. Similarly, for all of us, this is akin to self knowledge. When women and sexual minorities tell their stories and listen to each others’ self knowledge, they are reading their bodies as texts. And worlds split open.

Inhibition of long-term potentiation by NMDA-mediated nitric oxide release

See allHide authors and affiliations

Science  28 Aug 1992:
Vol. 257, Issue 5074, pp. 1273-1276
DOI: 10.1126/science.1519065

Activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors before tetanic stimulation blocks long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. This NMDA-mediated inhibition of LTP can be reversed by the nitric oxide (NO) inhibitors L-NG-monomethyl-arginine or hemoglobin and mimicked by sodium nitroprusside. These results indicate that the timing of NO release relative to high-frequency activation of CA1 synapses may be an important determinant of LTP generation and suggest that NO may play a positive or negative modulatory role in LTP depending on prior events at the tetanized synapse and the ambient concentration of excitatory amino acids.

The Giants' first regular-season home game is coming up next Friday, and while the rules allow you to bring whatever snacks your heart desires into AT&T Park (seriously, we've carted in whole pizzas), outside booze is still verboten. Since shelling out $10 a pop for those plastic cups of Bud can really add up, we wanted to draw attention to two alternative options for drinkers looking to up their class and save a little cash.

1. Cart in a brew or two from Public House. Traci des Jardins' restaurant in the bottom of the ballpark has a killer beer selection, with 24 taps from local brewers (Bear Republic, Linden Street, Speakeasy, Russian River) and national craft beer luminaries (Allagash, Dogfish Head, Ballast Point). Not only are these beers far more interesting than the upstairs offerings, they're cheaper to boot, at an average of $6 a pint. Any brew on the menu can be served to-go at no extra charge; just ask for a plastic cup and head into the stadium through their nifty side entrance. Not feeling a hot dog or garlic fries from upstairs? They've got tasty, portable bites like house-fried potato chips and a sweet and spicy peanut mix for sale at the bar, as well as take-out boxes for indulgences like potato-chip crusted fried mac-and-cheese bites and soft pretzel nuggets with porter mustard.

2. Grab a drink from the new Anchor Plaza & Taproom. The pioneers of craft brewing have finally set up shop inside AT&T Park (they're located just behind the center-field scoreboard), and their offerings go far beyond just a pint of Anchor Steam. The weatherproof replica of their Potrero Hill taproom is the only place in the park where you can settle in with a pint of Liberty Ale or Anchor Porter, and they've even got some harder options from their distilling arm, including a Junipero gin and tonic and an Irish coffee spiked with Old Potrero whiskey. Four flat-screens surround the beer garden, ensuring you don't miss a second of the game.

Happy Opening Day, and go Giants!

New sketch at Sassy Lil' Sketches!

A new sketch and a new reveal is up at Sassy Lil' Sketches! Go check it out! Here's the new sketch by Cherie Averill:

And I finally managed to scrap a few LOs for the online crop at

Love Is In The Details. (You have until February 28th to upload LOs if you want to play!)

This one was for a butterfly challenge. I'm not a butterfly person, but I did manage to find a tiny butterfly punch. I added some stickles for the body. I ended up really liking the finishing touch that the butterflies add! It's Tintagel castle ruins in Cornwall. Legend associated this site with King Arthur. If that's true, what beautiful scenery the Knights of the Round Table enjoyed! ;)

This one is the second page for the village of Portmeirion, in northern Wales. It's a surreal village built by a rich Welsh architect in 1925, inspired by Italian coastal villages. It was beautiful! It's based on a sketch by Juliet Diley, from
Scrapbook Heaven.

Finally, this one is from Hound Tor, one of the peculiar rock formations in Dartmoor National Park in southern England. It was cloudy and drizzly, but we had fun hopping around the rocks! It's also based on a sketch by Juliet Diley.

Well, that's it for today... Hoping to get a bit more done by the end of the week!

Fun stuff!

If you haven't made a Valentine Day's card for your sweetie yet, here's your chance! Head on over to Sassy Lil' Sketches for their new sketch and the great cards the DT made!

And don't forget to check out Love Is In The Details! The online crop fun has started, and you've got until February 28th to upload your creations! Lots of fun and inspiration in store!

Sassy Lil' Sketches' first reveal... and mine!

Head on over to Sassy Lil' Sketches to check out their first official sketch! It's the one I got to play with for my first reveal!

This is the sketch. I love all the layers!

And here's my version. I adapted it a bit, as I always tend to add more photos on my layouts (the result of taking way too many pictures on our trips! ;)

I called it "I think I died and went to Hydrangea heaven" because that's exactly what it felt like during our trip to the UK last summer! I love hydrangeas and really wanted to plant some when we did the landscaping in our tiny little backyard last spring. But there just wasn't enough room so I had to settle for some other bushes. But they are all over the place in the UK, in people's front yards, on castle grounds, along roads... And they are gorgeous!! So colorful and vibrant! I loved it! The top photo is actually a "valley of hydrangeas" in a huge subtropical garden in Cornwall. It was breathtaking! I'm so glad we visited when it was in bloom!

So, go over to Sassy Lil' Sketches to check out what the rest of the team did. I hope you'll play along and create a page with this lovely sketch! I'd love to see what you'll come up with! And because I'm excited about my first reveal, and in honor of hydrangeas all over the world ( ;) lol!), I'm offering up this little flowery RAK.

Just complete the sketch, and post a comment with a link to your LO on Sassy Lil' Sketches and right here on my blog, and I'll enter your name for a random drawing of these flowers and flower centers. I'll pick the winner on March 7th, the day of my 2nd reveal. Happy scrapping!
