eLaine’s Locker

eLaine’s Locker I thought I would announce the fact that I opened a Zazzle store for my daughter’s artwork. We call it ‘eLaine’s Locker‘. The idea is to get her started in getting a bit of exposure for her anime drawings, and eventually a little spending money for when she goes to school next fall. It is fun to help your kids develop their talents and fledge into something that helps them learn...

Why Does This Work?

Why Does This Work? You tell me. Blogging is a sometimes arcane art. They say write good content and lots of it, but I’ve seen the technorati rise and fall and then stay down for a very looooong time. In many blogging circle there just isn’t the link love that there use to be. Well, it seems that The Mom with Brownies is about to change all that for some of us. while visiting Matt Harmless’ blog saw this...

Would You Eat That?

Via Solonor comes this meme about… questionable foods, he also provided links to many of the more unusual ones. Let’s see how you stack up with what foods I’ve tried. The rules for the questionable foods meme: 1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions. 2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten. 3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. 4)...

My Beautiful Baskets

Arrived! Today the baskets were delivered via FedEx, dispatched quickly and packaged neatly. I will have to take a picture of them this weekend… and post! They really are so pretty, and the cards that came with them describe three of the weavers. I do hope this program is helping the women as much as it says- to think that you are so easily improving the lives of women and children by giving them...

Something Beautiful, Something Good

Something Beautiful, Something Good First, I have to tell you: I love baskets. I especially love handwoven baskets infused with ethnic style. I also love a good cause, and what is better than combining the two? Now I have to tell you what I discovered and share it with you. You might know I exercise at Curves, usually three times a week. This past week there were some baskets on display. Not just any baskets, but well made, graphically...

Today I will be going to some of the sites and take pictures that I hope to post here ( not all- but a...

Did you tell me to say “Cheese”?

Did you tell me to say “Cheese”? Is this picture begging for captions, or what? Feel free to add them! It sort of looks like the expressions of two little girls at a birthday party- which is what our day felt like, very celebratory and fun. Since I have never felt comfortable in front of a camera there seems to be be the choice of this “say cheese” expression and the “mugshot”. Ah well, like Bonnie, I have to...

C’Mon A My House

C’Mon A My House The title? I saw a documentary on Rosemary Clooney not long ago. I saw the house thing at the Anchoress blog and did it for a lark. Here are the results of mine: Click here to view my house Based on your drawing and the 10 answers you gave this is a summary of your personality: Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader.
