Apr 16, 2011 | Cultural chaos, No retail shopping
The challenge is done in 40 days. Will I run out and retail shop? No. If I did, that would only mean that I learned nothing from this amazing experience. Will I have changed my shopping habits? Yes, in a major way. It’s all about making wise choices, not...

I went out last Saturday night with a group of people to a busy restaurant. We had a pretty large group, so we had to grab the first table we could find. There was a table about to become available, so we stalked it, and slid into the seats at the same time the...

Fun? At the mall? Yep. Fun to me is processing my surroundings. This includes activities like people watching, looking at marketing trends and seeing current styles while taking photos of all these observations. If you need to know my underlying reason for poking...

Capital One had a commercial for their new Venture card. I didn’t hear much of the commercial, but the image I saw on TV intrigued me. The card pictured had the name Lee N. Cardholder. At least I thought it was an ‘N’. If it was an ‘N’, that would be ‘lean’ or ‘lien’,...

You know I have a difficult time doing anything simple. I started painting these hearts, and was about halfway done, when I had an idea. Yes, I usually change direction midstream on art projects. :) The hearts have meaning because we love all of the kids at Casa...

When we arrived to the Mission Arlington conference Saturday morning, Tillie was quick to put us to work. What better way to see what is going on there than to experience it first hand? Works for me, I’m ready! She quickly found drivers for the three buses filled with...

I’m at the store blogging this, waiting for bringer card proofs to be printed for tinselectomy.com. I have to say, with the ‘tinselectomy’ concept, I feel guilty purchasing 1000 candy candy canes and 500 feet of tinsel. Does it take all this...

I love it when I can share art with kids! I am in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico at Casa Hogar Elim orphanage. Last time I was here, we did photography light painting with the kids. This time, I brought lots of flashlights for the kids to use, and with a supply of color gels...

I’m listening to the song Give Me Your Eyes by Brandon Heath on the radio driving through Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. That song is so touching and really about what I want to accomplish in blogging about this trip. This is my second trip down here, but before my first...

Just a little creative brain exercise on a Friday morning. :) Can you identify the story in the image? If so, comment with your answer.

In efforts to save money for our church and still have a nice celebration for our staff’s birthdays, Lori, our director of getting stuff done and keeping everyone organized, said she would make birthday cakes. She then proceeded to ask everyone on staff what...

Wow. I have thousands of stories from just 5 days. Where to start… Not only did we spend a lot of time at Casa Hogar Elim, many of us wandered out into the surrounding areas. We went into “las colonias”, the local neighborhoods surrounding CHE,...

About two months ago, I got a really cool pair of shoes from a friend’s teenage daughter. She said she was not wearing them anymore, so I took them home with me. The shoes were awesome, great colors and artwork! As soon as I got home, I put them on and went...

Well, there goes the neighborhood… I guess by the photo, it is obvious that I live in a neighborhood with no homeowner’s association. My front door was a blah shade of hunter green, blending in with all the other doors in the area. I suppose it could...

They say the older women get, the bigger their underwear get. I’m not sure who ‘they’ is, but I’m quite sure ‘they’ spent too much time at grandma’s house or looking at the Sears catalog. So what’s my obsession with...

Coconut Grove is a popular nightspot in Miami, especially on a Saturday night. This is going to be a great evening I thought as I was driving home from work. I knew I would be driving, the Diet Coke plan would be best tonight. Finally, tonight was my first night...

Once upon a time, many, many years ago in Florida, a kind of weird chick had a white Christmas tree. She thought one year that it would be a great idea to hang candy canes on the tree. So off to the store she went to buy some candy canes. Now in those days, there...

Ok, so on the advice of my sister, I decided to fill out the personality test thing for free but not sign up for the service. So I did it. Got my personality profile. Interesting. So I’m now on the mailing list. Yeah. And there are some very interesting articles...

These are pics from my art show in 2006. The show was called ‘excessable’. It about the excess in our society and the accessibility to a lot of stuff we don’t need. (iPhones are NOT included here!) Some of the details: -All of the photographs are...

This is what happens when you have creative friends, a broken key on your PowerBook and a spare 5 minutes. So just messing around with Jerod’s broken laptop… we thought, “Hey?! Wonder what the old keys would look like with the new lit...

This wall is my favorite wall. It’s painted a nice Florida shade of pink. It’s a wall in my art room and it’s painted pink because I could paint it pink. I don’t have anyone to tell me I can’t paint it pink. It’s a random wall, full...

So me and my two creative bff’s just returned from the Innovate conference at Grainger Community Church. We went to a breakout group on blogging. It was great!! It was lead by Kem Meyer kemmeyer.com and I’ve been dying to get home and start a blog! So...
