New Blog Post: A new office for a new year →
I am starting this new year in a new office. In the fourteen years I’ve worked for the College, I’ve worked on three campuses, in four buildings, and eight offices. This office is large - large enough to hold a small conference table comfortably - it is by far the largest work space I’ve had thus far - and it’s more than three times wider than my most recent...

New Blog Post: OLW Blog Hop ... Fight or Flight →
If you’re here for the OLW Blog Hop, welcome back. If you’re a regular reader who sometimes skips the Blog Hop posts because they may (although not always) be a little more about scrapbooking than usual…there is something here for you.
Today is October 1! In rough terms, 75% of 2012 is gone. In just a little over a week I’m going to be celebrating the...

Happy New Year!
It’s time for the last One Little Word Blog Hop post of 2012…and the reveal of my One Little Word for 2013. I’ve enjoyed this project over the last year and have really stuck with it. I now have an album with 10 of the 12 posts done - which is well more than I did in 2011.
In this month’s project, we were to journal some facts and...

New Blog Post: Inviting Action - One Little Word... →
I’m taking part in Ali Edwards One Little Word class at Big Picture Classes again this year. I think that the idea of selecting a word for the year is so much a part of my new year tradition now that I’d do it even without the class, but I love the little nudge towards creativity this class provides each year…and the accountability the blog hop provides.
My word...
New Blog Post: Making Custom Luggage Tags... →
One of the things that I like to do prior to a family vacation/gal pal trip is make custom luggage tags. I’ve got them from many Disney trips. You can see a line up of some past ones above…still attached to my rolling backpack. I thought I’d share with you how I make them in case you want to make your own for your next trip.
As with any good project, you should start...

Check back next Wednesday for the final post in the series.

New Blog Post: On dogs and time →
My long weekend in Florida was, for me, time that the ancient Greeks would have described as kairos time - time measured in beats of the heart rather than in ticks of the clock. The water, the beaches, the sun, the sand, floating down a river in a kayak, the walks with dad and Sam, chatting with mom…all those things happened without me ever caring once how long they were taking....
