My Epic Dresser Re-do: In Progress
Projects have a way of growing around here. What started as a simple idea, has ballooned into epic proportions! I bought this dresser at my local thrift store for $9.99: I decided to see if I could ape some floral patterned bone inlay furniture I've seen online and lusted after: ...
I’m so very happy for you both. What a romantic and thoughtful guy. I love the pictures, they’re wonderful. Made me tear up. All of my best wishes for a truly happy, healthy, peaceful, long lasting, loving life together.
Paris was Unforgettable
I'm back home and will begin deluging you with museum and city photos next week. But, before I do that... Paris was pretty darn unforgettable! Steve told me that he had booked a photoshoot at the Eiffel Tower so that we would have some great photos of the two of us from the trip -- more tha...
Love your pictures. I was fortunate enough to get a trip to France in the mid-80’s. Their museum of modern art was art LESS than 200 years old. And I couldn’t help thinking the United States was only about that old. Seeing the incredible art in the Louvre was absolutely amazing. The sense of history everywhere you turned was almost impossible to process. Thanks so much for sharing your time in Spain.
Medieval Village: Pals
We went to see two medieval villages while we were in Spain. The first was Pals, which I'm sharing photos of today. We don't have any architecture this old in the U.S. It just blew my mind that we were touching walls and stairs and stones from the 15th century. Does anyone else think that's ...
It’s very chilly, but sunny in Brooklyn, Ohio today. I love that I’m moderately creative, musically inclined and am fiercely loyal.

You guys! I've got an awesome giveaway for you this week! It's the ScanNCut Rolling Tote (currently $99 on Amazon)! This video all about it is an oldie, but a goodie: This Fall, I took my ScanNCut for a spin outside! The weather was fabulous! Because the ScanNCut is a stand-alone machine,...
So very sorry to hear of your loss. My sincere condolences to you and your family. He will always be with you in your heart and memories.
Richard J. Balzer Life Map
I am deeply sad to report that my father, Dick Balzer... ...passed away on Sunday, December 3, 2017 -- surrounded by his family. As you can imagine the past week has been difficult. I'd like to imagine that I could just snap back into my daily routine, but that seems a sisyphean task. I mad...
Again with the goodies. So great. I love the This Just In microphone, and the direct message set is so versatile...they’re both amazingly versatile. Great job. Thanks again for your great stamps, dies, wonderful colors, papers. Just wow.

100 Canvases: Canvas #40
This is a painting with one piece of collage. So, technically it's a mixed media collage. But mostly, it's a mixed media painting (acrylic, charcoal, and marker). I love how the background is enveloping her. She is both separate and a part of it. Here is the one piece of collage: And so...
Julie, I have to first say, you are an inspiration to everyone. So creative. You are a natural on tv. Second... I’ve been looking for a fixative for years that won’t blow up the house. I searched for a while one day and found “SpectraFix”. I used it on a pastel/chalk...didn’t think it would work...but it did. I was, like, WOW!!! Found it several places, but got it from Dick Blick (just love when it comes to the door). There is NO odor, comes in a spritz-type bottle. Says it is for pastel, chalk, pencil, charcoal, oil pastel, colored pencils. Good on almost every surface. Price wise it wasn’t much more than an aerosol type. And I don’t have to open all the windows and doors, or turn off the furnace. Bonus: made in the US, all natural. I’m like, gobsmacked!!! Website is SpectraFix.com. Hope this helps you, as much as you have helped me over the last few years. You go girl!!!

Happy 10th Anniversary!!! Wishing you MANY more. Please keep the wonderful sets coming. My favorite is the faith-based sentiments. One of my favorite hymns is "Earth and All Stars". The final line of each stanza is "I too shall praise Him with a new song!" I love this new set. Thank you!!

It's a hard choice, because there are so many wonderful songs, both religious and secular. But, Silent Night is my favorite, because Christmas IS about the birth of Christ, and it's a really beautiful hymn.
