Ick and Bot... in which I try storyboarding.
And I like it. A lot. I know storyboarding is a great tool, but I hadn't used it for a while and I find it perfectly suited to helping me work out Ick and Bot's story flow. Because they are small and designed to be quick outputs, there's limited impact if something doesn't work. ((Two thumbs...

Success
So many tech problems, so little time. For a long time, I haven't been able to download pictures off my camera nor upload pictures from my computer to my blog. I was so happy "it" worked today! My fat-free boy prefers to swim in 104 degree water.
LOL! I just realized that I did sound a little like I was begging. Sorry about that. I just meant that you inspire me (though, I wouldn't say no, heh-heh).
By they way, Jackie and I were wondering if you and Ali (and Katie, if she'd like) would like to come up here on August 25th for the Camas Vintage Street Faire? I think it'd be a blast! Plus, we miss you so much.
Anyhow, wishing you the most awesomest (that's a word) day! =)

People, you need a peephole
Last Friday, and odd dog with a dental problem appeared at our back door. His legs also stuck out every which way, like a badly drawn cartoon. If I didn't take pictures of the things that go on in my daily life, I am sure I would not believe half the stuff that happens. I started going door-to...
Amen!!! Also, LOVE your layout and that song--it's one of my favorites. HUGS to you and your family--totally missing you! =)

You Are My Sunshine
I know spring is officially here but day after day of dark, rainy days has been getting me down so I decided to make a little piece of scrapbook art to brighten my mood, as well as the wall in Emma's room. Since her birth I have sung "You Are My Sunshine" to her- it was the song that soothed her...
Wow! LOVE the mood of this photograph! =)

Steigerwald Lake Adventure
Dawn and I went adventuring over the past weekend and ended up at Steigerwald Lake. It was great fun and we saw a lot of birds and crossed paths with a whole slew of nice folks happy to show us newbs the good spots. More on this later. Have a great day, everybuggy!

I'd like to introduce... Miss Piggy!
I've been away for a long while. Has it really been almost a whole, entire year?! Life has been keeping me far too busy, but I'm renewing my focus on my blog for the coming year. I realize that I don't need to do much. Keeping in touch is more important than anything else. And so.... I'd lik...

In the new issue of Somerset Apprentice
I have a magazine addiction. I love to read them, flip through them, stack them on my coffee table then have a hard time parting with them. I just love magazines. So to see myself in one is a total worlds collide moment! This morning at Barnes & Noble, I saw myself on the pages of Somerset Appr...
Oh my goodness! I just LOVE your wall hangings--you rock it, girlfriend! =)

Better late than never here are a few more Valentine's Day 2012 projects that I finished this February (before the 14th if you can believe it!) The first is a little wall hanging for Emma's room, I have a reversible one that is on her bedroom door from Halloween- Christmas, when it came down t...

I thought I'd try another "clean out my button-flower-brad, etc. stash" project much like my Easter egg from last year: http://kismetart.typepad.com/kismet_art/2011/04/easter-egg-project.html Because of the time it took last year I started with a slightly smaller canvas this time around (5x7 i...

Message In A Cookie
So very happy that Emma loves to have fun in the kitchen, and her current favorite thing to bake is cookies, chocolate-chip, gingerbread, oatmeal butterscotch, and now sugar cookies using this cool Message In A Cookie set that she bought using some of her Christmas money. The set comes with...
AWESOME photo of you two! And, I love the 3-month grace period. We have that sort of thing going on here, too, for birthdays. Makes it fun!

In the holiday spirit
Yesterday our family got together to celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas for the kids. And by kids I mean teenagers. We were all busy on actual Hanukkah and Christmas and we have a 3-month grace period on celebrating holidays and birthdays in our family. Yesterday was the one evening we all had fr...
I've been thinking of you sooooo much lately.
Also, LOVE your post. You are such an amazing story teller and writer. So much so, that now I'm regarding my kitchen utensils with a bit more affection. However, I can't say that they get as much use as they should, but still...
Looking forward to spending some quality time with you in 2012 girlfriend!

When a Pizza Cutter Isn't Just a Pizza Cutter
Most people who know us know that in the Ackerman household Sunday night is pizza night. Our Sunday night pizza night started before we had kids and since they were old enough to eat solids Ben and Emma have eagerly joined us for this ritual. Served with a salad for us, veggies and fruit for ...
A friend directed me to your post, knowing how it would resonate with me. I've been struggling a bit with not doing--with saying, "No." But, I've begun to practice and my amazing friends have been supporting me--well, in amazing ways. It is such a gift to have friends like this, like the friends you've had to help you along your path. I follow Brene Brown, too, and it feels like this help we've received is just the thing we've needed, anchoring us to a path that is filled with many good things--like truth, authenticity, love, and joy.
Oh, what a wonderful set of friends and an incredible journey it is!
Best to you and three cheers for, "No!"

"The one thing I can say right now with enthusiasm and certainty is that if you're in the position to be considering attending Squam - either this fall or next year, but are on the fence for whatever reason - because you don't know anyone else going, because you're not sure it's worth the mone...

I'm so glad we had a chance to catch up yesterday and I'm totally psyched to see you for tea tomorrow.
Also, YOU are the "best freaking friend ever" (I'll explain this statement more tomorrow) and I'm so sorry that you're going through this. But, I'm there (along with all of your friends) to help you make the journey.
HUGS and love my dear, dear friend! Oh, and an infusion of energy for the road! =)

Things have changed for me over the past few days and I want to share with my online community of friends the reason why I won't be around as I have in the past. On Friday morning I woke up with an eight year memory loss. It was very disorienting and quite frightening for me. Those around me tho...

Summer Afternoon
Enjoying a lovely afternoon at the beach. The sun warms as the wind cools and the ocean soothes.
This retreat is still whispering wisdom into my heart as I think it through, process, and understand it all. So glad I could share it with my best friend, too -- it made it that much more special!
