My Life List


I was inspired by a lovely blog I read (Mighty Girl) to create a Life List of things I want to experience, learn, and do sometime in my lifetime.  It's funny, after publishing my list, I have come to realize I've actually already accomplished a few of my entries.  Progress already.  In fact, I'm going to start crossing things off.  And, of course, I'm going to start that list of fruits I've already tasted.  I think I must be able to claim at least 100 so far...

Coming soon to my Etsy Store....

My latest project:


Inspired by the latest navy/sailor style trends...

There are Always the Balloon Animals...

The last couple of months have been difficult ones at work.  I have had more than my share of feeling bored, under-used, and stagnant.  I don't have a clear idea of what my dream job would be right now, so it's hard to set any particular goals when it comes to finding a new job.

However, in my times of future need, I will keep in mind the email I just received from the head of our block party planning committee, where she (in reference to my having done balloon animals for the neighborhood kids at last year's party---thanks to my beloved *heavy with sarcasm* fiancĂ©'s volunteering me) asked me if I was interested in making money by offering my "skills" to her "local mom's yahoo group" (500 strong) as the neighborhood balloon animal birthday party gal.

Phew, a backup plan...
