When my plate gets over loaded I feel like I’m backed into a corner. I feel like all the projects are standing in front of me and pushing at me. That is how I feel these days with all that is going on this next two weeks. The big move out for my daughter family happens on the 8th. That will be 3 to 5 busy days of organizing, rearranging furniture and decorating. A few days later I’m involved in...

I love when I find an old hand-made tool box. This tool box was really ready for the trash with all it’s built up grease and stains. I just couldn’t let it go to the trash pile. It was broken on one side that was unrepairable and there were screws sticking out. I had a lot of repairs to do and I had to work had to sand all the layers of grease away. Underneath all that grease was some...

One of the most popular things was wood shelves with heart carved out at the top. Recently someone gave me just such wood shelf with a heart so carefully carved out. This friend of mine said she had used it for years in her bathroom to store and organize things. She no longer needed it and...

I’m writing this blog on Sunday evening with a smile on my face. School starts tomorrow and I had a to do list a mile long.

I know this about myself but every time there is a big event in my life or small I still expect...

We all have jobs of some kind or the other. I’m so blessed that I get to do what I love the most and that is art. I teach art to the K-12 at Wylie Prep. I can’t imagine doing anything else in my life. It really isn’t a job it’s a passion! Teaching was not on my radar but I’m so glad I was lead to this profession. It is such a rush to see these kids create things...
