The List Maven, one of the other Lifestyles channel bloggers, wants to know what I waste money on the most. I thought I’d add to the question a bit and show why I waste my money. So, here is a picture of the product I buy way too much of - paper towels - and […]

Portrait Sketch for Paulette Insall’s Class

I think I mentioned that I was taking a portrait painting class from Paulette Insall online. I’ve learned so much so far.

Quick Tip for Personal Art - Recycle Packaging

As I was feeding the wild birds, I took a look at the bird food bag and couldn’t pass up the cute birds on it. They were printed on clear plastic, so they look pretty much like transfers and really blend in nicely with my backgrounds. Now, since they are not copyright free, you cannot […]

A Cardinal at the Feeder

I spend way too much time looking through my window at the feeder, but how can you pass up a chance to see all the little birds fluttering about?

Now, to keep this from being completely off topic, here’s a tip for people who think they can’t draw. Print out a picture of something, cut it […]

Because of nasty weather and the horrible flu bug going around and the recent server outage, some of the channel wasn’t able to participate. But when it comes to something like Valentine’s Day, […]
