Here’s a quick card share for the Make-Motivate-Connect, link party #4. This week’s challenge is to do a birthday card. I call my card a non-traditional birthday card only in that it doesn’t say “happy birthday”! But, there are a ton of ways to wish someone a happy birthday! Please make sure you visit…

Basic Daytime Makeup Routine
I am kind of a beauty junkie. Not so much of a junkie that I buy every new product that comes out but I am interested in what is out there. I wear make up daily to work and sometimes on the weekends. I enjoy a full face of makeup and like to get dramatic…

Happy Labor Day
Today we celebrate Labor Day. It is a national holiday and most of us probably don’t even know why we celebrate it! President Grover Cleveland signed a bill into law on June 28, 1894, declaring Labor Day a national holiday. Some historians say he was afraid of losing the support of working-class voters. Labor Day…

Podcasts-Yay or Nay?
So, I’ll get straight to the point. In terms of podcasts, I’m a yay! It’s surprising to me because I’m not one who listens to talk radio or even watches tv talk shows. In the car, I was always a music listener and my music was always loud. What changed? In 2014, the podcast, Serial by…

August Goals and July Results
It’s time again to go over my goals for July, see the results, and set my intentions for August. Let’s review my July goals and see how I did: Clean out 3 drawers in the master bedroom. Since I didn’t get to it in June, I’ll shoot for it this month. One of the drawers…

My Current Favorite Television Shows
Like many, I enjoy watching television. I don’t enjoy reality shows (other than sports) but I do enjoy episodic comedy and drama television shows. Though I pay a crap load for cable, I don’t have any premium channels. I do, however, have Netflix and Hulu. Hulu is on a special discounted price for a year…

Hallway Refresh-Gallery Wall Update
After much hemming and hawing and a great deal of procrastination, the final gallery wall is done! I’ll let the photos do the talking but will tell you again that this hallway is really hard to photograph. It gets no natural light, is long and narrow, and because glass is involved my reflection is sometimes…
