Even though Christmas is still months off, if we don’t start now, it always seems to sneak up on us, and we end up having to buy everything in a mad dash those last few weeks in December. The Woven Basket is a one stop gift source. They have numerous selections of […]

Tomorrow is one of those “nose to the grindstone” kind of days. Friday’s the day I usually finish up the bulletins for Sunday, and a handful of other things. I have that to do, plus my boss wanted to take the newsletter home and let his wife proofread it better this evening. […]

What is your first reaction to a blank page or canvas?
That it needs to be filled. With words. With creativity. A plain layout on a blog is a blank canvas to me. I have this need — compulsion to fill it up, with beauty. With color. With organization. […]

A while back, David’s brother needed to borrow our ladder. We got out blankets, and bunge cords, and strapped the ladder to his truck. And for a one time use, that is probably doable. But. What do you do when you need to transport a ladder on a more frequent basis. […]
