I’ve Figured It Out!

Since returning home from the Bloggers Conference, I’ve struggled to develop something to share. I was reminded of so much, but I had trouble pin pointing that one, big “ahah!” moment. It just wasn’t coming to me. You see, I’ve been blogging since 2001. I started things off with ‘Ramblings of a Generic Female’ and […]

This Blogging Thing… It’s Hard Y’all!

Remember that time I wrote a blog post almost every day for at least 2 weeks? Yeah, I could start a blog post this way at least a few times a year. Lately I’ve been baking way more than I’ve been blogging. My middle doesn’t appreciate this. Sometimes I just do not have anything to […]

Kids.

I have to say, thank goodness kids are not a topic that come up in my conversations often. I don’t have a dad that ends every phone conversation/email with “can’t wait to have grand kids” and if my mom were still alive, I doubt she would say that to me. My siblings all have their […]

Did You Know

While talking to some colleagues today about some of the things my active participation in the world of social media has brought me, I was left trying to answer the question “Why don’t we know about this stuff!?!” Huh… I suppose I don’t know. So, in an effort to help the masses “know” this stuff, […]

When Not At Work

You would think with all of this talk of work and conferences that I never have down time. Sometimes I think that, but it really isn’t true. I’m the kind of person that loves to fill my time with stuff. I say “stuff” but it really is stuff. I have tons of hobbies, tons of […]

Wish You Were Here

No, really, I don’t wish you were here. This happened today. In my head. But it might as well have been at my desk where everyone could see it. As long as I’ve been at Walton Arts Center, I’ve been the “go to” for a large portion of the staff. Heck, it’s kind of my […]

When I Fail, I Go All Out

The stage was set. I had mixing bowls, fruit, bags of sugar, a perfectly vintage Foley Mill, my HUGE canning pot, sterilized jars and all of the small, fun supplies necessary for a beautiful batch of marmalade. Hours passed by as I skillfully mixed the ingredients, keeping a close eye not to let the sugary […]

Testing 1, 2, 3

This post won’t be long, but I thought a test was in order. When I travel, I often take almost every modern, electronic I own. Let’s see, I have my iPhone, my iPad and my laptop. Now wait, before you judge me and my over abundance of electronics in my carry on, allow me to […]

Words Escape Me or my Brain Won’t Function

How is it that I can be SO full of ideas and things to share when I’m away at a conference or at school (it’s weird to say school, makes me feel like I’m 17 again) but when I return home I have nothing, absolutely nothing to say. Really, I have nothing. And I’m hungry. […]

All Work and No Play…

In case you’ve been wondering where I’ve been for the past month, it’s either been at work, at work, or at work. Okay, okay, I kid. I’ve been at work, making jewelry, and at work. Things have stayed quite busy up at the arts center, but it’s winding down as summer approaches and I’m looking […]
