[shop stories] storybook

[One a week or so, I’ll share the story behind an image available for purchase in my shop.] I’ve always wanted to publish a book. I don’t even really care what type of book. I just want to pull myself together enough to complete the process of developing and writing and editing and formatting and

[shot stories] catchy title

I rearranged my desk, hoping it would be easier to find things and work. Nope. Because now my Dumbledore and McGonagall FunkoPop figures are JUDGING ME. All you get this week is a heavily edited photo of birds flying over the sea.

[shop stories] lace

[Once a week or so, I’ll share the story behind an image available for purchase in my shop.] This time last year I found Queen Anne’s Lace growing in our yard. I kept an eye on it, and when I knew it was almost time to cut grass, I picked it. Then we scienced for

[shot stories] a rock show

I met my husband when I came home from a rainy day of college classes to find him sitting on my couch. He was in my apartment with some other friends of my roommate. He was wearing a long-sleeved Nightwish t-shirt. Nightwish was supposed to play in Atlanta in 2005 (2006?) but cancelled their tour

[memory work] aaron’s benediction

We have been super lazy about our memory work lately, so I made a pretty sign for our current attempt. You can download and print this for personal use. If you would like a professional photo print, message me for details.

[teaching tools] multiplication table

I had to update and print fresh copies of our multiplication table, which reminded me that I meant to start sharing design projects you can print yourself. There’s a single chart PDF here. There’s a double chart PDF here. (This is so that you can easily print 2 per sheet for smaller charts. I tape

[shop stories] sunset streak

[Once a week or so, I'll share the story behind an image available for purchase in my shop.] The view from our front deck has always been wonderful. I'm not sure why these streaks were here (the sun was setting and this is the east). I am thinking it has something to do with poor
