I am somewhat of a freak about documenting my life. I have been writing in a daily journal since I was 13. I kept a chewed gum collection in high school- each piece saved in a wrapper with the date and event written on the outside. In college I took an aternative [...]

I’ll be wearing stripey socks & sweaters & scarves everyday this month to raise awareness about stripes. What will you be doing?

Hi friends and neighbors-
I made a little stop motion video. I’ve been talking about it here for quite some time- and now it’s time for it’s grand debut! I made it to enter the HP You on You contest and waited to post it here until I knew if I was moving to [...]

I have edited myself halfway through 6 gigs of photos that I took last week in Logan, Ut at my dear friend Stephanie’s wedding. This photo ended up on my camera when Stephanie insisted that I be in one of the photos. Someone in the crowd clicked this for me and I am [...]

Rad street art in my neighborhood reminding me to fill my time with the things that I adore: hard work, magic, making, and my two boys (both currently sleeping at 1 in the afternoon!)
I love you all too- I’ll have an hour of you please. =)
