I am a National Geographic nut from way back.  I really don’t remember the first time I saw a National Geographic magazine, but I do remember a stack of them on our living room shelf that I would immerse myself in. Is this where I got my love of travel and geography?  I really don’t [...]

Quoting allthatiscute: Diary of a rabbit owner. Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent, because frankly I don’t care. —My bunny hates me, and you can too…

Well, I never could find time to do this blog justice, and out of the ten or so posts, I found only two that are really relevant today. Kept those and will use them elsewhere. So, now this is one less blog. Thank you for stopping by.

I manage a blog called Caray, Caray! (English translations of Spanish telenovelas) – it started as just me, translating one of these spectacular Mexican soap operas by myself five days a week for several months and now I have 45 co-authors. The site has had more than 1,200,000 visitors and gets more than 1200 hits a day, [...]

Since I don’t drink, and don’t want to sit around eating oreos all day, I needed a more productive distraction while my son was struggling to finish college and my daughter was getting married. I settled on – quilting! I found two traditional designs and made two quilts, and my Make your own quilt lens shows what [...]

My son graduated from college AND my daughter got married in June, and I went to my college reunion AND got sued by my crazy neighbor. That was enough to put me off my internet habit, I hardly logged on for weeks at a time. Now that excitement has ebbed and I have a few new [...]

A brief discussion over at SquidU got me interested in what my top 10 lenses are when looking at different criteria. Thankfully, Squidoo makes it very easy to do just that. So, my top 10 by rank: Ben 10: Colouring Pages – ranked 275/ 21 in Family category (29 thumbs up) Ben 10: Alien Swarm 829/37 in Movies (13 [...]

It was back on 21st February, 2005 that I first landed in China and spent a couple of weeks in Yangshuo in holiday mode. This city is a great backpacker destination and there are many westerners wandering around and organising themselves for the many tours that are available here. This time in Yangshuo was a [...]

I finally joined the Cupcake Club on Squidoo, publishing my first ever cupcake lens: Green Cupcakes . Not only will you find a yummy green cupcake recipe , with the best ever frosting, but there’s ideas for green baking equipment too. Yes, some of it is green in colour but all the equipment featured on the lens is eco friendly [...]

All this recent lens making activity has gotten me to a place I never would have imagined a year ago.  I am very quickly nearing the point where I will have 200 lenses! I feel like I should make it in some fashion, but still haven’t sorted out how. Maybe do a 100More Lenses for [...]

Quoting CreativeArtist: I started my art business, Creative Brushstrokes, LLC, in 2006. When I was a kid, being an artist wasn’t considered a smart option as to what a person should be when they grow up. I’m out to change that. —Who is Cheryl Paton

Quoting windygig : I was an original old time Rocket Mom type with a professional career and two children fourteen months apart, a house and husband. I saw moms like me in the grocery squeezing in a weeks worth of shopping when the kids were in bed. We ran through the joint grabbing wildly from the shelves nearly [...]
