It’s Wordless Wednesday, and it’s also the last day of the Ultimate Blogging Challenge and the A to Z blogging challenge. I’ve really enjoyed these challenges, and it’s hard to believe that they are over. They’ve taken me from the coldness of April 1st to the loveliness of spring. So, to celebrate, I decided to […]

Yes, you can. Yes, I can. Do you really want to do something? Are you committed to practicing and putting the time and effort into making it happen? Well, then yes, you can do it. Notice, I didn’t say you will get rich at your new skill. Because, for sure, I haven’t figured out that

Okay (that’s an O word)…. maybe not, but it’s still fun alliteration. And it’s good to be open to the opportunities, no matter what the opportunities may be, even just making up random alliterations.

Well, not exactly. Yes, I have painted a whole bunch of eggs, and I am excited about continuing the egg painting process, but I am not mass producing them. I have to paint more because I’ve given away most of the eggs that I’ve already painted and it’s not Easter yet. Today, I painted three

After painting eight wooden eggs, I was starting to feel as if inspiration had fled. Nevertheless, I decided to paint three wooden eggs today, even though I had absolutely no plan in mind for them.
