A New Website and Christmas Break!

Painting with Cats
It’s kind of like “Running with Wolves” or “Swimming with Dolphins” but much less majestic and a lot more messy. So one of the things that’s been on my “Bucket List” is going to a cat cafe. I always figured I’d have to go to New York City or a more trendy, metropolitan area in... Continue Reading →

Adventures and Artistic Endeavors: The World of YouTube You’re Probably Missing
This week’s Tuesday video (I really need a fun name for it.

It probably won’t be my highest viewed video (as my music... Continue Reading →
I Want to Do All the Creative Things (But I Can’t Seem to Find the Time)
Are you a creative person? Do butterflies rise up in your stomach at the idea of creating new things—whether it’s cartoons or fashion or stories or new recipes or computer programs?
