Bird Fat Book Pages

I have finally finished the pages for the fat book I signed up for late last fall. It is due next week. Nothing like waiting until the last minute for actually putting it together.
You may recall that back in this post I had tried to figure out the basic design of the front. Well, to [...]

Back on the mainland

I’m back on the mainland after a lovely 10 day Hawaiian vacation with my darling husband, Dave. We had such a relaxing time and Hawaii always puts us on the “aloha” mood. We spent five days on The Big Island in Kona and then 5 days on Kauai. Living in Phoenix, we have direct flights [...]

Sharing some photos

I love my MacBook! It has a built in camera and a program called, “Photo Booth” in which I can take photos of myself. Well, I don’t tend to take many photos of myself, but I did get my hair cut yesterday, so I thought I’d take a few shots of my new haircut. I [...]
