So long.. farewell...

I've decided to shut her down. I don't have the time to blog anymore. Too many things going on. I will be on twitter and flickr daily though. Come hang out with me over there. It's been real. Peace out blogosphere.

Added to Truche Etsy this evening.

I am really enjoying this rainy weather today. Makes me want to be productive. Happy Sunday all.

Up Up and Away

This photo makes me so happy. I wish I was in one of those little balloons flying off to someplace lovely.

The love of my life



Yesterday I had to put the love of my life to rest. He was somewhere around 15 years old.

My Dearest Elmo Bear,

Thank you for bringing me so much joy for so many years of my life. You were my world. I miss you so very much. I will miss your loud purr every time I walked in the door. I will miss you screaming at me every morning to wake up and feed you. I will miss lifting up the covers for you to crawl under and curl up next to me. I will miss your head butts on my forehead. Your bad breath, your stinky farts, your adorable scrappy ear. I will miss you being at the door every single time I came home. You were one of a kind. You made people who hated cats, love cats. You changed so many peoples minds.

You will forever be in my heart. I love you so much my Moe.

This new medium is so much fun. I have so many ideas and not enough time in the day.


Doesn't he remind you of the tootsie pop guy a little? How many licks does it take...



These were added to etsy tonight. Happy St. Patty's Day. G'nite.

Photo Dreams

I've been thinking alot about photos that take you places. Places you feel like you have been. Give you a certain feeling or emotion. That you are just drawn to. Here are a few that have done this for me.



1. Laurelhurst Park, Portland, OR, 2. After the rain, 3. film.261, 4. can't define what i'm after, 5. Dachka Series 1, 6. Ohio Turnpike , 7. cargo glass, 8. Untitled, 9. 081219_02

When I was young my brother and I had a place called the "Dream Gully". It was a little dip/bowl in the grass in our backyard that we would sit in. Look up at the sky and day dream. I want to be there right now.
