In 2021, my husband, youngest daughter, and I went chasing the northern lights in Wyoming. It was a four hour drive where we stayed in a hotel in hopes we could get a glimpse of these ethereal flames. However, it was cloudy that night so we didn't get to see anything. Last night, the northern... Continue Reading →
Daily writing promptWhat skills or lessons have you learned recently?View all responses I've been obsessed with painting in gouache, and lately, it's been of birds on a wire/on telephone poles (and also cute robots!). For me, gouache is one of those paints where it looks messy at first and makes me want to quit, but... Continue Reading →
Daily writing promptDo you remember life before the internet?View all responses Life before the internet was boring most the time, but that didn't mean it was bad. Being bored was a good thing, but we just didn't know it at the time. When I look back at my childhood, I remember writing stories and drawing... Continue Reading →
The other day, husband and I went to get waffle chicken at Slim Chickens (they have the best chicken!) and we were met with a thick, eerie, yet captivating fog. It was hard to see beyond 50 ft. The images are beautiful, but they don't really capture the true feeling of actually being "in the... Continue Reading →
I've been learning Bing Copilot and generating quite a lot of stuff. These vintage rose wallpapers were a hit on a facebook group I follow. It's a private group, however, I thought I'd share them on my own Facebook group, called: Imaginary Realms Art. I've printed a few of the images to use in my... Continue Reading →
I got this little watercolor sketchbook from Amazon. It was free item I received to review. What drew me to this sketchbook at first was the cute little bunnies with floral artwork, but then when I got a closer look at the paper quality, I was hooked. The paper is thick cold press watercolor paper... Continue Reading →
I was surprised to see the magnolia in the backyard bloom. A few years back only a few flowers bloomed, so I thought this bush was on its way out, but I'm so glad it's still thriving. I finished Camp Nano and hit over 100K words so I'm really happy that I was able to... Continue Reading →
The photo was taken of my oldest daughter ten years ago. Can you believe that? She's going to be 20 in a few days here. February has been a busy month with trying to decide which method of bullet journaling (bujo) to go with. I've been trying to get down from about four notebooks to... Continue Reading →
Daughter had a snow day today, which means no school. She's both excited and bummed. Excited because she can relax and not worry about doing homework, and bummed because she spent an hour yesterday making Crepes for French class and now she'll have to eat them by herself (and with me of course) or throw...

We got snow today. It's beautiful but slippery. This is a view from the study, where I spend the majority of my time writing, recording, and crafting. Here's a video of my unboxing of the Austen Woodhouse Personal and Creme Huckleberry B6. They are both leather traveler's notebook covers by Chic Sparrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikMXABdjj0Y I just... Continue Reading →
