I read, I think, I write, I take photos. I love beautiful, useless things.

Hi, friends! I’m popping in with a request. Does anyone know of some quick tutorials on making simple pop-up books? One of my kids is taking a book arts class at her university, and has a really interesting idea for one of her projects. (Feel free to tag people or share. Thanks!)

Just peeking in quickly to wish my friends a happy Valentine’s Day, with a quick doodle I did last night. (I’ve been mostly avoiding social media lately, and will probably continue to do that for a while.)

Good evening, friends! I’ve been busy lately, but I wanted to stop in and say hi.

Good afternoon, friends! I am continuing to start the year with useful tasks—in this case, backing up files. Boring, but wise.

I’m tired, so I’m off early tonight. Stay safe, friends. Good night, see you tomorrow.

Good afternoon, friends! It’s another busy day for me, full of ordinary tasks and some preparation for a few bigger dreams for the future. I am trying very hard to direct my time and energy toward what I really want, rather than wasting it on people and things that continue to disappoint me.

Well, this day did not go according to plan. However, the important things got done, and I still found a little time to do something fun this evening, so I can’t really complain.
And now I’m off. Stay safe, friends. Good night, see you tomorrow.

Good morning, friends! It’s another busy day for me, but I’ve planned a few small nice things to look forward to this evening. 📚🫖😌

I went to see the lights display at the local botanical garden tonight, and I think this witchy tree was the best part.
And now I’m signing off early. Stay safe, friends. Good night, see you tomorrow.

Good afternoon, friends! It’s another busy day for me, but the sun is peeking out from behind the clouds now and then, and I have something fun to look forward to.

Just a little doodle at the end of this tiring day, and now I’m off to read and sleep. Stay safe, friends. Good night, see you tomorrow.

Your horoscope for today:
Be like a butterfly - break out of your shell, spread your wings, and flap about weirdly into the world.

Last repost: I probably should not complain about loneliness when my four favorite people are right here with me. (And yet…)

I’m not counting on anything, but this is a nice thought.

Happy New Year and good morning, friends!
I spent yesterday evening playing games with my kids and enjoying a box of Japanese treats that included this gachapon. A little kitsune mask might be an interesting sort of omen for a new year.

Good evening, friends! Another busy day for me, and nothing particularly interesting to share. I’d like to get back to wandering outdoors and sharing photos, if things would maybe calm down a little.
