Current creative fixation has been discovering Coco Wyo coloring pages and alcohol ink markers. This is a big deal because I lack major skill in art or color theory. But there are so many helpful posts/videos online that make this doable for me. I’m pretty pleased with my results! ☺️

Sharing because it brings me joy, and maybe it could be useful to you, too? I make custom lock and home screens for my iPhone for each holiday/season. Here’s my set for Valentine’s. If it works for your phone, please feel free to use!

I ran the adult Game Night at the #library tonight, and everyone had a blast with Camel Up. It's a quirky, unpredictable betting game for 3-8 players, ages 8+, with an average playtime of 30-45 minutes. Bonus points for unique design elements and A+ storage, too. I highly recommend it! #boardgames

Get in, loser, we’re posting lock screens.*

*I customize mine for holidays and seasons, etc. 😁

Something you don’t know before moving from the West Coast to Chicagoland is how your dog will adapt to the winters. Well…Chewie doesn’t seem to mind at all! (Here he is basking in yesterday’s 32-degree temps. 😂) #snowdog #midwestwinter #midwest

Four winters ago, as a West Coast transplant to northern Illinois, I was panicked watching the neighbor kids on the frozen pond behind our house. Now, it's a particular joy to watch them clear the outline for their hockey rink and play well into the night. ♥️❄️ #MidwestLife #MidwestWinter #Midwest

I'm in charge of creating the monthly take-home craft kits for adults at my library. This week's abbreviated hours meant a more-than-usual rush to get the new kits ready for Dec 1. I hope our patrons enjoy making this little fella & that he brings lots of joy this season! #PublicLibraries #crafts

Meet Hobbes and Macaroni, bonded brothers. It will be two years in January since we brought them home from the shelter. Can now confirm: everything you’ve heard about orange cats is true. #tonsofpersonality
