I have been blogging at Yahoo! 360 for some time. I do like it for the most part but there are issues that I am having and they bother me a lot.
First, I don’t like when it looks like some of my blogs have disappeared. I have over 200 entries in the last year or [...]

Where I Live

I was back at Green Pepper Press’s Street Team and…. what a shock! Crusade #15 is where I live.
About two years ago or so, I did a round robin altered book that had this same theme. Above is both the Crusade #15 banner and the spread I did for my altered book.
If I were to [...]

We are a few days late but here is the holiday picture for the Conroy Clan this year.
We wish you all happiness and hope in this season of love and new birth.
Victorian Ornament

I have to say that this was out of my comfort zone. Victorian is not my style. I don’t work in that era often and very seldom like what I do when it comes to that. This ornament is an exception.
The challenge was to create something using a vintage holiday image of your choice, embossing, [...]
Aspirations versus Resolutions
Posted in Just my Thoughts, tagged aspirations, goals, goalsetting, newyear, resolutions, yearinreview on 28 December 2007 | No Comments »
I have always said, in recent years, that I do not make new year’s resolutions. I set in writing my aspirations for the new year. People sort of laugh and say what’s the difference?
The dictionary says:
as·pi·ra·tion –noun
1. strong desire, longing, or aim; ambition
2. a goal or objective desired
res·o·lu·tion –noun
1. a formal expression of opinion or [...]
A Visit to 2007 Aspirations
Posted in Just my Thoughts on 28 December 2007 | No Comments »
Everyone makes resolutions this time of year. I have been through this before. I make aspirations. The difference is probably little but the one thing I know I need to do is look at this year’s progress, or lack of , before setting up for the new year. Why make the same promises to yourself, [...]
Finished Product - Pin

As I have said before, I have been checking out Tim Holtz’s blog on a daily basis as he details and describes techniques in his “12 Tags of Christmas.” I have tried the techniques with items I have on hand and I have a lot on hand. My most successful try is the background for [...]
What I was working on….

… yesterday.
Special thanks to Tim Holtz for his “12 Tags of Christmas.” The idea he used on day five gave me inspriation and the idea to make my mom a pin. I picked dominoes as they are non-porous and the Adirondack Alcohol Inks that I have had for forever it seems. The image above is [...]
Leisure Suit Larry

Okay, I am not a big game player. I occasionally pick up the WiiMote and bowl or play tennis but I don’t play Guitar Hero much. I occasionally threaten that I am going to ask for the Dancing with the Stars game for the Wii.
So, my son who swears the Wii is his likes to [...]
