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… Continue reading A New Year – A New Start
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… Continue reading Where I Live

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.

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.… Continue reading Aspirations versus Resolutions
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,… Continue reading A Visit to 2007 Aspirations
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… Continue reading Finished Product – 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… Continue reading What I was working on….
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… Continue reading Leisure Suit Larry
