I've begun making valentines, I believe these ones are just warm-ups... we'll see in the days to come. Looking back, it was this time three years ago, while making valentines, that my collaging ventures got seriously started. The pictorial chronology can be found on my flickr site.
This is about stuff that makes me happy and its main purpose is to serve as a digital journal to log life's merriments. Posts include handmade originals, interesting found objects, and vignettes giving a glimpse into my life. Both handmade originals and found vintage wares are sometimes sold at my Etsy shop.
• 6:45 p.m. — A State Road 233 caller said his girlfriend was beating him because he was supposed to ask his mother for money but didn’t.

The man left and no report was taken.
