Decoupage Experiment This fits into a crafty version of the Personal Photo Project. Even though almost everybody thinks it is a bad idea, except Michelle and Jesse, I’m really considering decoupaging a photo montage onto a wall or two or three in my house.

I have to confess that I did flop a couple (nearly all) of these days around for convenience and to work around special events. This is a practice I don’t condone, but one that I won’t shy away from in the future. The 3rd 7 days of the 365 Day… Read More »365 Day Photo Challenge: 15-21

My man Willy McAlpine (I think he should run under the name Willis McAlpine, but that is just me) recently entered and dominated a 5K in Nevada. He won the event by almost 2 full minutes. A domination that I hope does not deter future runners from competing against him.… Read More »Glory
