Working with polymer clay is not as easy as it looks on Youtube. Baking polymer clay is not like baking a cookie – it doesn’t get crispy when it’s done. It will still be soft. So if you start smelling the weird plastic smell? It is over cooked. Chances are good it’s burning. That awesome […]
Monday is Halloween, which naturally means you start celebrating Friday night! While we were on vacation a couple weeks ago, I had a hair-brained idea, and this list is the result. While I’m not a fan of super-scary Halloween stuff like haunted houses or really gory horror movies, I LOVE the tamer side of the […]
Holy moly has it really been since February since I last posted?! I am one pathetic loser! Sadly, I have nothing of importance to say at the moment. I do have a handful of book reviews to write up and post, and I’m in the middle of the 3rd Annual IGGPPC Summer Camp! Aside from […]
…no…please, keep your clothes on! 😛 Gratitude List Day 4 – “My socks may not match, but my feet are always warm.” -Maureen McCullough Today I’m thankful for heat. This time last year – in addition to recovering from surgery, we were also having a geothermal furnace installed…it took the entire week, and we were […]
Day 3 – “As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” -John Fitzgerald Kennedy It’s Veteran’s Day, so I am grateful for the service and sacrifice of all our military personnel, past or present.
Day 2 – “I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.” –T.S. Eliot Today, I am grateful for the experience of being diagnosed with a chronic illness. No, I’m not being sarcastic J Without it, I wouldn’t have learned so much more about how strong I am – how I handle the curve balls […]
One of our wellness programs at work is through a company called Keas (LOVE them…they make improving health and wellness fun!) and each week during the challenge, we are to choose goals. This week I decided to pick the Gratitude List…and while I’m a big believer in expressing gratitude on a daily basis, not just […]
Another feature at IGGPPC Summer Camp this year was a creative writing project called “Write a Letter to Your Nemesis” – the idea was to pair up with another Iggle and exchange letters written from the perspective of an infamous duo (Batman/Joker, Doctor Who/Dalek, Peter Pan/Hook, Alice/The Queen of Hearts…you get the idea!) I didn’t […]
It’s that time of year again! Time for IGGPPC Summer Camp! (Ok, actually now that I’m taking the time to do this, camp is over and out – the sadness has set in, and I miss all the fun activities!) One of the activities for Camp this year was to write a 1K word (or […]
…or a more catchy title for a health update. (Hey, I had to get you to read this somehow!) Alrighty…so, after perusing my blog, I realize the last update I shared was regarding surgery…that was back in November! Not a ton has happened between now and then, I mean, at least not physically or procedurally, […]
