Self-Closing Box Tutorial
Well, it’s a pictorial tutorial. I always find myself stopping and starting excruciating 10 minute long videos anyway – so a still tutorial makes more sense to me. I made this nifty little box on Wednesday. And, in order to create it, I went through several – lots – numerous videos explaining this at length…. [Read More]

I was SO honored, excited when I was asked if I would make them. I immediately got to work on ideas. I made several samples. But when it… [Read More]
Grab the Money Grad
Yes, another graduation card share. And, a funny title too, you think? Half the time, I don’t know what to name these posts. So, since this one had visible money in it, seemed appropriate. ‘Cause what graduate doesn’t like receiving money?? And, oh ya, run with this money, it’s a folded $1.00 bill! Looking at… [Read More]

A week ago today, we were in Boston to watch our daughter graduate from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts! She received a Bachelor of Arts in Japanese Language and Culture. We are all so proud. And of course… [Read More]
