The fourth customer (yes, I’m counting) just walked in the door with this shirt on.  Their website is full of unique merchandise which helps children overcome poverty, violence, and illness.  And they cater to Crazy Dog Mom’s such as myself.

Have you ever come across a radio show and thought, Who writes this stuff?  When I’m not spinning my classic vinyl I’m listening to the Sixx Sense show.  The topics are wild, funny, and informative.  When we listen to radio, no visuals are included.  But I guarantee after listening you’ll create your own visuals.  Their crew does a good job of finding what’s new in music (rock) along with playing the Classics.  They’ll keep you tuned in and coming back for more.  I recently connected with Kyle Chrise via Twitter.  He’s a writer/producer for the radio show.  He’s also a stand-up comic, and the bassist for the indie rock band The Teenage Prayers.  Their music is available on iTunes and look for a new release later this year.  I LOVE to discover new music!

I will turn 40 is less than two months (it’s getting easier to say).  To celebrate I “might” get my first dose of ink.  What subject?  Photography of course!.  Maybe a piece of film?  Now to find the body part that is the least painful area to drag a needle over.  Suggestions?

Shut the front door!  Pizza & Grilled Cheese, together.  Here’s the recipe.  I’ll be substituting the meat with fresh veggies from my garden.  Yum!

So, today is Friday the 13th.  Are you superstitious?  Here’s 13 Freaky Facts to entertain, educate, and freak you out.

A classic game show from MTV.  Gotta love the 80s.

People often ask me where I get my digital prints developed.  I use Walgreens a lot.  For two main reasons:
  1.  They are local, roughly two miles from my house, and open 24 hours.
2.  They offer online specials all the time.  Free 8×10 prints cover the walls of my house.
{Okay, perhaps that’s four reasons}

And for professional digital prints I use Miller’s Professional Imaging. When I want to go above the 8×10 format size I use the professional lab.  They ship fast and orders over $10. ship free.  I have awesome 16×20 prints of my photography in my living room.

When I go back to using film I’ll need a resource for developing the rolls.  So, if you have one that is within an hour of travel time from my location please leave me a comment below.  I reside in the middle of the Tri-State area (IL-WI-IA).

Creative way to use pipe cleaners when adding the tag to a gift.  I will be trying this.  Personalize the package by using the recipients favorite color or coordinate for the holiday.
