Let me make Etsy easy

What’s up Etsy lovers? How cool is that place? I got on board with it recently and it’s kind of a huge, awesome inspiration pit for me. I love crafty stuff, and the more variety the better. During my initial exploration of the site and gaining a bearing on things, I came to realize you [...]

Vines where you dine!

Gotta give my friend, Dan, some spotlight here. He bought a copy of “A Vine in Time” for Christmas and plugged it into a perfect spot in his kitchen. I would have been excited enough just to see it framed nicely but he really went over the top. Lookin good buddy!

I had a chance to listen to a presentation done by Mike Collins of The Perfect Workday Company at a seminar the other week.

One thing you should know about me is that I don’t take myself too seriously. So, when I have an opportunity like this come along, I jump all over it. I have a friend from my old work, Barry. Barry’s an interesting guy. He has a giant computer controlled CNC mill in his garage that [...]
