Fame!

I'd like to introduce you to a recent discovery that is sure to warm your heart. Phame Academy is a wonderful non-profit organization here in Portland that supports and enhances the development of skills and self-esteem in adults with developmental disabilities through education and participation in the fine and performing arts.

Take a gander at the Sparkle Moments- videos that are amazing and give you a little background on of the students.

I'm so thankful that Lara from Blend Coffee Lounge had told me about this organization. Right now you can donate through Willamette Week's Give Guide, which is super easy, or directly through The PHAME Website.


Happy Holidays!

Mousic Monday: Mike Snow

This weekend was a craftathon type weekend...lots of coffee, good mucis, good company and vino. Nom.
We discovered a fool-proof Pandora Station: College & Indie and heard this guy playing "Animal". Both of us gals were humming along and crafting away. I hope you dig it as much as we did.

In other news, we'll have brand spanking new pieces trickling into the shop all this week!

Music Monday

I found this band via the Beck Pandora station last weekend. I really like that it is upbeat while staying mellow. Perfect for a nice long drive. My favorite song: "When I'm Small". You can check it out here on the You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28tZ-S1LFok

Sweet Rewards

After a long weekend or two of painting, the mister and I treated ourselves to some tasty beer(s) at hop & vine in North Portland

Nerding Out on Carnegie

Man, that Dale Carnegie sure knows how to lay it down. I found some of his quotes this morning while trying to find a motivational quote for work (dayjob). If you like to be a nerd like me and read quotes, knock yourself out: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/d/dale_carnegie.html

Happy Wednesday!
