It’s Official: I have an Etsy Store!
I’ve had enough interest in my art to make me think people might actually want to own some. ๐ So, I created a store on a site y’all have probably heard about: Etsy.com.
A Dozen Years of DEG
Today marks my twelfth anniversary at my current job with DEG. A dozen years. Wow! What does one say about such an occasion? Well…read on and find out. ๐
My Night at Treads & Threads
Here in Kansas City there is a large gala fundraiser for The University of Kansas Hospital Cancer Center every year called “Treads & Threads”. Through my company and specifically my own job, I’m able to work with this group for their digital needs – and I love it!

DEG is Rocking at 150
I’ve mentioned before that the place I hold “a real job” can be totally awesome and pretty damn awesome. Hmm…maybe I need another word for awesome…although it’s pretty appropriate. We’re awesome…and a lot bigger!
Tico time & pura vida
Trying really hard to get my brain & body back into family, commitment & work mode. It ain’t there yet. After being back in the States for three weeks, I’m still mentally on Tico time…and if I’m completely honest, I kinda prefer it.

But, this time I have to let my straight-flag fly and tell y’all just how awesome my workplace can be!

You might think the title of this post is an exaggeration and it is…by only the tiniest of margins. But I survived to tell the tale.
It was a work call…
Criminal Minds is still one of my favorite shows andย as a die-hard fan I am, of course, all for the Penelope/Derek hookup. Last night, this episode was on again and I loved their little exchange.

She was sent to earth solely to keep good people, like me, from obtaining a desirable weight. Her instrument of torture today: RED VELVET CUPCAKES!
