JOIN FAIR TAX MOVEMENT!

Been meaning to read the Fair Tax Website info for some time & finally did it. I am all for this and want to show my support. Check out the Fair Tax Website at www.FairTax.org and see for yourself.

I believe workers should keep their whole paychecks, don't you?

Hollywood Strikes Again...Grrrr!

The country teeders on the edge of recession; many cannot afford gas, the mortgage payment & God forbid FOOD...but Hollywood actors feel justified in demanding double payment for DVD sales, and increased payouts for online viewing of their work. Now, I may be way off base here, but after 100 days of the writers strike, I am fed up with Hollywood greed. It doesn't seem like the best time to gain anyone's sympathy when most of the country (and world for that matter) is having the toughest time surviving. And as big a movie & television viewer as I have been over the years, it wouldn't hurt me a bit to turn it all off & read or do crafts.

Crafting takes over...

In between stints at work I have managed to do a few new craft projects. One can be viewed here.

Its a great day when felt finds its way into my needle & thread. FUN. Found this cool software called SKITCH which allows you to capture & tag photos & publish to web. Though screen shots have been around awhile (at least 4 macs), SKITCH allows you to draw into your images. Pretty cool. Anyway, I'm just learning it. Thanks & a hat tip to Deb, too, for turning me on to COMIC LIFE. Comic Life lets you turn your photos into a comic strip or book. It is really awesome. Both available from http://plasq.com.

Great Green Video - PVC Poison

Just found a great green website to alert the consumer. This one has a terrific kid friendly video. You can watch it by visiting here.

They have a great Take Action Page. Though I knew certain plastics were bad, I had idea how much PVC was still around in shower curtains, toys & packaging. PVC is "dangerous throughout its entire life cycle of production, use and disposal. Consumers can identify it by looking for the number “3”, “PVC” or the letter “V” inside or underneath the universal recycling symbol. In addition, soft flexible PVC products often have a distinct odor, such as vinyl shower curtains. When produced or burned, PVC plastic releases dioxins"

October Rain

Seems I get so busy surfing the web & other blogs, adding on to my own takes a back seat. Today I added some photos & 2 of my latest crafts.

This Web stuff is tough!

Man, I can not believe how long it takes to get this stuff right. 2 hours & 7 versions it took to get a proper graphic tied to the page. And it still doesn't look right. fortunately i got up at 3 in the morning.
3 days and counting till the 3rd season of PB.
View of really unusual fungi from a walk in Highlands, NC. Google has 231,000 images for fungi; so ID out of the question right now. (Looks like a sea coral.)

How many millions of people do this; have done this...
This is my very first blog; its a big world out there & kinda scary to think you give information, pieces of yourself to the world.
But here goes.
Art is my life; my heart. Everything I do travels back to a place in me that is creative; a need to create, produce, disseminate that which i see & inspires me. Like so many other artists, craftspeople, musicians, dancers, writers, actors; something drives that need.
