My morning session was [...]

When I travel, I never know what to expect when it comes to the quality of a hotel bed. Some are very soft; others rather hard. The beds at the Tremont Plaza were a pleasant surprise, in my opinion; comfortably soft and supportive, lots of pillows, and a big, fluffy duvet.
So on Friday I awoke [...]

Karen and I flew down to Baltimore on Wednesday. I surprised myself at being able to pack everything into one carry-on bag.

Two weeks ago I started a six-week online workshop with Pamela Hastings. The workshop, Transformational Art Dolls, is hosted by Joggles. This is my first experience with a multi-week online course. An advantage to this type of workshop is that you download one lesson per week and work at your own pace.
The first lesson focused [...]
