Summer Projects
This summer, I realized I needed some creative outlets, after our place was decorated. So, I have a few: making my own cards, gardening [rather, potting], researching some personal interests and writing college-like papers [insane, I know], organizing recipe collection, and making containers for my ever increasing photograph and negative collection. Its fun- but I realized I dont space these things out, I get an idea and I want to do it all in one day. So things are accomplished quickly but then I need new outlets- have any ideas for me?
Me in my "office/kitchen/laundry room/ game room"
Me in my "office/kitchen/laundry room/ game room"
yes, it is a recycle bin we use for a card table outside- but look at the flowers!
envelopes, candles, card stock, labels, and silver pen
my paint brush and new color of choice
ironic island
Researchers have found a new use for a drug found in the soils of a South Pacific Island-- anti-aging! Incredible, eh? Apparently doctors already use this drug for many things and now, lab workers are frantically finding new uses for it- Hurrah!
Read whole article here: Tests raise Life expectancy
But, what would like to point out, is that this drug is found in the soil of EASTER ISLAND. The "when-found" completely un-populated, yet anciently civilized island we all know from its row of carved statues. Historians are not certain how the population was wiped out- but think, if it was disease or age or "natural" [as in, not war], they were walking on top of the cure.
