ruth’s wn entry: one little word.

Last year I took up an Ali E. challenge (a theme in my life, eh?) and participated in ONE LITTLE WORD.  The idea was to come up with a defining word for the year.  My word for '07?  Genuine.

DAILY SOMETHING: Cards or Written Messages That Convey Sentiments?

I spent yesterday afternoon creating "cards" for my bridesmaids. I didn't want to attach an impersonal card to each of their gifts, so I decided to dig up old pictures, use my scanner and my "Creative Delights Companion" to create some written messages.

ruth’s wn entry: my writing.

My writing is evolving.  I'm beginning to reach the art of just letting it be --  meaning allowing the words to take me and in the process evolve into new ideas.  I used to sit down knowing exactly what I want to say and then saying it in a way that was logical, practical, and efficient.… Continue reading ruth’s wn entry: my writing.
