This week I’ve had the opportunity to use the Zoom tool to meet up (virtually) with a wonderful group of women from my church. It was so nice to see their faces in “real time”. I hope that you are finding ways to connect and reconnect with people virtually while we get through this pandemic. […]
The Importance of Social Distancing
The CORVID-19 virus has had a devastating impact around the globe. We are likely a bit behind the curve in getting a handle on it in America, but people are now stepping up and beginning to understand how important it is to “flatten the curve”. During this time, it is difficult to know how to […]
Be Safe – Be Sensible
There have been a lot of jokes about the people hoarding toilet paper. By the way, that needs to stop. Now. Really. Stop. But that hoarding “reflex” comes from a good place. We all want to take care of our families, friends, ourselves. And while there has been a lot of scary information floating around, […]
Spring On the Way!
I don’t know about you, but endless gloomy, cloudy days wear me down. I find my creativity slowing to a crawl and that makes me feel “less than” my best self. I spend more time on the computer which, while useful and enjoyable, is also largely a creative drain because my time is focused on […]
When Creativity is Learning What NOT to Do
I’ve been in a bit of a creative slump lately. So today I decided that, no matter what, I was going to devote my day to something creative. Little did I know I would learn an important lesson. I decided I would first do a quick little design on my Silhouette Cameo 4. I’ve been […]
Phil Predicts Early Spring
Here in Texas we had a beautiful 70-degree day! While Phil was pulled out of his little stump in the midst of snowfall, he still “predicted” an early spring! How wonderful it will be to have extra fun days to whip out the balloons, face painting, and crafting fun for gigs where we don’t have […]
Endings
At the end of 2019, I closed my soaping business (Merry Sherry’s Small Batch Soaps). Last week I sold off all my supplies and equipment. It was really hard to let this business go. It was never much of a money-maker, but I enjoyed the soap making process from beginning to end. I will continue […]
Happy New Year
Each new year brings us the opportunity to find joy, peace, creativity, community, hope. My sincere hope for each of you reading this is that – whatever the time of year – you would experience all the good that life has to offer. Blessings for 2020!
Changes for 2020
If you follow my Facebook page, you know that I am closing my soaping business (Merry Sherry’s Small Batch Soaps) at the end of 2019. I’ve been making soap since I was a little kid and created Merry Sherry’s Small Batch Soaps a few years ago. While I’ve enjoyed it, soaping today is a very […]
Thanksgiving!
The leaves are falling so fast around here these days – and all the colors are screaming THANKSGIVING! Beautiful reds, yellows, oranges, and touches of purple here and there. We don’t always get pretty leaves in this part of Texas. But this year has been very nice. I’m getting ready for my final show of […]
