Lessons From A Cat

Lessons From A Cat

One of the things that I admire the most about my cat is that he's always getting into new things, even though he never leaves the house. Since he was rescued, he's been a completely indoor cat. Sometimes my dad will carry him outside to wave goodbye to me as I leave,...

Happy For Pete's Sake Day! Let's try to use that expression as much as possible today! I know that I haven't been posting as much as I usually do, and I'm sorry. Don't worry, though. Nothing is wrong! I'm just working on some other things. If you miss me too much, it...

Selfie Flash Mob

Selfie Flash Mob

Every month, I host an event in the community. This month, I thought it would be cool if a bunch of people started taking pictures of themselves on their phones at the same time, and Selfie Flash Mob was born. I expanded it and asked people from all over to join in....

Army Of Lovers: Valentines To Strangers

Army Of Lovers: Valentines To Strangers

You know when things line up perfectly? Maybe it's all the green lights in the city at the same time, cutting minutes off your morning commute, or maybe it's when all of your friends magically want to do the same thing in the same night. Most recently, for me, I had...

Celebrate Valentine’s Day!

Celebrate Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, you lovin' fools. I'm writing to you from San Francisco, which I can't wait to share all about when I get back to Baltimore. Although, I kind of don't want to go back! My desire to live here is stronger than my desire to live in Chicago, which...

Valentine Workshops

Valentine Workshops

I was really lucky to be offered the chance to teach not one, but two workshops in DC! It's a great time of year for mail and being creative. People still really love to make valentines, which is great! My first workshop was at Melissa and Lisa's store, Analog. We had...
