The fourth season of String Theory at the Hunter continues Thursday with two rarely heard compositions— Erich Wolfgang Korngold's "Suite for Two Violins, Cello and Piano Left Hand" and Leon Kirchner's "Piano Trio No.2."
The works, which were written 63 years apart, share the lush lyricism of the late romantic era, echoing the shadings of the great Mahler and Strauss, according to Gloria Chien, String Theory artistic director.
Two acclaimed violinists, Sean Lee and Kristopher Tong will be joined by renowned cellist and chamber musician, Rafael Popper-Keizer, hailed by the New York Times as "imaginative and eloquent."
Kirchner's writes of his "Piano Trio II," a single-movement work written at the request of the Laredo-Robinson-Kalichstein Trio, "I subconsciously reviewed the course that music had taken in the last several decades…my music seemed to recapitulate the past in an effort to empower an alternative future…my fantasy of course."
Korngold composed this suite for an unusual combination of instruments as a commission by pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in the World War I and also commissioned many master works for the piano left hand. Korngold, a prodigy named after Mozart and declared by Mahler "a genius" at age 9, later became known as a film composer in Hollywood, and won two Academy Awards, including one for Errol Flynn's, "The Adventures of Robin Hood."
The evening begins at 6 p.m. as Patrick Castillo, director of Artistic Planning of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, offers insights into the evening's program. The concert begins at 6:30 p.m.
String Theory at the Hunter is a chamber music series presented by the Hunter Museum of American Art and Lee University and created by Artistic Director Gloria Chien.
String Theory at the Hunter brings world-class chamber musicians to Chattanooga to perform in the Hunter Museum lobby. This season's schedule features six concerts.

David Shifrin will be joined in the Jan. 17 concert by audience favorite, the Miro String Quartet, in a program that includes Brahms's beloved Clarinet Quintet.
Thursday, Feb. 14: Wu Han and David Finckel, along with Philip Setzer, violinist for the Emerson String Quartet, will perform Mendelssohn's Trio in D Minor as well as Dvorak's "Dumky" trio in the Feb. 14, 2013 concert.

Hawaii (Big Island) Off The Beaten Path
Beaches / Bays
Kailua-Kona Off The Beaten Path
Panaluu black sand beach. It's pretty far south, but on the way to the Volcanoe National Park. Although we didn't snorkel there, I understand the snorkeling is very good there. Plus it's suppose to be a great place to find turtles because of the cool water seeping into the bay from underground. But we didn't have problems finding turtles, they were...more

Devastation Trail & Overlook
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Off The Beaten Path
We stopped at the Pu'u Pua'i Overlook & Devastation Trail. There was a picnic table here under shade so we decided to eat our packed lunches. The weather was perfect for a picnic and it turned out to be a really nice, relaxing lunch. Just past parking lot, there is an overlook of Kilauea Iki Crater. There is a path that leads to Devastation Trail,...more
Steam vents
Not really off the beaten path, but there were two very large steam vents here, with a huge amount of scorching steam coming out. One guy put his arm into it, and I can tell you, he jumped away pretty fast.more
South Point
Hawaii (Big Island) Off The Beaten Path
This place is definitely off the beaten track. When I went here in August it was just my family, some cliff divers and I. The southern most point is this big rock face that overlooks the ocean. There is a blowhole right at the point, and if you look to your right you see this magnificent rock face carved by the wind. It's a very neat place. Also, a...more

Halema'uma'u Overlook
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Off The Beaten Path
Halema'uma'u changed greatly during the 20th century. In 1924 it was only 1,500 feet in diameter but was filled by a lake of molten lava that bubbled and boiled 2,100 degrees in Fahrenheit. There is currently no red lava visible in the crater, but we have been told that it is only 300 feet below the surface. Who knows...it might be just a matter...more
Pololu Valley
Hawaii (Big Island) Off The Beaten Path
It is fun to hike down the Pololu Trail down to the black sand beach below, but don't forget to stop and take lots of pictures on your way down. The views of the cliffs and Pololu Valley, in addition to the beach below, are all beautiful to see. After we hung out at the beach for a while and had a snack, we hiked up another hill and found a tree...more

Kailua-Kona Off The Beaten Path
visit the boat docks at south point. Also on the way towards the volcano. I don't believe the hoists are used anymore. The water was an unbelieveable blue color here! We even saw snorkelers here. There was a spot where the water was somewhat accessible---if you climbed a bit. The water was so clear we could see the fish from the cliff. I understand...more
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Off The Beaten Path
Something that a lot of people look at, but do not really see, are the untouched lengths of land that were cut off from their normal environment when lava flowed all around them. When lava flows move downhill as rivers of lava, they frequently leave these patches or islands of ground that is unharmed but now surrounded by the lava. These areas are...more
Green Sand Beach
Hawaii (Big Island) Off The Beaten Path
Green Sand Beach has to be seen up close to be appreciated. There are tons of green olivine crystals in the sand, which is pretty cool to see. You've got to hike to get there, unless you have a 4-wheel drive. The hike is easy, though. It's over uneven terrain, but it's basically flat, about 4 or 5 miles roundtrip from South Point. Just drive to the...more

"Fluming" was a wild, exciting,...more

It is quite an experience to go to Mauna Kea for a sunset! I went on one of the tours, as we were just tourists and the tour companies have experienced drivers who take those roads all the time.

Lava Tree State Monument
Hawaii (Big Island) Off The Beaten Path
If you're by Hilo and headed to the Puna Coast, there's an uncrowded unheralded state reserve known as Lava Trees state monument. Here you will find a forest of lava tree trunks that must be the bane of any termite's existence. Formed when hot, fast-running lava cooled as it hit the tree trunks in a mature forest and then quickly receded, Lava Tree...more
Kailua-Kona Off The Beaten Path

Waipio Valley
Hawaii (Big Island) Off The Beaten Path
Waipi'o is an amazingly beautiful, lush valley, all the way at the end of the Hamakua Highway, well off the beaten path. The view from the lookout at the top is tremendous, and many people just come here for the view alone. I come back to see it every single time I've been on the island (three so far). We've hiked down into it twice, and it was...more
Pu'uhonua o Honaunau
Kailua-Kona Off The Beaten Path
On the west coast, south of Kona, there is the 'City of Refuge' or Puuhonua O Honaunau, an ancient refuge for those who had broken tabus. Getting here was dangerous, but then again, getting caught meant death. Once the refuges were here, they were safe.more
City of Refuge
Hawaii (Big Island) Off The Beaten Path
During our walk through the park we saw a lot of beautiful historical sites like The Great Wall, Konane Stones (old Hawaiian checker game), Hale O Keawe Heiau (a temple which houses bones of 23 chiefs), Pu'uhonau (refuge area) and the Halau (a frame structure which was used as work shed and for storage). We used our eyes, ears, senses of touch...more

You'll find this Orchid nursery on the way to Volcanoes National Park. I'm sure it's not really off the beaten path, but it was a wonderful place to stop off at and dream of owning some of their beautiful orchid plants. They sell most of their potted plants, and most have already passed inspections and do not need to go through customs to leave the...more

Looking for something neat to see on the Big Island ? why not take a drive out to the North Kohala side of the island and see the original King Kamehameha statue in Kapa'au. Years ago, the statue was on it's way to Hawaii, but lost at sea. Another one was made, and set on O'ahu. The original, once found, was retrieved from sea and placed near the...more
Visit North Kohala
On the northern side of the island, it can easily be missed. It is not off the main highway. From HWY 19 approaching Waimea you could take 250 or 270 and there is a quaint little town where the 250 and 270 meet at Hawi Road and Akoni Pule Highway (270). A few artisan shops, galleries, restaurants and pretty good ice cream from the Kohala Coffee...more

The luncheon sounds delectable!Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance...more
Actually, No Path - See Lava Flows by...
We chose this option to see the lava flows is by sea! I found this tour at $150+tax per person. You can get much closer to see the lava flows than by air. This is a sunset tour because the lava flows are much more impressive to see towards the evening. Located at Isaac Hale Beach Park, Pohoiki Road and Highway 137. Check in 5:45pm, depart Harbor...more

Consider viewing the active volcanoes on the Big Island via helicopter.

I found one I may consider that was reasonable priced. So, I have...more

See a mountain's shadow on the clouds
You will not find much to do on the top of Mauna Kea. If you came here yourself, you had better have rented a four-wheel drive vehicle for your descent. You will need to lock it into 4WD-low range so you can use the drivegears to slow your travel down the mountain as opposed to dragging your brakes. Dragging brakes cause heat build-up and,...more

Mauna Kea - Surreal at the Summit
Mauna Kea is the highest mountain on the island, and it takes awhile to drive there, so not many people do it. It's an inactive volcano. When we drove up there we felt so high above everything else, way above the clouds, that it felt very surreal, like being on another planet. It's rather desolate that high up (almost 14,000 ft.), with lots of red...more
Horseback Riding in the Kohala Mountains
I'd actually never ridden a horse before, but I thought this would be a fun, interesting way to see another remote part of the island, and it was. A number of ranches around Waimea and Kohala offer guided horseback rides for riders of varying skill; the one I picked is called Paniolo Adventures, and is in the heart of the Kohala Mountains on the...more
Waipi'o Valley - The Edge of the World

Cliff Jump at the southern most point of...
Driving south from Kona, you will see a turn off for Ka Lae, also known as South Point. We followed the drive just to say that we have been to the southern most point of the United States. I guess I really wasn't expecting much, maybe a sign for the tourists, saying "You're here!"When we finally got off of the dusty road and to Ka Lae, there was...more
Will and Grace
Once you arrive in this part of the big Island you will find every single place called something like "The Southernmost bar in the US", "The Southernmost grocery store", "The last beer in the South" etc, just because this place really is the southernmost point of the US. But, one tiny store had the name "Will & Grace". I was curious and went to see...more

It is fun to hike down the Pololu Trail down to the black sand beach below, but don't forget to stop and take lots of pictures on your way down.

In Singapore there is one place for having brunch or dinner with your loved ones in such a nice and cosy environment with fabulous food, bamboos and a wonderful urban garden I really have to write about… ARTICHOKE Cafe & Bar.
I simply love it!
The food is fresh and tasty, my favorite is the Smoked Salmon Pancake with Jim Beam sour cream and wasabi pea dukka – the different textures pop in your mouth – it's a perfect start in the new day (;. The fries are just wow! – and everything else on the menu, too. Today we tasted the Baklava Ice Cream Sandwich – awesome!!!
And because I'm such a fan my husband made me a gift – the new ARTICHOKE cookbook … and I got it signed! (;
So… if you're in Singapore… don't miss ARTICHOKE!

After our winter holiday in cold Austria – we had minus 12 degrees Celcius and snow – we came back to warm and cosy Singapore. The first time at home was quite busy that's why I have been absent for quite a long time.
But I'm back and today we had a very relaxing walk through the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Have fun and enjoy! (:

"Nice hotel but beware hidden extras"
Good points: Great location Balcony Very comfortable bed Hotel full of character Free wifi Most reception staff helpful and speak good English Bad points: Avoid Brigitte at the reception, rude and needs training No shower in the superior room despite advertising shower facility Private beach very expensive- €25 per person per day Breakfast very expensive- […] €20 for buffet and €9 for continental Only one very slow lift which is also used by staff Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Expedia
"Not what it's cracked up to be"
The location of this hotel is nice and has a front row seat to the promenade. The outdoor terrace is a perfect view for sipping some champagne. The overall aesthetic of the hotel is pleasant as well. The downsides to our experience were that the staff seemed very unenthused about interacting, fairly cool reception when interacting with the reception […] desk staff, which is annoying when you spend your hard earned money there. We had to go inside to get anyone to serve us on the terrace which is also a flop on the hotel part when you're willing to spend quite a bit on some of the delicious Taittinger they offer. There was also multiple pieces of hair in the bathroom on surfaces so you didn't get the feeling it was well cleaned. Thin doors and so hallway noise was more audible than usual compared to other hotels. Construction was going in the hotel on our floor around 8 a.m., so that was disruptive if you were trying to sleep. I can't recommend this hotel because of the latter reasons. Trying to be fair by citing some of the good things about the hotel in the beginning of my review. However, I travel extensively and a pretty large sample to judge this against - acknowledging that it is indeed an opinion. You could probably find better with a little more homework though. Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Hotels.com
Above all, the service of the staff here is first class. They really look after you. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the location excellent. The beach club is also nice with good quality lunch.Avis authentique Hotels.com
"Room with amazing view."
We had one of the Superior rooms with a balcony with a sea view....and what a view it was. You probably get the best view of the promenade from this hotel as you an see either end of the beach. Hotel staff were very helpful and accommodating. The bathroom is really clean and with marble finish. The hotel is in great location and has a lot of charm […] to it.

"A very good experience"
It was so nice staying in this property. The front office was very helpful. We had some issue in the shower area. At our request, the front office manager immediately arranged us a shower curtain so that we could use the bath room in dry condition.Avis authentique Hotels.com
"Great Location on the Promenade."
I was there for a one week vacation. I lucked into being there for Bastille Day as well, which meant a parade, live bands and beach front fireworks. They closed the main road between the hotel and beach for the parade in the late afternoon/early evening, and set up several stages with different live bands every couple of blocks and for the fireworks […] after sunset. Took a nice half day tour to a winery and Village of St. Paul de Vence. Given the hotel's status, price and Nice being an international destination, I thought the guest services staff would have been more fluent in English. I know I was in France, but I am sure many of their guests, besides me, have limited French skills beyond a few words and phrases. Also, make sure to request a room with a shower that has a curtain, or glass door or divider. Old Towne had plenty of restaurants, which most had full bar service, but not seats at the bar. I only found a few bars that had seats and served decent food. Recommendations and Acknowledgements Food, service and wine was good at the Opera House restaurant in Old Towne. If you like jazz, go to Shapko's in Old Towne on Thursday through Saturday nights for live jazz and drinks. Their waitress, Sara was great. Ma Nolan's Irish Pub, also in Old Towne was a great spot as well for bar food, drinks and watching sports. They also had a server named Sara that was terrific. Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Expedia
"Damp Bottles"
Very good hotel and staff. Let down only by a shower designed to flood the bathroom which had no floor drain. Result was smell of rotting wood door frames. Be aware that if in rooms x04 or x05 or x06 (far right of hotel), then you will be awoken at 6 am each morning by the emptying of the bottle bank directly below your window. This area consumes at […] of bottled liquids! Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Expedia

"Best hotel on the Promenade at an excellent price"
This hotel was excellent. It has the old world charm, high ceiling, ornate ballrooms, lovely lobby and entryway. The breakfast was full English, included in room price. We had a sea view at a fraction of the cost of the other well known hotels on the Promenade. The rooms were modern and well equipped, modern bathrooms. But the best part of this hotel […] was the service. They were so nice and accommodating to us arriving at midnight and then finding us a room (when they were fully booked) when travel plans extended us an extra night. They had a computer and printer available in the business center. This was my favorite hotel of our 2 week, 6 hotel trip. Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Hotels.com
"Hotel close to the beach and restaurants"
This hotel is right across the street from the beach (there are no hotels on the beach) and in a great location Although I made the reservation months in advance and paid the required non refundable room charge for the 5 nights, when we got there we were informed that our sea view room was unavailable for that night and we would have to stay in a city […] view room. In return, we were upgraded to a sea view " suite" for the other four nights. Unfortunately,, our upgraded room was on the first floor and the traffic and people noise did not die down until 1 or 2 in the morning. I would recommend that you ask for a higher floor room if noise is an issue for you or skip the sea view rooms altogether. The upgrade was nice but hard to understand why our room was not avaliable after reserving and prepaying in advance. The way it was handled by the manager could have seemed rude to some but I assumed it was just a culture difference. Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Expedia
"If service isn't your main concern."
This hotel has very nice large rooms and a good location on the beach and very close to good restaurants and small local shops. Service is lacking but I am not above toting my own luggage. Experienced better service in Paris for the money.Avis authentique Hotels.com

I went to Nice for a long weekend with a friend. We had a lovely time.

Took 3 days to fix the air condition, they told us apparently the whole floor was having problems cause previous people that checked out had complained too. So the problem should have been taken care of then not wait till we get there. We booked 3 rooms on that floor. For what we paid for it should of been more accommodating. The French could careless […] about the American people. They don't have to worry about us coming back. They don't acknowledge kindness. We also were told we were not allowed on the terrace of restaurant cause it was reserved for a party. Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Hotels.com

"A perfect place to stay in Nice"
Overall, the hotel exceeded all our expectations. The hotel was beautiful inside and out. We specifically requested a room on the upper floor with a city view to avoid any potential noise/traffic that you may hear if facing the waterfront. Our room had a large window with a gorgeous view overlooking the town with mountains in the background. The room […] was very comfortable and quiet. The hotel staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. They provided great recommendations for our side trips (Cannes, Antibes, Eze, Monte Carlo, St Paul de Vince, San Remo) with all the specifics of how to best get there and what to see and do. Alf and a staff member from Italy (forgot his name!) at the front desk were very helpful!

Public areas could do with some redecoration and updating, as they looked […] a bit tired, but the stairs and hallways have clearly been done so maybe the reception and bar areas will be next.

"Great Location a little shabby around the edges"
Wonderful location on the Promenade d Anglais, no one to open the door or help with luggage and not the best customer service, but not bad either, seemed hit or miss with who I talked to. The elevator is very, very slow. The room as exceedingly clean, and spacious by european standards. They also have electric rolladons (the exterior blackout curtains) […] which is great if you want to have a late morning start! There where a couple areas of the room that had barely peeling or chipped paint, it would be easy to fix and greatly improve the appearance. The bed and linens were great!

"What a great choice!"
The most impressive thing about our stay at the Hotel Westminster was the discounted rate we paid, which, for a large room in a four-star hotel on the promenade, was pretty astonishing. We could hardly have improved on the location or the "feel" of the place, and each of our single rooms was pretty large. The only real criticism relates to a very leaky […] and inconvenient shower, although perhaps some attention could be paid to the condition of the lift, and to the quality of the scrambled egg!

An added bonus this time was a long chat with one of the owners who is passionate about preserving the history of the hotel. The porter was incredibly helpful in getting a taxi after the airport bus went on strike.Avis authentique Hotels.com
"Nice hotel close to the beach and restaurants"
Hotel position is the best for the beach and shopping. The staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel itself has not been updated and appears very tired. The room was ok, the bathroom though was very modern. We enjoyed our stay very muchAvis authentique Expedia
"Great Location"
Direct sea view from our room. Airport bus stop very close (number 98 only 6 euro each way). On route of Nice Flower Parade.Avis authentique Hotels.com
"Old Style"
We really enjoyed our stay, we booked a sea view with a balcony which meant we could sit outside and enjoy the view in the sunshine. It is an old style French Hotel which would have been magnificent 50 or a hundred years ago and still retains its charm and beauty to this day. Buses pass outside the Hotel, including to and from the Airport but The Old […] Town is within walking distance as is the main Station so it is a good base to stay in order to explore the City. The drink prices may seem a bit steep but the cosy Bar is a nice place to relax after exploring Nice or a trip further up the Riviera. Peter Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Expedia
"Fantastic views of the promenade"
Our second stay in the Westminister, great location and really lucky to get the added advantage of having the Carnival pass straight by. The staff are really helpful and extremely pleasant. We had the Superior room with a Sea View but it is really small, but having the sound of the waves and the sun shining through window does wonders for the soul.Avis authentique Expedia
"for food and friendliness"
Excellent service, food and exceptional location. Not the the prestige but food quality and service far in excess of the hyped 'carousel' restaurant 100 yards down the prom. You won't get the hype and you won't pay the price. Choice is yours.Avis authentique Hotels.com
"Nice hotel close to the beach."
We stayed 9 nights, double room with a view, could not be better.Avis authentique Expedia
"Fabulous view over the Med, bit noisy with view."
Very good old style grand hotel in a great location. Some needed renovations going on but staff excellent and facilities good. We like generally older hotels with character and this one delivers well. Amazing marble staircase !!Wi-fi was a bit intermittent depending on area of hotel but at least fairly fast and free. Great dining room and also bar and […] terrace overlooking Prominade Des Anglias which as expected is busy and noisy. Fabulous view on ocean side. Our room was basic but adequate and well compensated by the view. Easy walking distance to old town, port area and train station. Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Expedia
"Great hotel with a few improvements suggestions"
Great hotel with 1920 Belle Époque atmosphere ! Had a room on the 3rd floor with a full view of the Mediterranean see!!! You have to ask in advance when reserving the room for a high floor and a balcony!! We asked and we got it! Large room and beautiful marble bathroom! Great staff - wifi in the room free! Don't be scared of rooms in front - the windows […] once they are closed you cannot hear any noise from outside! The few areas that I have to mentioned: carpet in the room was a bit tired and dirty, the bathtub was missing a glass or curtain so there was a bit of mess after showers and breakfast was a bit steep ($20€/person) ! Otherwise a great hotel in a great location! Btw you can take bus 98 to and from the airport for much cheaper than the taxis!!! Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Hotels.com
"Excellent beach front view"
Excellent beach front view, staff, location - highly recommend it!!!Avis authentique Expedia
"Nice - Hotel Westminster"
great location. stayed for 4 nights after 3 weeks of travelling. Beds very comfortable, room size great. only issue is the wifi you can not get the connection in your room.Avis authentique Expedia
"Classic hotel on the prom"
Must have been wonderful 50 years ago but desperately needs refurbishing. Room was hot with no air conditioning due to heating on for the winter. couldn`t open windows because of traffic noise and fumes. Didn`t get much sleep as windows didn`t keep the noise out. The staff where most friendly and obliging and did their best to make us comfortable but […] the hotel needs to come into this century. Lisez la suiteAvis authentique Expedia
"Best view"
We had a room with a balcony over looking the Mediterranean just breathtaking asks for a high floor we were on the 6th floor our room was small but to have this view made up for it. It was close to all areas Old town a small walk lots of restaurants in streets behind hotel lovely spot hated to leave Nice.Avis authentique Hotels.com
"Nice hotel in the center near the seaside"
Very professional staff, all queries and demands were quickly satisfied. Good breakfasts. My room was on the 5th floor with perfect sea view. Comfortable allocation of the hotel is the great plus.Avis authentique Expedia
"Excellent Hotel"
Excellent hotel in a perfect location on the promenade and easy walking distance to main attractions. Water pressure was a little hit and miss, but nothing else to complain about. Lovely room with balcony.Avis authentique Expedia

Hello! Welcome to another PTI Blog Hop, this month Nichole has challenged us to use the Country Living photo for an inspiration and I used a number of the elements to create a gift tag. I've used a PTI sentiment and some PTI flowers (in the background), but also included some Lawn Fawn take out coffee mugs and die cuts, Verve coffee sentiment, May Arts ribbon, Sizzix embossing folders, MFT tag dies and some water colors.
Wednesday, March 25, 2015
Friday, March 20, 2015
Another one of those thanks cards... this one used two pieces of patterned paper, a piece of letter press, the PTI Mat Stack, WPlus9 doily stamp, PTI sentiment and some gold sequins. Hope you guys are having a good week.
Wednesday, March 18, 2015
with sympathy
Happy Wednesday my friends, one of my card class regulars (and A+ Outside Inn blog commenter's) requested a sympathy card for our next crafty gathering next month, so here's my card. I've used the Sizzix/Stampin Up embossing folder, Unity background stamp and 2 Paper Smooches sets (sentiment and flower and vase) and 2 May Arts ribbon. The latest Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is "anything goes" and the CASolgy challenge is blossom. I was inspired by this big leafy green potted plant I have in my work office.
Tuesday, March 17, 2015
with appreciation
This is one of those thank you cards from that huge order I sent off last week... I had the WPlus9 sentiment die cut from a crafting pen pal and used the PTI letterpress kit for the background, one of those cards that took 2 minutes to put together, but I still love it.
Monday, March 16, 2015
hello Monday
Make It Monday, I made a quick tag uses mostly PTI In Bloom and Mini Blooms, some May Arts rbbon and a little bit of distress inks. Quick and easy. Now off to conquer the rest of the day, which wont be quite so quick and easy....
Sunday, March 15, 2015
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday... I was so inspired by Donna's beautiful card over at CAS(E) this Sketch and while I meant to heat emboss the PTI flowers in white, I accidentally grabbed the clear embossing powder, so be it. But I had fun with the distress inks, I forget how easy coloring can be. I'm going to also play along with Virginia's View "All Things Embossed" challenge. And-- in an attempt to be slightly more organized for my next crafty gathering, I'm going to say we're making this card... anyone want to join us? Wednesday, April 8th, 6-8pm.
Friday, March 13, 2015
Friend Wine Tag
Welcome to another round of Tag You're It Challenge! This time we've got the stunning tag by Gayatri. I taught a wine tag class the other night and I made this one for the class to play with. Want to know something silly? After setting up all the pieces, devouring a must needed sandwich, pouring the wine... we realized I forgot the Wplus9 Folk Art Florals stamp set (it wasn't the only thing I forgot). So check out the creative solution with hearts. We'd love to see how you're inspired.
Wednesday, March 11, 2015
just saying thanks
Okay, here are more of those thank you cards. All of them sporting some May Arts ribbon :) I am beyond exhausted over here, just switched reservation systems at the motel and the whole process has been causing me to lose sleep- not that it went poorly, it's just a process and there's an opportunity for error. Now I need some R&R (laughing b/c that's not happening today).
Tuesday, March 10, 2015
thanks x5
Okay, so I've been crafting up a storm trying to get all 35 thank you cards done and I'm so excited to say that I finished!!! Here are 5 more.
Monday, March 9, 2015
just a note thanks
Happy Monday crafty peeps. This week's PTI Make It Monday is watercolor "swooshes" and while I've definitely jumped on board with the watercolor backgrounds (and I've got this fun set of metallic water colors that add a bit of sparkle to any project), I actually followed directions (can you hear me laughing?) and did the tips in the video. I added the PTI sentiment, May Arts ribbon tabs and then used embossing paste with a PTI cover plate as a stencil in the background. It's hard to tell in this photo, but I've used a purple base. And below is another one of my thank you card order, I am going to totally overload my blog this week and share-- b/c I've been crafting up a storm and look like I'm going to reach my deadline of sending off all 35 thank you cards to Australia by tomorrow... woo hoo.

Campaigning in 1964, Lyndon Johnson, the third consequential progressive, exclaimed through a bull horn: "I just want to tell you this – we're in favor of a lot of things and we're against mighty few." He learned this progressive vernacular from his patron, FDR, who envisioned "an unlimited civilization capable of infinite progress." Poet Archibald MacLeish, FDR's choice for librarian of Congress, exemplified progressives' autointoxication: America has "the abundant means" to create "whatever world we have the courage to desire," and the ability to "take this country down" and "build it again as we please," to "take our cities apart and put them together," to lead our "rivers where we please to lead them," etc.
In 2012, Americans want from government not such flights of fancy but sobriety; not ecstatic evocations of dreamlike tomorrows but a tolerably functioning today; not fantasies about a world without scarcities and therefore without choices among our desires and appetites but a mature understanding of the limits to government's proper scope and actual competence. Tonight's speech is Obama's last chance to take a first step toward accommodation with a country increasingly concerned about his unmasked determination to "transform" what the Founders considered "fundamentals."
