Don't ask what the
world needs.
Ask what makes you
come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

- H. Thurman

ben heine

Love this! Ben Heine a Belgian artist that I came across on Pinterest today! Gawd I love Pinterest...

Ben's 'Pencil vs Camera' project is absolutely amazing. I love how the imaginative world of pencil is completely in balance with the photo. Brilliant! Limited prints are available online.

I am also mesmerized by the detail obtained in his 'Digital Circlism' project. The scale is perfect. It makes me want to climb into each image to enjoy them even more!

Cancer has taken another amazing life far too soon.

A life that has made our world a better place.

Thank you Adam, for making me smile, laugh, fight for my rights and for cherishing each day...

I have grown up with your music, each album a defining period of my life filled with great memories.

My heart is with your family & friends.

#holybusy-ness!

Its been crazy busy around these parts & I am not complaining! I have fit so much into some days that my jaw is still back there on the ground amazed that I did it...

Coffee, you are my hero... *tear up* *sniff* ok I'm over it...

You may have noticed a wee change around here... There was a battle of sorts, unicorns fought with glitter and now we're all blind. Well, not totally blind, I just really like the look of an eye patch ;)

So to make it easier for those wounded by that extra fine glitter (the kind that works its way into EVERYTHING, the kind that 5 yrs later you still have someone pointing out that wee sparkle on your cheek, the kind that still makes you smile because after all, it does sparkle - oh sorry, you're made of stone and sparkly items can't crack that mug of yours... that's just cold...) we've agreed to never talk about the battle again. Unicorns aren't banned, but I won't roll out the red carpet for them either.

What we will talk about is that tr design haus and cali+blu paper co. have had a baby. awwww. 

One thing I've learned through friends that have kids: the kids rule the roost.

So, in keeping with tradition, this baby too will be in charge.

Welcome cali+blu design, you were a b*$@# to birth and I'm sure we'll end up in therapy sooner than later, but by golly I love you!

SOPA & PIPA...

The internet is an open platform to share, to laugh, to cry and to lose endless hours wandering off topic from where we first started our search... That is our choice, our freedom. I agree that piracy is wrong, but it is not right to punish everyone for the sake of the ill-hearted.

To learn more about SOPA & PIPA check out google, wikipedia, and stop the wall.

For those of us living outside of the US, this will not be contained by the border, and will affect Canadians. Read here on why to get involved.
