Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys

Not my circus, Not my monkeys. Is that not the best proverb ever (it’s Polish, for the record)???

An Umble Sad Panda

I had so much more planned for this week’s post but I just don’t have it in me. As it turns out, this week’s Diva challenge was Umble, which I tackled last week for the Colours of the Rainbow challenge. So, this week I went for Zentangle-inspired art incorporating Umble and friends in this sad […]

Umbly yours, from NYC

This week I took a one-day hiatus from the whirl and twirl of corporate life for a day-trip to NYC. Since I live relatively close (north of Philadelphia) and my big sister lives there, I have been to NY a zillion times. But, I haven’t done the “tourist” thing since I was a kid. Since […]
