Showin’ Some Love
It’s been a while since I put together a Showin’ Some Love post, so I figured I’d do just that today. This Showin’ Some Love is going to focus on music…or more specifically, bands. Thanks to my husband I have a rather eclectic taste in music. I listen to everything from Metallic to Eisley to …
Embracing My Smallness

15th Annual 8th Grade Career Fair | Richland Community College | Decatur, IL
Well this was my fourth time talking at the 8th Grade Career Fair at Richland. I really enjoy getting to talk to the kids every year. It’s fun! And I try to make it fun for the kids too. This year I was asked to talk about design specifically. I’ve been so focused on photography …
