    Check, check, and check

    ETA: you can view a sample by clicking the going to The Balloon Lady (book) > The Book > The Preview in the nav bar above, or by heading over to this cute little splash page here. So, my Month Of March Book-ing-ness is almost over, and guess what…. I’m done! Well, mostly. The iPad…

  • 21 things progress (new, with a legend!)

    21 things progress (new, with a legend!)

    I’m a photo session at walmart, a large check, and a trip to the library away from getting my passport. A bunch of new clothes and my converse shoes(!!) should arrive in the next two weeks, and I should also be able to finish that off in a few weeks and be all ready for…

  • That one question

    That one question

    Do you feel any different now? I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel a little different. Because for the first time in a while, I do. It’s a weird sense of accomplishment, being 21. Maybe it’s because I’m giving myself permission to step completely out of my box and just live as myself, as…

  • 21 in 2012 {list}

    21 in 2012 {list}

    Turns out, I’m really happy that I started thinking about this list ahead of time. Because 21 things (of ranging feasibility) can actually be a little harder than you’d imagine to come up with. But most of these things are actually really doable, which is what I was going for. Now I’m going to take…

  • Recap 2011

    Recap 2011

    In January I made a series of posts of things I wanted to do this year. Most of the stuff on those lists I didn’t do, but I did make a lot of progress in some of the areas I mentioned and in other related areas that I didn’t name. I liked having a smidgen…

  • One Year (of Painting)

    One Year (of Painting)

    Last year, today, I started painting. I took my first painting lesson and painted some flowers in a vase. So I thought, that it would be fun to put up my first painting, and my last painting side by side.  I didn’t paint today, so it’s not *exactly* a 8/25-8/25 year, but it’s close, and…

  • Magic (or, I can make faces!)

    Magic (or, I can make faces!)

    Today, I finally played some WoW, leveled and then started painting. With my tiny new brushes, I can make faces!!!! in watercolor (and acrylics, but still)! I’m very excited. I realized something today, I have a lot of projects going on (in my head) and I need to figure out how to do them all…

  • The Balloons

    The Balloons

    The past few days I’ve been working more on some screenwriting for our short film based on my book, The Balloon Lady. Our working title is currently, The Balloons. We’ve been brainstorming for a few months and working out what we’ll need – like a camera (our Canon T3i) and making random short videos on vimeo…

    Offer

    I posted this on my facebook page, Kiery’s Whimsy last night, and thought I’d extend it here: Throwing this out there for any writers: I’ll work on your book illustrations for the cost of supplies (like $10-$20) and credit if/when it’s published (I’m available to do an image or two for blog posts/articles also, waiving the…

  • I'm Better!

    I'm Better!

    I’m so close to being back to normal, I’m really happy. Today I finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and walked to the library to take out the Half Blood Prince, and then reserved the Deathly Hallows (on CD!). Can’t wait to finish the series, honestly. It’s moving and hits something that…
