Found at Hudson’s Notebook is this meme which issues a challenge: describe your life in six words.
I couldn’t, I had to use seven. Here they are:

Sunday Collection: Luurve
Sunday, February 17th, 2008Well it seems entirely appropriate, in the week of Valentine’s Day, that this collection is about love.
My first link is to a reel life marridj propsl in I Can Has Cheezburger.
Those of you who are not enchanted with Lolcats will have no idea what I’m talking about, but Cheezburger is one of my guilty blog-reading […]

That was a photographic project and this week I wanted to try something handmade that didn’t rely on digital effects. It occurred to me that I don’t have any nativity scene or crib in my house, and I […]
