Wisdom on my coffee table
My obsession with Wisdom continues...
I bought the book!
It has been residing on my coffee table for about a month and a half.
It is a beautiful piece of work.
From the exhibit, I knew that the images were beautiful, but as I flip through the book I'm struck by the way the words are arranged on the page.
It really is remarkable how much impact text can make.
This past month I've found myself simple reveling in the beauty of the book rather than soaking in the wisdom! So, I've implemented 'Saturday Afternoon Wisdom'.
Every Saturday afternoon, after my dog walking, I will take time to read at least one of the interviews.
exciting!!
My Digital Story
At long last!
Here is my digital story that I created this summer as part of Volunteer Toronto's SharedTime Project.
It was such a blast to create this.
During our three-day workshop, 10 volunteers from across the city gathered at Evergreen Brickworks and, with the help staff from the Centre for Digital Storytelling and Volunteer Toronto, we crafted our stories!
We laughed, we cried.... it was such a special experience to hear what others are doing and experiencing in the city. And there's such a feeling of 'Wow' when we gathered on the last day for the screening of our stories. To watch everyone's polished stories and congratulate each other.
Speaking of screenings.... I had the opportunity to take part in the SharedTime Premiere on the December 5th, 2011 - the UN International Year of the Volunteer +10.
I must say, it is quite something to see your work up on the Big Screen!

DIY: Super Easy Jewelry holder
Project: Jewelry holder picture frame (for hanging on the wall!)
Estimated Time: 10 minutes
Materials Required: Picture Frame, mesh-y plastic placemat, brads, duct tape, scissors
For the longest time I've wanted to make something to hold some of my jewelry. I have limited space on which to sit a classic jewelry holder, so I knew whatever I made would have to hang on the wall...or from the ceiling.
When I spotted this large black picture from at the UMBRA concept store, I decided that it was finally time to get to work!
I removed the glass and the backing from the frame.
I also found these place mats. They're made out of plastic and look like strings that were melted together. The results is a place mat with little holes in it. (Perfect for hanging earrings in!)
Step 2: Use duct tape to tape the placemat to the back of the picture frame.
Step 3: I attached some brads to the placemat.
Step 4: Attach jewelry and hang!
Tadaa!

Step 1 was to cut placemat to size. An inch or so smaller than the outer edge of the picture frame.
Step 2: Use duct tape to tape the placemat to the back of the picture frame.
Step 3: I attached some brads to the placemat.
Step 4: Attach jewelry and hang!
Tadaa!

Dog Walking is my new favourite thing.
Dog Walking Update:
I love it!
It definitely did not start out as a fun time. (Walking around in circles for 2 hours and picking up dog poop? no thank you.)
But, I've come to enjoy it as I 'bond' with the dogs more. Some dogs are more difficult than others, but for the most part, they're all adorable. I definitely have favourites. My original favourite was adopted after being at the shelter for over a month. (We're all very happy for him!) My new buddy is this guy:
Isn't he handsome? He's bigger than he may appear in this picture (picture him bigger than a retriever).
There's one dog in the shelter right now who is wearing a cone around his head and when we go for walks he continuously shakes his head to try and get it off. It's sad yet hilarious. Poor guy.
Some of the dogs have a cough, which requires us to put on protective clothing when we take them for a walk. I view it as a costume!
Dogs + strolling + a costume (sometimes) = good times!
