I Moved!

I decided to move the blog to a new location. You can now find me at Dewey Scrapper. See you there!
Taking a Little Break
I’ve decided that I need a little break. I’m not sure where this blog is headed, and not really sure where I want it to go. I am not going to stop blogging. I see the value in blogging, but I just need some time to figure what my direction will be.
See you soon!
Waiting on Wednesday: Rescue
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
This week’s pre-publication can’t wait to read selection is:
Rescue by Anita Shreve
A rookie paramedic pulls a young woman alive from her totaled car, a first rescue that begins a lifelong tangle of love and wreckage. Sheila Arsenault is a gorgeous enigma–streetwise and tough-talking, with haunted eyes, fierce desires, and a never-look-back determination. Peter Webster, as straight an arrow as they come, falls for her instantly and entirely. Soon Sheila and Peter are embroiled in an intense love affair, married, and parents to a baby daughter. Like the crash that brought them together, it all happened so fast.
Can you ever really save another person? Eighteen years later, Sheila is long gone and Peter is raising their daughter, Rowan, alone. But Rowan is veering dangerously off track, and for the first time in their ordered existence together, Webster fears for her future. His work shows him daily every danger the world contains, how wrong everything can go in a second. All the love a father can give a daughter is suddenly not enough.
This title will be released on November 30, 2010.

Saturday Six: Picture Fall
I’m taking a class at Big Picture Classes called Picture Fall. We’re given one photo prompt per day from Oct. 1-Oct. 31. At the end of the class, the goal is to have 31 photos that represent fall. My personal goal is to create a mini book at the end of the month with the photos from the class.
Here are my photos from the first six days.
Day One: The Quintessential Fall
Today’s prompt was to take a picture of a fallen leaf. It was getting pretty late in the day when I took this one. I got out of the car in LeClaire, Iowa and saw this leaf right away. 
Day Two: Get Comfy
The photo prompt for day two was to capture an image of our easy chair. Since I was out of town for this prompt, I took a picture of a chair at a local library.
Day Three: The Beauty Challenge
We were prompted to take a photo of something slightly out of the ordinary. The photo prompt urged me to look beyond the normal signs of fall and take a picture of something most people wouldn’t notice. The photo on day three is a close-up of corn stalks in Galena, IL.
Day Four: Morning Light
This prompt urged me to look around me at morning light and capture a photo that really emphasized that light. I got up a little late on day four, so I almost missed the morning light, but I think that this photo in an antique store still illustrates the light.
Day Five: Little Reminders
Today’s prompt guided us to look around us and take a picture of something that illustrates visual reminders of things we want to remember. I immediately thought of my one little word, and took a photo of my word on a necklace that I own.
Day Six: Subtleties
On the sixth day of class, we were asked to find something monochromatic. There are some bushes right by my house that are a beautiful shade of red.
Waiting on Wednesday: An Object of Beauty
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
This week’s pre-publication can’t wait to read selection is:
An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin
Lacey Yeager is young, captivating, and ambitious enough to take the NYC art world by storm. Groomed at Sotheby’s and hungry to keep climbing the social and career ladders put before her, Lacey charms men and women, old and young, rich and even richer with her magnetic charisma and liveliness. Her ascension to the highest tiers of the city parallel the soaring heights–and, at times, the dark lows–of the art world and the country from the late 1990s through today.
