I’m always so torn when it comes to this decade. On the one hand, it was such a fun decade of excess and decadence, but only for a small percentage of the population. And when it came to people of color, the percentage was even smaller. I know you didn’t come here for a history lesson,…

Style Imitating Art Inspiration: Fiber Arts
Welcome to the first Style Imitating Art of 2020! I’m so happy to have you here. If you’re a regular, you’ll notice a few changes… I’ve created a new badge. I wanted something eye catching and complimentary to my blog. I created it using one of the templates available at PicMonkey. I’ve also added a new STYLING IDEAS section beneath the Inspiration Art Work area. I plan to use this section to give you styling ideas. You don’t have to follow my suggestions, I just thought it’d be fun to share thoughts on how to interpret the inspiration piece.

Friday Favorites 03|52
Happy Friday, y’all! Welcome to Friday Favorites. How was your week? Mine was super busy. This was the first week of classes so everyone was oh-so busy. Next week will be a bit of the same, but a little bit slower. I have a couple of library sessions scheduled, so I’m excited about that. Did you see this week’s Style Imitating Art post? It always amazes me that we can all look at the same thing and see something so different, yet incredibly similar. I know that sounds convoluted, but take a look at the post and you’ll see what I mean. Are you a baker? You need to check…

Ours started off bumpy but ended quiet enough. Bleu woke me up early Saturday morning, whimpering because of the storms. She’s terrified of thunder. After things settled down, she slept all day long while I drank even more coffee than usual. LOL ABOUT STYLE IMITATING ART Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar {14…

Where Bloggers Live: My Place of Work
I’m the director of library services at a community college in Louisiana. For the most part, I like what I do. I enjoy helping students and collaborating with the instructors. I’m an introvert, so I sometimes get overwhelmed with all of the peopling that I have to do. During those times, I usually go sit in my car to decompress. Or take walks around the campus. We recently moved into a new building and, y’all, it’s pretty impressive. Along with being the director of library services, I also handle the social media for the college, so I was able to get a front row seat to the construction. Watching the…
