Postcards in the Air : MEASURE YOUR LIFE
http://marthaslavin.blogspot.com/2016/11/measure-your-life.html
Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, November 25, 2016. The Mindful Life Project, a great name for a small start-up non-profit founded by JG Larochette, a 3rd -grade teacher in Richmond, CA. Salute e Vita, a restaurant in Richmond, run by Menbere Akilu, an immigrant from Ethiopia. What do these two have in common? We spent last Friday night at an event for the Mindful Life Project, and had a delicious dinner beforehand at Salute e Vita. But that is not what these two have in common.

Postcards in the Air : January 2017
http://marthaslavin.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, January 27, 2017. Yellow: my favorite color. Bright, cheery, light-filled, the color of the sun. I needed to find yellow this week. As an artist, I use the color wheel to make colors shine. Yellow, by itself, can be soft and comforting. I add yellow's analogous colors - green and orange - around yellow to make yellow more varied. What are you doing this week to step out of your comfort zone? Friday, January 20, 2017. Tomorrow is a big day. Image...

Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, September 30, 2016. Gus is one of my many nicknames. Bill has not been afraid to put aside all of his business acumen to take on the challenge of photography. He takes photos with the same single-mindedness as he does with all of his activities. And the proof you will find in these photos of birds. Enjoy his photos. Let me know what you think of them! Friday, September 23, 2016. Here's the advice I wasn't going to give (from last week's blog):.

Postcards in the Air. Art and Thoughts on the Wing. Friday, August 26, 2016. DO YOU STILL USE A PENCIL? One of these days a pencil will be an object of curiosity in a museum somewhere. These are my two favorite kinds of pencils. If you visit an art school, you will walk into rooms filled with computers with students creating magical designs using various design apps. You will be hard pressed to find a pencil except at the instructor's desk. The first sketch to lay in the background. All of this could als...

Tuesday, June 16, 2015. So I thought Frankenmuth. Was just a big Christmas store. And a Famous Chicken Dinner. Boy was I wrong! It is the cutest Bavarian looking village in the middle of Michigan. We didn't even get to the Christmas store, as there were so many places to go in the one short day we were there. We also happened to show up on a day that had live music outside, which added to the ambiance. The kids and I went with my mom and dad, and had a great time. Links to this post. Tomorrow, the big pi...

Thursday, April 16, 2015. So many of my friends that used to scrapbook, have quit. Is scrapbooking passe now? I used to LOVE to go to crops, enjoying all the paper and stickers and glue. But I hadn't scrapbooked in a really long time. I was inspired by something my friend, Amy Gretchen. Soleil's choices on the left, mine on the right. I am doing Project Life, and I have lots of extra cards. If you could use some, comment below, and I will mail some to you :). Links to this post. Monday, April 13, 2015.

The weather was perfect, cool with a breeze and clear blue skies.It was cool enough that we made a fire in the fire pit and that kept us toasty while we were outside. Sandra with her big Smile. And Of Course Me. I pray next year God will see fit to let us be apart of more retreats. Love and blessings,. Posted by Butterfly Works. November 19, 2011 at 4:54 PM.
