show and tell, volume two

here are some of the things i got for christmas: its only a replica. but its awesome. if the steelers can win on saturday, i'll be wearing this quite a bit over the next few weeks. maybe these will make me work out.
if the steelers DON'T win on saturday, at least i can relive 2005. oh yeah. ben hangs on the tree next year. to put your i.c. light on.

because everyone needs steelers markers.
this is a band t-shirt for the postal service. sweet band. cool shirt.this is for my collaging. not a stress kit. a distressing kit.


paper for collage.
for collage, and more collage, and more collage, and more collage, and even more collage.


still a guilty pleasure.
for the little magician in me.


sweet sweet music.

worship. done techno/trance style.


this is worship for me, as well. just done with an acoustic guitar and a wise old voice.
so i can listen to all my new music. and worship.






so i can sip something warm and life-giving while worshipping to cash and sufjan.


this is a book of postcards of works of art by modern artists doing slightly left-of-center versions of bible stories. it is really awesome.


a book by my favorite author. just a collection of some of his words.




and finally, something to help me keep the rhythm of life beating not only in my heart, but in my house as well. and wherever i want to.
i am blessed far beyond what i could ever hope to deserve. i only i hope i am not merely a consumer, but one who returns the blessing to all i meet and know.

Hey! After I wrote my blog totally bashing all of our things, I was glad to stop by yours, and I was reminded that we are blessed by everything we have. I love your last line about being blessed and trying to spread that blessing... I quoted you in my comment to myself :)

Thank you for your thoughts and guidance, you are truly a blessing to us all.

peace.

Nice gifts Greg. You should ask your Mom about the coasters she got from me at the Christmas Eve Eve gift exchange this year. They will go nice with yours.

Sweet! I've been playing djembe for nearly 10 years now, and it is truly one of the most spiritual instruments I've ever owned. Enjoy!

And happy new year and all that.

Greg,
Let me know how you like the last Johnny Cash CD. We find it very powerful.

I like the album cover. Michigan Rules. Even if the Lions are a sad, sad NFL team....

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus...

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...
