Linda and Cliff are Retiring



Congratulations to Linda and Cliff, as they retire from teaching.  Elk Grove High School is losing two of the most creative teachers I have ever known, they were an inspiration to their students and their colleagues.

Relax, reinvent, recreate, renew, rejuvenate, reimagine .  .  . retire.

Celebrating Maddy's Journey




Great-niece, Maddy, is graduating from high school and it is cause for celebration.  She has had a difficult journey and learned at a young age that life is not fair.  Maddy has faced many challenges, nevertheless, she persisted!


Since she took an alternative pathway to graduation, I decided non-traditional colors and designs were appropriate for this special occasion.


Maddy is passionate about art and taught me a great deal about Mehndi a few years ago, so when I saw these sugar sheets, I decided to include them in her collection.  I hope she has fun painting them, but I don't recommend EATING them!  Although they are edible, they seem to have a "plastic" texture to them.  .  .Yuk!


Within a span of a week, Maddy is celebrating the end of the school year, then moving on to a challenging program to help her take the next step in her journey toward adulthood.


The world needs Maddy's gentle spirit, caring heart and creative energy.  I wish her good health and happiness as she continues on her journey.



Love, hugs and cookies to an amazing girl.
