Tip of the Day

Looking for a gift for a special someone, especially someone who has it all - you should get them the Senz Umbrella. They boldly bill it "the best umbrella in the world".


The unusual shape (shorter in the front and wider on the sides, with an extended "tail" in the back), provides better coverage for couples sharing, and can withstand winds of up to 100km/hr. All this for the low, low price of only $78.

Chicago Recap

I'm baaaack! Chicago was so much fun - 2 of my sisters and one of their boyfriend's all ran the Chicago Marathon and I couldn't be more proud of them. Spectating was fun but tiring, a lot of standing around watching runner after runner go by. I also felt really bad for the runners because it got HOT out there and there was no shade.

I also sampled some Chicago favorites - a Chicago style hot dog and Chicago deep dish pizza.


My sister commissioned a painting from me months agao, and I was finally able to deliver it to her over the weekend. I originally painted the background a sky blue, but she thought a darker more grey blue would work better with her decor, so I set up a make-shift studio on our hotel room floor and re-did the background for her. See below for the before and after (sorry for the bad quality photos).
