Some things are so easy to do once you get the idea. For example, I have seen the saying, “Live, Love, Laugh” for years in a variety of posters, plaques and pictures. I thought it would be ice to print that in a pretty script font on a lightly washed canvas and then cut out tissue hearts and glue them onto the canvas.

It turned out just like this, but it is 3D and by changing out the tissue colors it can be color coordinated to fit in with any room decor.

I Can Read That!

One of the coolest things about the internet is how every day you can learn new and exciting things, meet unusual and fascinating people that you would not otherwise ever meet, and you can answer life’s perplexing questions with just a couple of clicks of a mouse. I just discovered an online translation service that has opened a lot of new doors for me today.

It all started out with a blog linked to one of my friends blogs. I rad her blog every couple of days and just on a whim I decided to click on some of the links in her sidebar. One of the blogs was written in French, and mentioned service de traduction. Since I don’t speak any French at all, I was intrigued and decided to find a way to translate her blog into English somehow.

My same friend had a blog linked to hers that was in German. Now, I do not speak German, but my grandmother lived there for several years and our next door neighbors where I grew up were from Berlin. So I have heard German throughout my life, in little bits of this and that. So Übersetzungsdienst as a natural for me!
