2024 had been a 'year of completion' for me! If you scroll down, you'll see that I've recently finished writing and editing my first novel - The Nunavut I Knew! This was a four year effort!! You'll also see a post highlighting the completion of a 3' x 3' artwork that took me five years to complete using puzzle pieces as my medium. Now... I'm proud to showcase my latest artwork, that I just picked up yesterday, that is entitled 215! When you click on the link below you will see how this artwork started several years ago, as well! I kinda like seeing many of my efforts coming to an end... although their ends are more a beginning if you ask me. Now that these works are done, I've got to find ways to share them with the world! I'm about to start looking at finding a publisher for my novel. My puzzle artwork needs to find a home and 215 is about to begin a journey of it's own, as this story will show...

More Than Meets The Eye...
It recently came to my attention that many people are checking out my website on their phones! This is great... but this site is created for laptop viewing and many phone users are missing A LOT of content!
I asked one visitor to my site if she had viewed my poetry or video tabs. She didn't know what I was talking about and it became clear that she thought I only had 5 or 6 posts on this site. These 5 or 6 posts are what you are now seeing just on my 'home' page.
So... here's how you can access SO MUCH MORE content on this page, if you are using a phone...

FINALLY DONE!!! Ummmm... almost!
Many of you know that I've been working on my first novel for quite some time! It took me two years to write the first draft of The Nunavut I Knew and I've spent the last two years editing it!
I'm very happy to share that I completed this phase of this project just yesterday!!!!
Here is a link to the page I created that tells the story about how this novel came to life... and for fun, I've shared an excerpt from Chapter 1, for your interest! Please enjoy...

Devon's Gravitrax Videos on Youtube
A few months ago, Devon and I began to promote his Youtube channel where he shares a lot of fun videos showcasing our Gravitrax building adventures. These videos are very creative and will definitely crack you up in many instances!!!
I didn't want Devon to think that he'd be an overnight smash sensation... so we set realistic goals. We figured that if we could get around 50 subscribers and around 600 views of all of his videos that this would be a great!!! Well... I'm happy to share that his channel now has 36 subscribers (almost at his goal) and he's nearing 1000 views (waaaay past his goal). So this is great news!
When we first started uploading his video, Joanne suggested that we also make Youtube shorts to further promote the channel. Shorts are 10-40 second long videos that give a viewer a taste of what they'll find in our longer videos! I love how we can also add music to these videos. Anyone who knows me well will not be surprised to listen and hear how we've got a great selection of Rock'N'Roll to accompany these shorts!
