Simplicity: August 2015
http://simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Doing Simple Things Well. Monday, August 31, 2015. One of the most fundamental of card-making tools is the bone folder. This handy tool allows you to fold even 120# card stock without it looking like a kindergartner folded a piece of construction paper against the grain and awkwardly pressed the crease. My apologies if I offended any kindergartners. Then, it looks just fine. If the paper is thick, even folding with the grain looks better when you've scored. So you need a bone folder. And a butter knife.

Words, Words, Words. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. I'm Sorry, Quebec. George's dreams of Ironman glory have taken us to Mont Tremblant, Quebec, this year. On our first trip to Canada nine years ago, we went to Poets Cove. Resort on Pender Island, British Columbia. There, we enjoyed time on the water kayaking, whale watching, counting bald eagles, and being tailed by curious seals. We ate delicious food, had excellent service, road water taxis to various islands, and generally made ourselves at home. This mea...

Words, Words, Words. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Why I Won't Read the "New" Book by Harper Lee. Lots of people are excited by today's release of. Go Set a Watchman. By Harper Lee. From the beginning of the media hype, however, a small but strong sense of unease rested somewhere between my bibliophile's heart and my critic's head. As a trained literary critic, I've read plenty of books because I had to read them. Most were classics, and my critic's mind often adored them. To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus gave m...
