I enjoy writing. I don't actually make a living with my English degree, so I keep a blog for fun. The blog is first draft, and as a former editor I apologize for any weird errors that may be present. I do not apologize for writing about things that matter to me. Thanks for reading.

It's not the size of your rod...

This is great.

Wonderland Expedition Kit

This showed up on Boingboing.net recently. Go look.

Wow.

Now I'm taken with the thought of creating a "curiosity box" for any number of experiences/events/books/songs, etc. It's like circumstantial evidence of a fiction book, each piece lovingly created as a mini work of art and given a patina of age. It's freaking wonderful and mysterious, like something my friend Carolyn and I would have cooked up as kids...

Again, WOW.

I'm not a HUGE Alice in Wonderland fan or anything, but the idea of such a magical gift, obviously a labor of love and hours of work, would leave me speechless and close to tears.

Now, what can I create? Uncle Jed's Hillbilly Distillery Rheumatism Med'cine Kit?

That's it!
