5 Tiny Coastal Cottages
Cottage 1. New England Classic
Square Feet: 850
Location: Provincetown, MA
This charming 1930s cottage has all of the classic Cape Cod elements like cedar shingles and wood shutters. Its wraparound deck was expanded to welcome the family's summer guests.
Living Room
The AC window units were replaced with central air, unblocking the windows to let in more sun. Whitewashed floors and ceiling beams reflect the coastal sunlight.
Deep blue-painted cabinets and shelves in the small galley kitchen give the room elements of depth and drama.
Dining Room
Existing windows in the dining room were extended into French doors to allow easier access to the deck.
Antiques and items imbued with personal meaning take center stage in the master bedroom, including an oyster-veneer chest and a gilt-framed painting.
These Seaside Cottages Have Coastal Charm
Cottage 2. California Charmer
Square Feet: 390
Location: Point Reyes, CA
This bathhouse on a former dairy farm functions as a guesthouse with a kitchen, bedroom, and showers. Classic farmhouse elements, like a gabled roof crafted of red corrugated metal, tongue-and-groove siding, and a sizable wraparound porch, helps the small space fit in as a scaled-down version of older buildings on the property.
Kitchen and Bath
Painted wood paneling and a double-hung window above the kitchen sink add a dose of cottage charm. Saloon-style doors stylishly separate twin shower stalls from the kitchen and living area.
Fourteen-foot ceilings with exposed rafters lend an airy feel to the bedroom despite its small size. Buffalo-check comforters, a handmade bench, and an antique dresser outfit the room with Americana style.
In a cottage with such a tiny footprint, space for outdoor living is key. This porch, with its steel overhead barn light and unembellished wooden railings, feels like an extension of the indoors. The same composite flooring is used in the kitchen and bath as well, further unifying the spaces.
Cottage 3. Pint-Sized Beach House
Square Feet: 200
Location: Cape Cod, MA
What it lacks in size, this tiny surf shack makes up for with direct beach access. Its shingles fit in with surrounding homes, while a fresh coat of paint on the shutters stylishly sets it apart.
Rope pulls and sailcloth shades link the small kitchen to the living room's décor. Open shelving shows off collected dishware and makes the area feel more spacious than closed cabinets would.
A wood sink base blends in with the walls, creating a seamless design. Hooks throughout the bathroom make room for washcloths and beach towels alike.
Living Area
This daybed functions as a sofa in the living room. It's attached to the wall via brackets, but nautical ropes make it appear to float.
With built-in open shelving, beach towels and other coastal accessories become decorative elements.
Cottage 4. Tiny British Beach House
Square Feet: 396
Location: Seasalter, England
At just 11 feet by 36 feet, this cottage on England's southeast tip is truly tiny! The narrow strip of beach it sits on is dotted with similar chalets.
Inside, no space is left to waste. Clean, white walls set off a colorful collection of treasures gathered from all over the world. Small-scale kitchen appliances get the job done without hogging precious inches.
Dining Area
Small, colorful rugs help divide the space to set apart sections of the cottage. Mixing colors and patterns adds interest to the white floorboards.
Living Area
Using a comfortable daybed in place of a couch creates a more flexible space for lounging or sleeping. This plush comforter lends an ultra-luxe feel.
Hanging photos without traditional frames creates an artsy effect without overtaking limited wall space in the bedroom.
Cottage 5. Hamptons Getaway
Square Feet: 930
Location: South Hampton, New York
This small Hamptons hideaway sits on a marsh grass-bordered creek and features two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Living Room
A cozy sectional makes the most of the small living room, and a bank of windows overlooking the prized views make the space feel larger.
The open and airy kitchen has a farmhouse sink, glass-fronted cabinetry, and a breakfast bar that's perfect for a small gathering.
A soft blue and cream color scheme gives the master bedroom a tranquil vibe.

Counting Birds
Each year Linda Daniel's class participates in the Great Backyard Bird Count (a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Audubon Society). [Editor's Note: The next Great Backyard Bird Count is February 17-20, 2012.] She sends home a copy of Mark Trail, a cartoon that announces the competition, and a "Might See List" of birds from the Palm Harbor Garden Club. Each student counts birds with his or her families, draws pictures and writes stories on their experiences. The collaboration of pictures and stories is mailed into the competition.
Another bird activity is Project Feeder Watch. Students hang bird feeders in the schoolyard and keep a scrapbook of all the different birds they see. Students also make posters using pictures cut from magazines and newspapers. The students enjoy the activities and can't wait to count birds.

"2015 was a year of struggle and perseverance… but it was the year that defined me as a writer."
My 2015 can practically be summed up in the sentence above, and though I could very easily leave it at that, I will go into depth, because I feel that in some ways it was one of my worst years, and yet, one of my best. A statement that is difficult to understand without explanation. Because how can it be the best and the worst? Yet, that's just part of life, isn't it? We take the good with the bad, and we come to realize that we only recognize the good things when we've experienced the darkness. It's the only way we can see the contrast for what it really is.
Because so much happened in 2015, I struggled a bit on how to write this post – and maybe that's why it's taken me so long to commit words to screen. But I finally decided to go about this in parts, because in a way, that's how 2015 shaped up in the end… all these separate parts came together to make the whole.
Though it's hard to admit – not only to myself, but to others – I won't sugarcoat this. I'll let it be known that I spent far too much time within the past couple years not writing at all. You'll hear, time and time again – from authors and artists alike – that the best way to hone your craft is to work at it every day. And I really do believe that. One of the hardest things I've discovered about writing over the years is that the longer you allow yourself to fall out of the habit, the longer it will take you to pick it back up. I've reread entire drafts of my story more than once due to allowing myself to fall out of writing too often. The best thing you can do as a writer is to do exactly that – write. It doesn't have to be anything spectacular, but just the act of writing, keeps you in the writing spirit. It's one of the reasons that I have a dedicated writing journal. Because I've found that even taking the time to complain to yourself about how much your writing sucks or how far you've fallen down the rabbit hole in terms of actually working, it's still writing and it keeps your mind in the habit.
That being said, I spent the majority of the last few years lost amidst depression and failing health. I don't know when the problems began, but I remember when they truly culminated – probably 3-4 years ago – and feeling terrible became the new normal. I had terrible brain fog all the time, making it difficult to focus on writing and keep things straight in the story. And even when that would clear, I was tired all the time. So tired that it didn't matter if I slept 3 hours or 12, I always felt like I needed a nap a few hours after I woke up. I had panic attacks for no reason. As well as breaking down and crying for no reason, other than the fact that I was frustrated, not knowing what was going on, and just wanted my life back.
In the fall of 2014, the doctors finally discovered that I have an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. Finally having a name to place the blame on was half the battle, but it would still take nearly another year of battling symptoms and fighting doctors before I felt decent.
So, 2015 continued on much like 2014 ended… appearing like there was no real hope in sight. Trying to align myself with the fact that maybe feeling like shit was just my normal, and trying this, that, and the other to reconcile myself to that fact. I tried different diets, tested out different supplements… hoping that something would take to make me feel at least a tish better. I would go in swings, feeling good maybe once or twice a month. Though, as to if that really made a difference, I don't know. It almost felt as if those few days of feeling good just made me realize all the more what I was missing out on when I returned to the usual days of feeling terrible.
Amidst all this, I tried to write here and there, but I fell into the terrible habit of telling myself that, "I don't feel great today… tomorrow… Tomorrow, I'll finally work." But that quickly became the daily mantra, and a week later, a month later, I would still be telling myself the same thing with nothing to show for it. Even when I did find the ambition to do so much as open a blank Word document, or to open some of my previous writing, I would practically sit there with my vision blurry, trying to figure out what to say, what to write. It felt more and more as if I were losing myself. My art suffered, and in a way, I believe that left me to suffer all the more – as if all that untapped artistic drive within myself was withering in the darkness and backfiring, turning into an internal poison.
One quote that has always stuck with me is:
"A non-writing writer is a monster courting insanity."
And I really do believe that.
I continued to gather more symptoms – wicked insomnia and hair loss that scared me – before I finally found a doctor that would listen to me. After months on medication that didn't help me much at all, I was finally able to go on the natural – Armour – that I had wanted since the beginning of this journey since reading that people with Hashimoto's do far better on it.
It still took a month or two to really kick in, but I began feeling better and better.
A great weight had been lifted from my life, but it took me another few weeks to realize just how much damage had been done in that time – not only to my mentality, but to my writing.
I had tried to write here and there along this zig-zaggin journey, though hardly anything of real worth had presented itself during this time. I might have editing a chapter or two – though I remember hitting that brick wall in my edit, and hitting it hard. I danced around the same three chapters for months – hating the story, hating the writing, trying to get it to behave and fit in with the rest of the story. (I actually wonder still if anyone that pays attention close enough could find it in the final book.)
But, it was during this ongoing fight that I ran into the worst days ever with my writing, and to be honest, it had nothing at all to do with the writing itself. Strangely enough.
No, what haunts me to this day, is that I was met with what is probably every author's worst nightmare: my characters themselves actually fell silent.
And, sadly enough, it actually took me a couple of weeks to realize it…
But I started writing Nyte-Fyre way back in 2006, and since then my characters have always been with me in my mind… constantly bickering, speaking with one another, letting little facts about themselves slip. Writing is probably one of those rare professions that it's actually part of the job description to have voices in your head, and to listen to them. It had become such a constant chatter that I had kept a notebook by my bed for years to write down conversation pieces that would pop up.
Nigh on ten years, I'd had that cast of characters living with me, co-habituating in my mind. I had grown used to their individual voices vying for my attention. So, it would be a bit of an understatement to say that when they fell silent, I felt lost. I had never experienced this before, and I felt so empty, drifting aimlessly into a silent void.
And it was during this time, looking at the draft of "Sparks and Shadows" and how much work was still left, and trying to find any shred of voice of my characters to cling to, that I began to horrifically wonder if maybe this wasn't the end. Maybe this was my sign that I should give up. Rather than my characters talking, my inner critic – that had always been there regardless – was given all the more room to rear her ugly head and repeat to me all my fears. That I had never been meant to write. That I wasn't an artist. A writer. That I was wasting my time. Just how many times could I tell people that this would be the year that my novel would finally be done. That it would finally be published…
Maybe it really was time to hang it up and find something else to do.
And for one of the first times in my life, I actually considered it.
That very easily could have been the end. There are probably a lot of people that would have taken that as a sign and moved on.
However, if I am anything besides creative, it's stubborn.
It was tempting to toss it all to the wayside and allow myself to be defeated, but there's something stinging in that word… defeat.
2006, I had started with a small seed of an idea and went with it, allowed myself to be drawn into the magic of writing, of creation.
Was I really going to allow 9 ½ years to go to complete and utter waste?
So many days I felt like I hadn't really gotten anywhere with the story… but look at the Nyte-Fyre folder on my computer and it'll tell you otherwise.
A 421 page first draft of the first novel. Half of what had already been rewritten for the edit. Side stories and back stories. About 25% of the second novel and half of the third, and some of the fourth, thanks to three consecutive years of participating in NaNoWriMo. Not to mention the copious amounts of notebooks filled with thoughts and notes and character conversations and whatnot floating about the room. Those years hadn't been entirely wasted, and I had a story blossoming, waiting to finish blooming to tell me that.
Was I really prepared to give all that up?
No… I wasn't. Because I knew in a way, that even if I had reconciled that I would never write another word on Nyte-Fyre again, it wouldn't go away. That unfinished business would haunt me for the rest of my life, and it would feel as if the word 'failure' was stamped on my head for everyone to see.
The thing is that I've always taken on projects that might have been challenging, or more than I needed, because I've always been stubborn enough to pull through. It might take me awhile, but I don't take failure as an option.
I bought a daily desk calendar last year of Latin quotes, and one of them that stuck with me is something that I've kept and pertained to my writing ever since, if only because it's the mentality that I have:
"Either don't try, or else carry it through."
Basically, if you don't plan on finishing it, don't even bother starting. And though it may sound harsh, to me, it's inspiring.
And that alone is one of the things that kept me going throughout 2015. It acted as an inspiration, and at the same time, almost a taunt. "Why did you even start if you didn't think you could finish this project? If you had planned on giving up?"
Because I couldn't be haunted by that. I wouldn't allow it.
So, I did what needed to be done.
I sat down and I began to work.
It was difficult, no doubt. Especially at first. Though I had half of the edit/rewrite done, I was stuck in a compromising position – I had left off at the part that had tossed me headfirst into that brick wall, essentially leaving me with a writing concussion. Not a great place to start. Not only that, but my characters were still missing in action, and I still felt so far from the end it wasn't even close to being funny. But I was tired of telling people that "This will be the year!" with nothing to show for it come January.
I did what I never wanted to do with my writing – instead of fun, it became work, it became my job. Some days that I would grudgingly drag myself to.
But, I made it work.
I printed off all that I had of the rewrite, and I read it through – realigning myself with the story and the characters. I perused my endless notes and all the entries in my writing journals. (I knew I had kept those journals for a reason, though I never thought when I began that particular venture in my writing in 2012 that they would actually at one point become detrimental to my continuation as a writer.)
And once I re-familiarized myself with the story, I began to edit again. It was a slow process, but I dutifully worked, day after day. Sometimes it would only be a paragraph at a time, other times I'd get a whole chapter done in a day. My biggest problem was that I still wasn't straight editing. I was still stuck in parts of the book that I knew needed to be rewritten and reworked. Some of the hardest things I discovered in that process was deciding what to keep, and if I was going to keep it, where to put it. There were certain lines that I knew I wanted to keep for certain, and in my drive to make sure they were back in the story, they ended up in the writing multiple times, causing more frustration.
One of the things that cut my rewriting time down a bit was that I left myself a note about where that brick wall had assaulted me and taunted me for months and moved on. I knew that I would still have to return and smooth that over, but I moved on to what I knew I could work with.
For the longest time, "Sparks and Shadows" has been broken down into sections – maybe 5 in all. So, I moved on to my final rewrite section, and though difficult at first, I was given the chance to enjoy myself again, if only briefly.
One of the things that I discovered that I hated about editing was that this story has been with me for nearly 10 years. I knew what happened in the first book. I'd spent years with it. It was no longer new and exciting to me. I didn't want to remain stuck in limbo there. I wanted to move on, to explore new writing and to feel the magic of discovery again. And though it wasn't the height of that, moving into this section that had so much rewriting left, gave me just enough of a taste of that to keep moving on.
It took me a couple weeks, but once I moved on from that section, so began the tedious work of the actual editing. I began this novel when I was 15, so needless to say, my writing style had changed a bit. So, it was my ongoing goal now to smooth over that writing so that it read cohesively, readers unaware that there were 8,9, almost 10 years writing difference between some sections. This was a slow and tedious process, but I plucked away at it daily.
There were times during this process when I began to wonder if it would ever end.
And then I ran into a day where as I was going through, the writing seemed to grow better dramatically. I suddenly wasn't having to edit nearly as much and it was making the process go a lot faster. This right here was when I felt that heavy weight finally lifted off my shoulders. And I knew that though I still had a bit to go, the end was near. The light at the end of the tunnel wasn't a train, it was actual daylight.
It wasn't long after that that I finally, after all those years, finished what I had started with the edit. I reached the end of the book again. And I returned to those chapters in the middle, and sussed those out to something workable.
I had finished what had begun to look unattainable.
However, that wasn't the end.
I may have finished the final draft, but I still wasn't done.
Had I decided on taking the traditional route of publishing, then I would have begun the waiting game. I'd have written a query letter and sent it off to agents and publishers with my fingers crossed. But I had decided a number of years ago, that although it would be difficult, I wanted to try my hand first at self-publishing. I didn't want to give up the majority of my rights for a small royalty after all the work I had put into it.
Yet, that left me with a lot of work that most authors don't have to deal with.
And one of those definitely proved to be far more hassle and frustration that I remember, and that was a demon called 'formatting.'
The thing was that I thought I had that under control. Thanks to NaNoWriMo, I had a coupon code for a handful of free printed books from a company called CreateSpace. I used that in 2014 to print off what I've been calling since my test-copies. Essentially, these were never meant for resale. I only wanted to see what the book would look like in print. In a way, it was a token of all my previous work and a physical reminder of my goal at large. My 2014 test copies were a print off of my first draft. But, though it's writing that I wouldn't necessarily send out to the world (save for my close friends who read that draft), it challenged me to pick up those editing and formatting skills.
Having done the formatting once before, I mistakenly thought that it was going to be easy the second time around.
Oh, how wrong I was.
Though a good majority of the formatting process is still a copy and paste job, what you've got to watch out for is the pesky formatting that Word likes to throw at you. Though a wonderful program most of the times, it definitely has its downfalls once in awhile. Especially when trying to format. Word has a nasty habit of taking what you tell it to do, and doing something different.
Not only that, but I made the mistake of thinking that 10 chapters a day would be a good goal… that is until you realize just how long ten chapters is. I have 81 in all. So, essentially, my 8 day project turned into a month.
As I copied and pasted, I wasn't only transferring over my chapters, I was doing a final run-through grammatical edit. I had to figure out what my chapter headings would look like – what font to use, what size, and the spacing from the top of the page and in between. I had to add page numbers, and figure out how the dreaded headers and footers worked. Something that was all the more difficult when you add in the conundrum of wanting different odd and even headers, and no header at all present on chapter title pages. That was where most of the headache came in. I would get one thing figured out, and then something stupid would take its place – like all my odd page numbers disappearing.
But again, my stubbornness came into play. I know that self-publishing sites offer these services – but I did my own formatting and my own cover art. I spent numerous hours searching forums for answers and playing around. I learned more about headers and footers, and a spectacular feature called 'page-breaks.' It was a long process, but I feel like I learned so much in the long run. And with seven or eight books total in the series, I'll be using that knowledge again.
Though long days of frustration and my vision going blurry from staring at a computer screen for so long, I crossed that bridge as well.
A bridge that had felt off limits to me for so long.
It was a long and twisting journey, but I had finally reached the end.
Now I would, after all those years, get to reap the rewards.
I remember feeling so jittery when I sent those final files off, wondering if there were things that I had missed, if maybe I should have spent more time honing the story or if people would even want to read it. I had experienced for so many years what probably every artist has heard in their lifetime… "Oh, so you write (draw, paint, etc…). That's nice. So, what do you really do?"
Of course I was nervous.
But then I got that first box of books. It was only 25 copies, but it's certainly surreal to open a large box and have multiple copies of your own book looking back at you. To have people buy it. To create the Kindle file and to be able to look it up online. To see your novel and your name on big name sites like Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com.
To be honest, it still feels like a dream. Like some fantasy world I've stepped into.
So far, I've sold probably 100 copies in person and online. I've run a giveaway through GoodReads (which I will be doing again soon), and I've received numerous comments.
Most of which consist of "Holy crap!" when they see the actual size of this novel (a whopping 694 pages), to "I couldn't put it down! When is the next one coming out?"
It's been a long time coming, but all of this is just fuel for me to continue what, deep in my heart and soul, I knew I was meant to do all along. I may have lost my way a few times, but maybe in the end, it's the struggle that brings out our true colors and shows us what we were really meant for.
I still remember starting the novel way back in 2006, and I remember that day in 2011 (December 29th) when I wrote the final word of the first draft – long before I even knew that "Sparks and Shadows" would be the final chapter. I was high on that ultimate thrill and magic of writing, of having completed such a long project, and knowing that I had faithfully stuck with it for all those years. Most of those years I had only written 5 chapters a year.
I could have given up anytime during those early years. Those statistics alone should have left me with a dark cloud over my head, taunting me and telling me it couldn't be done. Yet, I was never deterred. I soldiered on. And honestly, I don't think quitting ever once crossed my mind those first few years.
There are times when I wish I could return to that carefree writer that was filled with that blazing spark.
Now, it's not to say that I don't enjoy writing anymore – if that were the case, I wouldn't continue to do it. But, I've walked the other side of that line now. That realization that writing isn't always easy. That, as much as you can love it, you can also find yourself loathing it as well… the long days of not writing a word, of spending more time hitting the backspace key as opposed to committing words to paper, and wondering if there isn't something better you can be doing with your time.
It's hard to come back from that.
Though, not impossible.
And, maybe I'm one of those people that needed that harsh slap in the face.
I've felt the magic of writing, and I've also danced amongst the flames of writing hell.
But, I think what makes you a true writer is when you keep going despite those difficulties, and instead of living on one side or the other, you find a way to balance those two hemispheres and to walk that thin line in between.
Because, really, what is the light without the darkness? It's all about contrast.
~ Kendrick von Schiller
P.S: And if anything good at all has come out of this (besides finding the drive and the courage to publish my first novel), it's that my characters voices have returned to me in full force. It was as if they had picked up on waning ambition and had collectively decided to test me by gathering in a corner and remaining silent. Yet, as I got back into writing, they slowly returned to me, as if they could tell by my returning to the writing that I wasn't going to give up. I wonder if they hadn't planned that all along. The thing is, they haven't shut up since… and to be honest… I wouldn't have it any other way.

Termite Control, Treatment and Inspection Services
A Termite Control Inspection can Save you Thousands in Property Damage
Termites do more annual damage to structures than fire, flood, and windstorm combined. Protect your home with a termite inspection. Our structural pest professionals look for evidence of any wood-destroying insects or wood-destroying organisms on the interior and exterior of your property. We look for conducive conditions that can promote termite activity and are able to provide immediate treatment or preventative measures.
After the termite inspection, you will receive a complete report that outlines the findings of your inspection and a professional diagnosis on the right termite treatment for your property.
Termite Control Treatment
Remember, the best opportunity for preventing termites and other wood destroying organisms is to treat materials during construction. This can minimize the need for ongoing chemical products and provide another layer of protection for your property and health.
If termites are found during the initial inspection, treatment can begin immediately using the most effective and environmentally friendly methods. ENSEC professionals always keep the safety of your family and the environment in mind for any level of termite treatment.
Termite Warranties
ENSEC offers warranties for retreatment of infestations if termites cause structural damage after corrective or preventative steps were taken. Additionally, if upon inspection your property is free of termites we offer various repair warranties. In fact, we are so confident in our staff and the products that we use, that our standard repair warranty level is $250,000.
If you would like to receive a free consultation and estimate for an initial termite job click here.

Not even "bittersweet" could describe the anguish Georgia Love faced 48 hours after she could go public with the love of her life, Lee Elliott.
Confessing she'd fallen "so madly" for her man, the TV presenter was given the heart-wrenching news that her mum, Belinda, had lost her battle to pancreatic cancer.
The new couple have now made their first TV appearance since The Bachelorette finale.
Talking to Carrie Bickmore and the Project panel, Georgia explained what it was like to go through such extreme events in a matter of hours.
"In the space of 24 hours we went from one of the happiest moments, where we could finally actually be in the same room together and tell everybody how we feel and be able to relax. And literally 24 hours later I got the worst phone call of my life," she said.
"I mean, talk about highs and lows."
Check out Georgia's chat in the video player below... Article continues!
Coming off the reality show, the 28-year-old was faced with the question whether she regrets filming the show during her mum's final months.
"It's been incredibly difficult, but it would have been made so much more difficult if Lee hadn't have been there. So there are silver linings," she admitted.
"You know, you can look back at any point of your life and go, well, I was away for two months travelling there or a year working there, but if I had not have gone on The Bachelorette I wouldn't have had Lee but I would have still been in Tassie, I would have been further away from my mum."
Before adding, "So you know, I don't regret anything that happened... And my mum absolutely supported me 100 per cent in doing this, and in everything I did."
And it's clear that Lee has been Georgia's rock during this entire ordeal, in fact the tradie even threatened to break his confidentiality agreement with Channel 10 so that he could be with Georgia as her mum's condition worsened.
This support has carried through with the 35-year-old campaigning for Pancare, a foundation raising much needed awareness and funds for pancreatic cancer.
Georgia Love's beau has organised a lunch with nearly every single Bachelorette boy from this season.
Sadly our main man Matty J can't attend, but he has shared his support on social media!
The twelve highest bidders in the Pancare auction will share two hours at Morris Jones Restaurant & Cocktail Bar in Melbourne with the bachelors... and who knows, you may find your Prince Charming?
So how do you get a seat at this year's hottest luncheon? Head to www.pancare.org.au/attend-event/chance-dine-bachelorette-boys/

Although the design of this case isn't my style, I've got to admit it looks nice and my wife loves it. The pictures are subtle and well designed, and the colours are great. The overall quality is exceptionally high end and functionality wise you can't go wrong. The case is also nice and compact, without being too thick or adding too much weight.
The case itself will lock and unlock your iPad when closing and opening it which comes in very handy. It's also a perfect fit for my iPad Air 2, clipping nicely into place and holding the device tightly in place.
One thing that I like most about this case is the ability to rotate the iPad so you can either stand it up landscape or portrait. After using the apple magnetic case this is definitely welcome, especially when typing documents.

Happy Wednesday!! Here it is, the middle of the week, my mom and sister arrive tomorrow, I have a million things to do, and wonder if I will be able to get them all done, lol! But, I wanted to make a quick post and share with you all the cute little 3x3 make 'n takes I had for my Open House - I had four samples and they were able to do any two they liked. I used all new sets and papers to showcase our new products and they really seemed to like them! The first one uses the stamp set called Timeless Treasures and it has quickly become a favorite of mine. I juust love all the images in this set and it can be used for sooo many different occasions! The DSP is from the Brights Designer Pattern Pack - in fact, all the DSP I used is because these packs are so versatile, you can use them on any card. Another great product idea from Stampin' Up! these packs of paper are available in all of our color families!
This second card uses the Just Believe stamp set which I love, love, love and was lucky enough to get for FREE from Convention - how cool is that?!! The colors I used on this one are Regal Rose, Wild Wasabi, and Daffodil Delight - YUM! And, I did add some of the Daffodil Delight skinny ribbon (yes, I know that's not really what it is called, but that's what I call it, lol!) Such pretty ribbon and easy to make bows with too which was HUGE for this bow challenged gal :-) Although I did not use a bow on this card since I DID use one on another one I will share in a minute. I also showcased several of our punches as well, and, although the punching was all done except for the main image and the sentiment, they were all on the table so people could see them. I know I love to play with punches, and from what I could tell, they were a pretty big hit with all the folks that came to the Open House as well! Especially the border punches, they just loved those! I did demo our new border punch called Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch, but I did not use it on the make 'n takes.
This third card uses a fun favorite of mine called Punched Posies which is actually a Hostess Set from the Summer mini, which is good until the end of August (hurry and get your orders in!) Every single stamp has a coordinating punch to go with it, making it really quick to make a bunch of flowers for your cards, layouts, etc. I did demo this set as well to show how nice and easy it is to get lots of flowers! I did not use any patterned paper on this one but the flower stands well on its own! And shhhh......I know my sentiment is crooked, LOL! My poor little bow had been manhandled quite a bit by the time I got to take pics of this card, so it is looking a little tired but actually it looks really cute when the bow is nice and perky! I actually tied (yes I did!) all these bows ahead of time so all they had to do was add them to the card. Did I tell you that I was crazy? Well, if you did not know before, you do now - heehee!
This last card was one of my favorites because it had a butterfly on it and I love butterflies! It is from the new stamp set called Butterfly Prints and has three different patterned butterflies to stamp with AND they can all be punched out using our Butterfly punch - awesome!!! I used the new In-Color Concord Crush and paired it with Daffodil Delight and Regal Rose, then added a small strip of the brights patterned paper. I love the sentiment in this set, sooo pretty! This card was popular - I had no kits left at the end of the day, lol! So, those were the make 'n takes I had available, and for the most part, everything went very smoothly with no card mishaps, heeehee! I had it all set up in stations and people were laughing, having fun, meeting new people, and enjoying stamping. And, that's what it's all about, right? I hope you enjoyed me sharing these little 3x3s, I sure liked showing them to you! Thanks so much for stopping by, it means a lot to me and I love reading your comments! Have a wonderful day - I am off to clean, do laundry, plant, and various other things that need to get done before midnight tonight, lol!! Bye now!

So I've featured these beauties many times before, but I just squealed with delight when I spotted some of the new designs for 2012. Nikki McWilliams has been on the crafter radar for quite sometime, I first spotted her creations on Folksy. Nikki is a Dundee based designer and maker who has exhibited across the UK and frequently featured in the press.

The legendary Party Ring in squishy, delicious cushion form.
The heart warming Jammy Dodger recreated as an adorable cushion.

Beauty Works offers two distinct ways of getting a natural-looking tan, without the harmful effects of UV from the sun
Naturasun Spray Tanning
All our tans in this range will last approximately 5 – 7 days. Clients will need to exfoliate and remove unwanted body hair the night before their spray. It is recommended that clients leave their Naturasun Spray Tan on for at least 9 hours, or overnight, before bathing; this gives the tan a chance to develop fully. It is advised that wearing any clothing or doing an activity which will cause perspiration while the tan is developing, is avoided as they can cause the tan to fade before it is fully developed. Anti-perspirants and moisturisers will have the same effect. Clients should moisturize daily to help the longevity of their tan
St.Tropez Body Bronzing
A St. Tropez tan can last approximately 7 – 10 days, depending on how well clients look after their tan at home. This is a self-tan brand that delivers great results every time. It is totally natural-looking and works on the uppermost layers of the skin. It contains a unique combination of ingredients that work together to give a gorgeous natural-looking colour that will fade naturally too. Clients should leave the tan on for approximately 8 hours before showering
Take a step closer to your year-round tan and make an appointment in Horsham at Beauty Works today!
Warm wax creates a sticky coating on the hairs and helps them adhere to the fabric or paper strip. Wax is then applied to the hairs and removed against the direction of hair growth. Large areas can be covered and removed relatively quickly. Hair needs to be at least 1 cm in length for effective removal

On afternoons as beautiful as this, there is nothing like being able to work quietly outside, sat under my parasol.
This pretty Summer pink teddy girl is a commission order and she's waiting patiently while I knit her a little something to wear. So here I am, enjoying the sunshine from the comfort of my garden chair and listening to Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' album while Polly and Betty doze on the lawn.
It's a tough life!

The Flipped Classroom model has been around for a while. As a matter of fact, teachers may have been doing it before the term was even coined. However, flipped experiences might flop without teachers being deliberate in the planning and implementation process.
In Fall 2014, David Christianson of Adams Center, Professor Laura Phillips and Professor Mark Phillips from the College of Business Administration, have been working with a group of our professors through a "flipped classroom" workshop, as well as ongoing mentoring, classroom observation, and feedback that came after the workshop.
In a recent progress review, Professor Karen Cukrowski and Professor Vic McCracken shared their experiences using the model. Here are a few takeaways from this session.
"Just do it." Students do not have to know you are trying a "flipped classroom" model. When they find that you are trying some new "gimmicks" in teaching, they may groan or even resist. However, a well-implemented flipped classroom experience, engaging and instructive, will be well received.
Make it or Mix it. Online videos are often used for the flipped model. Students watch videos before coming to class for hands-on activities or discussions. It is a good option to use podcasting or screencasting tools to produce videos on your own. However, professors may also use or mix videos that already exist. When using existing videos, professors add value by screening, selecting and elaborating on the most effective videos. Most importantly, professors can project a strong professor's voice throughout the teaching process even if videos are not produced locally.
Design with the future in mind. When producing learning materials, be mindful of future uses of such materials. If intended for reuse, videos produced had better not include references to particular time, space or individuals that may make it difficult to use in the future.
Make learning active. In the classroom, students should be actively involved in the learning process. Lecture out of necessity, but think of additional ways to make learning stick. Practice active learning mentally and even physically if need be. For instance, when discussing literal or metaphorical interpretation of the creation, Professor Cukrowski literally asked students to take a stand by moving to various areas in the classroom. She said students loved it.
Use groups. Small groups can help a great deal in classroom activities. One special value it provides is that quiet students, when joining a small group, find it easier to talk. However, do not expect groups to just work. It is dangerous to assign students to groups without proper structure, guidance, or feedback. This could create the situation of "the blind leading the blind," which both professors warned about. Good strategies for avoiding blind leading the blind include initial structuring or walking through, as well as "group reflection" for students to calibrate their position in the learning process. Providing rich learning resources is also a great way for students to learn when they are assigned to groups during the flipped classroom experience.
Last but certainly not the least, value what students bring to the experience. With the use of group learning, learning communities among students can form in such flipped classroom experiences. Help shape such communities. There are times students bring great input to the process. Make sure such highlights are captured. Structure for it, for instance, by asking students to present their discoveries after groups have an opportunity to work on problems.

Yep, we were in bed before midnight, but had some bright spark letting off fireworks near us. They sounded like they were in the front yard, but were probably a street away. Hearing the "bangers" go off always reminds me of when we were little and my Dad would buy crackers and let them off. I can still see the spinning sparklers nailed to the light pole..those were the days before prohibition.

Yes, we used to buy penny bungers etc from the milk bar around the corner. All strictly monitored, of course. Only the odd accident happened given the number of people who used them.

Rihanna probably couldn't stop winning even if she tried. After making history by becoming the third artist with the most number one hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart (eleven as the lead artist and three as a featured artist), the bad gal is breaking records again.
With her DJ Khaled assisted song, "Wild Thoughts," landing at number four on the charts, Rih Rih ends 12 weeks of no female artist in the top five, which we haven't seen since 1972. Taylor Swift was the last woman to creep in the top five with "I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)," with Zayn, placing at No. 3 (after peaking at No. 2) back on April 8.
That's Black girl magic. Congrats, Rihanna!

Recruiting: 2015 PG Jarvis Johnson
Marquette University's Buzz Williams was one of many coaches watching Howard Pulley beat the Travelers 90-78 in Peach Jam play this morning.
Playing alongside 2014 phenom Tyus Jones, rising junior guard Jarvis Johnson (DeLaSalle HS, Minneapolis, Minn.) took on a scoring role with 22 points on 7/11 shooting and didn't turn the ball over in 28 minutes played. Johnson knocked down 4 of his 5 3-point attempts, bringing his effective field goal percent for the game to 81.8%.
Marquette has made visits to DeLaSalle where they have gotten to see both Jarvis and his high school & Pulley teammate 2014 F Reid Travis. Other schools involved include hometown Minnesota, Iowa State (where his sister will play basketball as a freshman this fall) and new Big East member Creighton. There are several others involved and we'd expect more to join the conversation over the next year.
Johnson (and Travis) played with Minnesota Pump N Run (now known as D1 Minnesota) until this year when they moved over to Howard Pulley and the EYBL. Although Pulley has Tyus Jones as its premier guard, Johnson has gotten a lot of playing time starting with Jones in the backcourt. (EYBL regular season stats: 23.1 mpg, 7.6 ppg, 2.3 apg, 51.6% eFG)
Jarvis is lead guard who can also play off the ball. He's a very good passer and capable scorer, but his athleticism is what sets him apart from others. He can put on the after-burners and changes gears very well. About 6'1″ in height, but his leaping ability is astonishing.
In college we see him as a point guard with the best fit being a hardworking, high-IQ program that will run and take advantage of transition opportunities.
This past high school season Jarvis ran the point for repeat-champion DeLaSalle, a Catholic school with strong academic and basketball traditions. Over the next year and especially next spring/summer, we'll be interested in seeing how well Johnson is able to take on bigger scoring and leadership roles for his teams.
A quick look at some current 2015 recruiting rankings shows Johnson at #55, #64 and #75 at ESPN, Scouts and Rivals, respectively. We believe he's capable of a nice climb over the next year.

192.com launches first online/offline business directory
December 11, 2006
Merging traditional business directories with the entire UK web
192.com, the UK's most powerful people, business and place finder, has launched a unique new business dataset that has been sourced from the entire UK Internet. Through the use of innovative spider technology, 192.com has extracted important information from UK business websites and is now delivering it freely in its new 'Web Data' format.
192.com has further expanded the breadth and depth of relevant information that can be returned with a single local search. The Web Data has brought in important extra content on existing listings such as opening hours, mobile numbers, and web and email addresses. It has also added in hundreds of thousands more businesses that were not previously listed across any of its three other directories.
"Search engines like Google have become too vast and are manipulated by big business, loosing sight of their original purpose. We're providing the UK public with a unique alternative by structuring web search results in a consistent, user-friendly format by actual location. The result is a truly local search engine," commented Keith Marsden, managing director, 192.com.
He explained how Web Data works: "Our spider searches every web page in the UK every three weeks, looking for specific data on each page such as opening times, email addresses and who the owner of the business is. This data becomes useful when it's linked to the existing, offline records about the company behind the website. We're effectively cataloging the Internet around UK businesses, so that users will find the right business or service every time."
192.com does not organise the data by the size of website, like search engines do, but rather by relevance, so that the business you are looking for, and important factual information about it, is displayed before listings sites. "Our aim was to organise online and offline together in a way that would be most useful for locating businesses - and initial feedback from users is that we've succeeded. And with development already underway to incorporate formal review sites and comments from the blogosphere we plan to go a lot further ," concluded Marsden.
About 192.com
192.com is the de facto standard search engine for finding people, business and places in the UK. Established in 1997 by Alastair Crawford, founder of UK-Info Disk and Passado.com, the multi-award winning 192.com has over five million registered users accessing unequalled breath and depth of data.
192.com searches over 630 million records including free directory enquiries, local business listings, interactive mapping, aerial photography and property reports. Premium records include current and historical electoral rolls; the birth, deaths and marriages register; 1861 census data; and company and director reports.
192.com Business Services, the corporate arm of 192.com, delivers online identity verification and tracing solutions to over one million desktops across retail, gaming, finance and the public sector.

Land Use Planning & Regulations
Our planning services and regulation complement other CRCA resource management activities by:
- directing development to areas that are not hazardous
- maintaining natural features and ecological functions
- protecting water quality and quantity.
Much of the information collected through mapping, resource inventories, and surveys and studies is used by the CRCA planning and regulations staff. In reviewing development proposals, our staff are also guided by provincial government policies as well as the CRCA Planning Policy adopted by the CRCA Board in 2015.
Our staff provide written comments to municipalities on applications made under the Planning Act. These applications include:
- official plans and zoning by-law amendments
- plans of subdivision and condominium
- site plan control applications
- severances
- minor variances.
Each year, we review approximately 300 of these planning applications. Most applications require a property inspection to assess the many natural features we need to consider.
We also review and provide comments on municipal official plans and zoning by-laws, as well as other policies and by-laws that can affect the natural environment.
Our reviews identify potential natural hazards and natural resources such as floodplains, wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat, and shorelines. We strive to protect you from personal danger and property damage posed by natural hazards such as flooding and erosion, as well as conserving the area's natural resources.
The CRCA requires a fee for this service in order to recover our costs. Be aware that a delay in paying this fee can delay finalizing your application.
Before formally submitting your application to your municipality, we recommend that you consult with a CRCA planner in order to make the process as smooth as possible.
The CRCA has in effect Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses Regulations (Ontario Regulation 148/06) made under the Conservation Authorities Act. This regulation prevents or restricts development and site alterations near water and wetlands to protect you and the public from flooding, erosion and other hazards.
You may require a permit from the CRCA if your project is:
- in the channel of a watercourse or drain, in a lake, pond or a wetland
- within 15 m of a floodplain
- within 50 m of the top of bank of a river, stream, lake or other watercourse
- within 120 m of a provincially significant wetland
- within 30 m of all other wetlands greater than 0.5 ha.
Activities requiring approval within regulated areas include:
- construction, reconstruction or placing a building or structure of any kind
- any change to a building or structure that changes its use, increases its size or increases the number of dwelling units
- grading of the site
- temporary or permanent placing, dumping or removal of material originating on site or elsewhere
- alteration to watercourses (including municipal drains); bridges, culverts and other infrastructure; and channel and shoreline alterations
- all works in the water, e.g. docks, boathouses, dredging, etc.
Filling, construction or alteration of floodplains, wetlands, shorelines and waterbodies can result in increased upstream or downstream flooding, reduced water quality, destruction of fish and wildlife habitat or other environmental problems. When considering whether to grant a permit under these regulations, the CRCA considers not only the individual application, but also the long-term impacts within the watershed.
Get detailed information about why we consider wetlands, floodplains, waterbodies, erosion, steep slopes and fish habitat to be important »
