Karen says, “After sketching a design idea, I head out to my garage-studio, where my power tools reside. I cut and sand the piece (or pieces) I will need from aspen wood. Then it is back to my indoor studio to work on the next steps of the process of drawing the design, wood burning to etch the image, use acrylic paints to color the designs, and finish it off with an acrylic sealer. The whole process, from start to finish, is done by one person--me!”	Karen Anderson, artist, original art crafted in Wisconsin, USA! wall plaques - painted images on wood - all designs are etched into aspen using a wood-burner.

	All-natural Alpineglow Soy Candles by Evergreen Candleworks Evergreen Candleworks is a totally “green” family-owned business powered by the wind, nestled in the Rocky Mountain foothills in Evergreen Colorado. Yep, another fine product made right here in the greater US of A. They strive to produce products that are healthier for people, and the environment.

Their candles are the finest quality and long lasting. When finished with the candle, simply wash the jar and recycle it for a variety of uses. The beauty of soy is, if you spill the candle, it cleans up with soap and water!

	We did our research and found a candle company that uses soy because of negative information about paraffin-based or soy-blend candles. Long Creek Candle Company uses 100% soy. Why would a person want to burn a soy-based candle from Long Creek, you ask? Here are just a few reasons: They last up to 30% longer. They are clean burning, and never emit harmful soot or fumes. They use natural soy coated cotton wicks. Have a maximum fragrance load that the soy can hold. If a candle is spilled, it is easily cleaned up with soap and water. Candles are made from renewable resources grown by American farmers. The glass jars, wicks, and even the labels are made in the USA! The folks at Long Creek recommend you burn the candle for at least 4 hours at a time for even burning. Hollow glass lids on the glass jar are filled with soybeans from which the wax is made; you can even plant them, and watch then grow!
Long Creek Candle Company 12-ounce jars, $12.99 (above); scents will change with the season.	Current assortment in-stock: pumpkin spice, autumn harvest, sugar plum, lavender / vanilla, fig and melon, pina colada, citrus pomegranate, and leather!

The Story... The Mad Bluebird is a famous picture of a bluebird taken by professional photographer Michael L. Smith in 1979 . Smith, an electrician by trade, is an avid birdwatcher who had spent many years worth of summer nights camping in outdoor conditions suitable for photographing birds. One day he set up a camera on a tripod in his backyard, about fifteen feet away from his fence, and waited inside with a remote-controlled trigger. He waited until he saw the bird facing the camera and then shot the famous picture. To date he has sold at least 128,000 signed copies of his photograph, and the picture has been reproduced on untold thousands more various pieces of merchandise, including throws, coffee mugs, and t-shirts. Smith has said he does not consider the picture to be one of his best. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (link leads you out of J.J. Cardinal site).

Kitras Art Glass Modern Designs for the Home, Garden and Lifestyle creatively created in Canada since 1994 All that is required to make glass is sand, soda ash, pot ash, lime and high heat. History sets the beginning of glass production nearly four thousand years ago in Mesopotamia. The Process of making glass was discovered while potters fused sand and minerals while firing their clay. One clever Mesopotamian managed to form a glass tube and blow a bubble at the end creating the first blowpipe and hence the art of glassblowing. Kitras Art Glass follows in this centuries old tradition, and is continuing the tradition of glassblowing.
