Most of the blogsites I have saved in my favorites have come from Mav
One of the refreshing things about reading her blog,is her general attitude towards life and others out there in the blog world.Not only does she engage people.She brings them all together,not only on the web but with giving us the best looking tools to do it on a more personal level..actual writing. I make a point to sit down each month and write letters, cards or postcards to people.I so enjoy opening the post and seeing an envelope with my name on it. Mav has just made that easier for me.

in my head while lounging.

What is your favorite building?

i am not sure i have one. i like boathouses right on the water.....

Name three things you would like to do before you die?

take at least one full month off to do nothing but meander, chat to people, never look at the clock and make art.
