So much for my swank American job.
Help me raise $3000 to support pancreatic cancer research! This damn disease is my family's kryptonite, but our collective superpowers can help thwart its evil blight.

Nothing is too precious to try at least once.
I love talking people into indulging their creativity and I sometimes help authors and crafters promote their work online and have fun while they do it. I write here about creative business, crafts, books, pop culture and generally about ideas that force their way out of my brain. Wanna talk about stuff? Don't hold back.

Very good for yarn shopping from the US. Not so good to earn the money needed for the shopping…
yeah going home to france to visit the ‘rents is going to suck.
It’s like a crazy adventure, this currency thing. It makes my head spin. Just as I’m becoming quite passionate about shopping locally and connecting more to my community, I’m about to travel zig-zag style across the US for two months, I make my salary in a foreign currency, and I have family spread across the continent.
This news reached me as I sit here in China. MY office called…my Canadian sales rep is whooping it up!!!
Hmph — the US dollar continues to suck.
I KNEW I should have visted Canada over the summer!!!

Cheers from China!
