Home ownership is on the doChamp horizon! Today we walked through an inspection of a sweet deal of a house in the Villa Park neighborhood of Denver. The top rule of real estate shopping is location (location, location), but this home delivers a twist on that mantra. It may not be in a “desirable” part […]

Note to Self
Sunday, January 2, 2011
I’m certain this project stemmed from a middle school class assignment but, being a consummate overachiever, I’ve continued the lesson three times over. At milestones (entering high school, graduating college, aging past 30), I’ve written a letter to my future self to be opened 10 years from the writing date. To prevent misplacing it, I […]
Deck the Halls!

Ornament making party! We rallied a posse (and apparently some undercover elves) for a holiday invitation to huff holly and hook ornaments on our first “adult home” Christmas tree. It’s a Noble Fir adorned with ebay snagged vintage handmade ornaments and our dear friends’ spiked egg nog induced creations.
One Man Alley Cat

For his 30th birthday, as a surprise, I assembled a unique adventure for my cycling obsessed beau. I christened it Lessons in Portable Music – based on the big gift (a new iPod) and the elbow-in-side “responsibility” it held. You see, his last iPod suffered two catastrophes involving the revolving spokes of his bicycle and […]
No, We’re Never Gonna Survive Unless…

Below is a short montage of fellow Lockerpartner Emily’s DIY backyard betrothal to DKBC legend and avid tennis player Jeffrey Swank. Video and stills were captured on the Harinezumi – a Japanese toy digital video camera that attempts to emulate super 8mm and fits in the palm of your hand – which I’m not quite convinced […]
Over My Dead Body
Sunday, October 31, 2010
Concept Halloween costumes prevent my zombie brain from completely rotting and are a small victory over all the ladies who misguidedly wish to turn the spooky holiday sexy. This year I was the laconic phrase “Over my dead body!” Â I did my worst to make the plastic skeleton I purchased look like a decomposing twin […]

Street sweeping used to get me, almost every month. I’d head to my car – probably off to help orphaned children with their math homework or something – and I’d find the little fella tucked in his bright yellow blanket wedged in the door jamb, a little flag proclaiming my forgetfulness. “A ticket! Why me?!,” […]

Where is this?
Sunday, September 12, 2010
On my return from West Virginia’s wild wedding wonderland, I received a probing postcard in the mail from a fellow mail art loving lass – “Where is this?” it read. Â It was a photo of historical Denver – a water tank in LoDo. Â I had a hunch of where to find it and was mentally […]
