THREE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME:
1. I helped run a printshop in high school. I did everything...layout, desktop publishing, darkroom, stripping, platemaking, presswork, and bindery operations. I represented the state of Mississippi as a first year student in competition in 1994 and won a silver medal. By the time I left the shop, I had helped in processing approximately 40,000 booklets.
P.S. - Stripping is a technique that involves preparing negative images to be burned onto aluminum plates. I was very good at it and to this day I get picked on for "winning a silver medal in stripping"...HAAAAAAAA! :)
2. I inherited a visual impairment. I am legally blind without lenses and only see 20/60 to 20/80 with lenses.
3. I have studied baby names since I was a child, including cultural origin and meanings, and used to run a large baby name website that contained thousands of names...all without knowing HTML. I'm a little rusty now but back in the day I could often tell you all about a name from memory.
Leave me a comment and and I'll come visit your blog!

Do you happen to know the meaning of Dodge? My two kids are Dodge and Zaxten. I can't find the meaning of either.
Happy Hopping!
I love baby names. Maybe I visited your web site. I can relate to bad eyesight. I like your Blog title and header.
I love baby names since we first studied them in fifth grade they are so cool and mysterious

I love names & naming, tho we've not had that opportunity with a living child.
My eyesight is severely bad without correction. However, it is passable with contacts. How wonderful that you are able to paint in spite of that.
I find that uncorrected, i notice color more, where as corrected i notice detail (leaves on trees, etc.)
Blessings to you! :)
