  • I voted by submitting my ballot to one of these lovely ballot boxes. I used ballot tracking and got a notification that it had been received the next day.

    Californians, if you have not yet voted there’s still time to put your ballot in a drop box, return it to a vote center, or vote in person. Don’t wait! Do it now! #ivoted #election2020

  • I’ve been ROYGBIV organizing my shirts for years, but I couldn’t get behind doing it to books because then my series wouldn’t be together.

    I started to consider doing just the kids books, but I had the same problem. And what about reading level?

    Then I considered just doing one shelf of ROYGBIV kids’ books, and any book that has a series will not be on that shelf. So I tried it, and I’m happier already. The kids were also excited to read the “book rainbow”.

    I also learned something else that I hadn’t noticed before. The beginning readers are color coded anyway! So arranging them by colors automatically organized them by level.

  • He is Risen! Guinevere colored this from my sister’s design, and I think it’s my favorite. She told me that the green bits are palm branches. He is Risen! Jesus is alive! He is able to save completely those who come to God through him. Because he always lives to intercede for them.

  • I loved the Ballot Drop Boxes. Every time I drove by one, I thought how cute they were. I like how the box is wearing an “I Voted” sticker. I was excited to use the drop box today. Nice job, California, making voting easier and more flexible. #ivoted #ocvote
