Not sure. She's from a shelter! >^_^

The lighted fox you gave to your niece could catch on fire. It's something to think about. Xoxo (I saw your post scrolling on the DIY tag.)

With LED lights there's no risk since they don't heat up.

I just read your "How to Put Your Own Design on a Vinyl Record Label" post and I really love your design!! I'm doing something similar with our guest book at our wedding. We are going to have people sign the record. I was hoping it would be okay with you if I copied your design. Could you send me any other pictures you have of your label? What is the font of "Stewart"? What color did you use? I know it's been awhile since you posted it but any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Sure. I'm happy to help! Are you familiar with Illustrator? I can just email you my original file if you are. Let me know!

Not every branch of science can foretell the future — paleontology can’t — but many can and with stunning accuracy. If you want to know when the next eclipse of the Sun will be, you might try magicians or mystics, but you’ll do much better with scientists. They will tell you where on Earth to stand, when you have to be there, and whether it will be a partial eclipse, a total eclipse, or an annular eclipse. They can routinely predict a solar eclipse, to the minute, a millennium in advance. You can go to the witch doctor to lift the spell that causes your pernicious anaemia, or you can take vitamin Bl2. If you want to save your child from polio, you can pray or you can inoculate. If you’re interested in the sex of your unborn child, you can consult plumb-bob danglers all you want (left-right, a boy; forward-back, a girl – or maybe it’s the other way around), but they’ll be right, on average, only one time in two. If you want real accuracy (here, 99 per cent accuracy), try amniocentesis and sonograms. Try science. Think of how many religions attempt to validate themselves with prophecy. Think of how many people rely on these prophecies, however vague, however unfulfilled, to support or prop up their beliefs. Yet has there ever been a religion with the prophetic accuracy and reliability of science? There isn’t a religion on the planet that doesn’t long for a comparable ability — precise, and repeatedly demonstrated before committed skeptics — to foretell future events. No other human institution comes close.

396 photos merged into one image using the lighten blending mode in photoshop. I think this one pretty much covers the colour spectrum of sunsets, lacking only the darker reds. I can’t get enough of this technique!
