Wooden Artwork Storage Frames

​
With the school year about mid-way done, children have probably brought home several of their many art projects. 
A good way to display and store these many treasures is with a
 storage frame.
Children often make unique art projects for holidays and other special events.
The great thing about these storage frames is that your child’s art can be on display all year long with the flexibility of changing at a whim with the other art project being stored in the frame.

These frames are specially sized to hold the standard sizes of artwork created at school or home.  Each polystyrene-covered wooden frame also includes a 3/4" deep compartment behind the picture to store approx. 50 more pictures.
Frame Measures 14.5" x 11.5" x 1 3/4" and  fits 9" x 12" Artwork.

Inspire your child by giving their artwork that special attention it deserves with these
Easy Change Artwork Frames.

Being a Character

Grumpy Character
​Being a Character

Being a character does not mean that you are not being yourself on the contrary I believe that you are who you need to be at that moment to deal and cope with what is going on in your life. 

​Taken on a character is different than building your character traits. 
Your character traits are who you are, who you wish to be, while being a character or taken on a character is more often than not a temporary stay.
Characters can be defined as: The combination of qualities or traits that distinguishes an individual's personality be it grumpy, eccentric or humorous just to name a few.

Where I work, being a character is almost a prerequisite.  Managing a mobile home park you do see and get to know all types of characters.  Some are more lovable than others but all come with their own life stories.

One particular individual comes to mind.  This person had been around a long time.  He had seen war and with age had also seen a lot of his family and friends come and go.

For years he wore the grumpy character, never smiled, never laughed and often complained for what seemed to be no apparent reason.

Through the years I learned to see past his grumpiness.  I also learned that at times he could be humorous and that there was an unassuming  generous quality about him.

We came to respect each other and I came to understand that his grumpy character was not really who he was but only a character he chose to use to protect himself for what life had dealt him in the pass.
We all have characters to deal with.
What are your hidden characters or character traits?

​Excerpt from my newest book "Managing a Mobile Home Park and Living Amongst Its Characters"
​

​Introducing Character in A Jar for Children​

Build and reinforce positive character traits at home, in the classroom, after-school programs, youth groups, or wherever you interact with kids and teens.
Have children pick a character for the day, 

“Patience,” “Compassion,” “Tolerance,” "Giving" and many more.
This can actually be a good gift for adults as well.

Writing Just To Write

Writing Just To Write

Thoughts on a piece of paper, writing with no rhyme or reason simply to get in the groove of writing is good practice.
Feeling the keys under my fingers while watching the letters become words, words become sentences, sentences soon to hopefully be paragraphs in the chapters of a new book.    
Writing Hat is part of this Wearer of Many Hats, some of these Hats are adventurous, some serious, some colorful, and some even funny.
​The Hats express their own feelings through the writer as words are typed, stories are told and experiences are lived and shared.
 
My latest Hat is as the manager of a mobile home park.  This Hat in itself can take on several different shapes, styles and colors depending on the moment, the event, the day and even the mood of the wearer.
 
Soon these typed thoughts, events and daily adventures became a second book in this writer’s life.
Well the soon really took a year span but none the less “Managing a Mobile Home Park and Living Amongst Its Characters” was finally published on August 30th.
 
A person can play many characters in a life span, thus the wearing of so many Hats.  Writing about these Hats, what you know and what you’ve learned so far, is a great way to share with others and leave a legacy.
" Writing is self discovery that others can enjoy" ~ Unknown
