Baptism Cakes
Thought the baking category needed a new entry...
I made these to celebrate Mark’s baptism on Easter Sunday, which was pretty ace.
Opportunity
Going out of your way to provide opportunity
This Video had me laughing, then the brokenness of it completely winded me. The follow up is inspiring…
Perfect time of the year for stories like this…

Throwing this video from the Columbus Dispatch out there, hoping we can find this talent a place to call home.
UPDATE-1: Many thanks go out to all of you who have been tossing phone numbers and e-mails my way for Ted’s sake. I went up to Hudson/I-71 (Columbus) today, but Ted wasn’t there. He is going to be on air tomorrow morning on radio station WNCI. I’ve left my contact info w/WNCI to call/e-mail me on a way to get your enormous opportunities over to him.
I’m going to give him a Trac phone (w/ample minutes) so that he can return calls to all of you.
Hopefully, in some way I’ll get in contact w/him. Peace.
UPDATE-2: To all those who have been writing me (as one of Ted’s only means of contact), I have learned that the radio station interviewing him tomorrow (1-5-11) a.m. is going to make him a formal offer. Whether true or not, we’ll see.
Hope it works out well for him. That was the whole point of me posting this video. I cannot thank enough everyone who was willing to do their part in offering Ted their helping hand.
Whoever lands him is certainly getting much more than a memorable personality; they’re getting a great human being as part of their team.
My best to all.
UPDATE-FINAL: Well everyone. You can give yourselves and Ted a high-five. He’s being given offers hand-over-fist over the air. He’ll be set for life.
My request to all. Whenever you run across a story such as this, don’t assume it’ll take a life of its own, on its own. It won’t. It can’t. There are too many other stories that drown out the one before it.
You need to spend time to get that story and its word out to many. If you care, you’ll do it.
Keep the faith, pay forward and always lend a hand; even if you’re the one who needs it.
God bless Mr. Williams. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him for sometime to come.
Way Back Home
Creativity Comes in all sorts of forms...
Way Back Home is the incredible new riding clip from Danny MacAskill, it follows him on a journey from Edinburgh back to his hometown Dunvegan, in the Isle of Skye.
Pulling Faces
When a bog standard smile just isn't enough...
I mainly did this because it made me laugh a lot, but also because I hate having my photo taken… so I thought if I deliberately made myself look silly then that would be ok. And it turns out it is! If you can think of a face I didn’t pull then maybe show me one day - but don’t give me any warning, just do it, ok?
This project also doubles up as a cheap christmas present for my parents, who will get to see my face every day for a whole year on a 2011 calendar. Lucky them.
Something very close to my heart

God's eternal promise/Our promises
In my former life I lived in Norwich and taught Sunday school there. This was one of the large art projects we did- with loads of chopped up paper and quality street wrappers!
Based on the rainbow being a visible sign of God’s promises to be faithful to us, and how it symbolises God’s covenant with his people. We then attached our own ‘promises’ to the rainbow, as a response in light of what God is continually doing for us.
I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.Genesis 9:13
“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; And I will be their God, and they shall be My people. ” Jeremiah 31: 31-33

Playing around with scans of some woodblock type to create this postcard. Thinking of running it as a screen print if anyone wants one?
