A little Daily Foto Fix that I took a few years ago while in San Francisco. This succulent “B :)” was on the west end of the pedestrian walkway to the Golden Gate Bridge and certainly caught my eye. It seems like a good sentiment to share! ~SueBee

Death of a Golf Course
My recent trip to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park consisted of one night at a resort hotel and one night of camping. The resort hotel looked out on a green, lush golf course, that included a small lake with ducks floating by. As I checked in on the Friday afternoon, I overheard the hotel clerk mentioning […]
Borrego Springs Scenery
I haven’t had a chance to sort through all the photos I took during my weekend in the Anza Borrego Desert, so I just chose a few at random to share. I’m sitting on jury duty most of this week and it will most likely be Friday before I can get to the sorting task. […]
Vintage in Sepia Junk Journal
I’m sharing pictures of my newest 9″ x 6″ journal, called Vintage in Sepia. It’s built on a cardboard base covered in fabrics, both in and out. The two signatures (sets of pages) are hand stitched to a cardboard strip that I then glued and stitched through to the outside spine. There are 80 pages […]
En Route to Anza Borrego
I joined Kat, her husband, Cam, their pup, Quincy, and Cam’s extended family, for a camping trip this past weekend in Anza Borrego Desert State Park. The park is about 125 miles southeast from home, with much of the drive on scenic, two lane roads. We were celebrating Cam’s birthday, and Quincy’s first camping trip. […]
Road 2 California Quilt Show, part 5
This is the fifth and final installment of pictures I took at the recent Road 2 California Quilt Show in Ontario, California. I hope you enjoyed seeing the quilts as much as I did. While photographs don’t tell quite the same story as “up close and in person”, they surely give an idea of the […]
Road 2 California Quilt Show, part 4
…continuing the series of pictures I took at the Road 2 California Quilt show. After this post, I have one final set of pictures to share tomorrow. As you may have noticed, there were so many beautiful and interesting quilts I wasn’t able to stop myself from taking the pictures. If you missed it, the […]
Road 2 California Quilt Show, part 3
…continuing the series of pictures I took at the Road 2 California Quilt show. My favorite quilt of the show is included here, and honestly even choosing a favorite seems silly with so many beautiful quilts. But, something about the techniques and materials used in this barn really brought it to the top of the […]
Road 2 California Quilt Show, part 2
…continuing the series of pictures I took at the Road 2 California Quilt show. If you missed it, the first article is linked here, and has information about the show. ~SueBee
Road 2 California Quilt Show, part 1
Visiting a major quilt show for the first time, and one of the biggest in the country at that, was quite an experience. I joined my sister-in-law, Jeanne, at the Ontario Convention Center this past Saturday, for the Road 2 California Quilt Show. There were three huge rooms full with either vendors selling fabrics, quilt […]
Inside My Urban Grunge Junk Journal
Talk about a fun handcraft project, my newest Urban Grunge Junk Journal was surely it! The theme also allowed me to use some of my downtown Los Angeles street photos. If you’d enjoy seeing a detailed page flip, please click HERE to be directed to my YouTube channel. I listed this book for sale in […]
What’s Landing On My Head
As I mentioned in my last post, Looking Up, I spent a fair amount of time while wandering around the Fullerton Arboretum, looking up. This proved to be particularly true after I wandered off the path to better see what creature was scurrying about, and had something smallish land on my head. My attention was […]
Looking Up, At The Arboretum
After reviewing all the pictures I took last week at the Fullerton Arboretum, I realized I could group these into the “looking up” category and they could have their own post! Just wait until you see my next “looking up” post and see what caused things to land on my head… ~SueBee
Urban Grunge Journal
I just finished an Urban Grunge themed journal, one of my favorite styles to make. I do a lot of street photography and was able to use lots of the photos in this book. I also enjoy the creative freedom of the grunge look… I tried so many new ideas and was satisfied when they […]
Bubbles Following Him
For today’s Foto Fix I’m sharing a picture I took with my iPhone in Los Angeles awhile back… it was one of those “caught it at the exact right moment” pictures! ~SueBee
Birds On The Beach
Feathered friends I passed while wandering along the sand at Newport Beach on New Year’s Day. ~SueBee
Journals I’ve Made
I started making journals in November, 2018, and quickly became hooked on the craft. Making use of my long-held loves of fabric and sewing, as well as gaining an outlet for my many thousands of photographs, and sharpening my brain by learning paper manipulation and digital design techniques… well, there you go. Retirement (and freedom) […]
Washing Out 2019
I made my fourth annual trek to Newport Beach yesterday morning to write the year in the sand and let it wash out with the waves. I’ll tell you, the task isn’t as easy as one might think. Writing numbers big enough to show up in a picture, close enough to the water’s edge that […]
Happy New Year 2020!
Today, January 1, 2020, starts with a picture I took while visiting New Orleans in early 2018. The revelers partying it up on a balcony in the famous French Quarter seem apropos. Many wishes for a healthy, happy, joyful New Year… though perhaps not as much partying as my featured guests have done! ~SueBee
Closing Out The Year 2019
The end of 2019 and the decade of tens is upon us here in Southern California. I imagine plenty of folks are out celebrating, waiting for the approach of midnight to down some (more) champagne and toast one another. I treated myself to a nice dinner out and returned home. I don’t like being on […]
