What is...

1. one place you volunteer (or would like to)? Why?
The cat shelter! I love animals, especially adult cats. I always felt so helpless when I heard about all the cats and kittens being put down in shelters, abandoned, or abused (usually because people claim they "hate cats".) I feel so incredibly lucky to have a shelter so close to me and be able to play such a big role (board member, volunteer, advocate, media...)

2. one book you'd like to see made into a movie? Why?
I have been reading "The Bean Trees" by Barbara Kingsolver and for a minute I thought "hey, this would make a great movie!" until I remembered that every time a book I love gets made into a movie, it sucks and totally ruins the book (a la "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood").

3. one creature (living, extinct, or mythical) you'd like for a pet? Why?
A miniature horse. I love horses, but we have no room for one. A little tiny one would be amazing.

4. one place on Earth you'd like to visit? Why?
Australia, New Zeland. Just because I feel like I'm *supposed* to go there.

5. one talent or skill you'd like to develop? Why?
Is confidence a "skill"? I could use some self-esteem. I'd love to be able to dance really well. Considering I don't walk that well, that's not gonna happen. so, for reality... I would like to become a better swimmer.

Chel (pronounced "shell"). 33. Mama to Gracie. Artist. Friend. Adoptive parent. Scrapbooker (not a very good one, at that). Long distance swimmer. Animal rescuer. Wife. Beader maker. Vegetarian. Rubber stamp collector.

Why the change? This new face of gingerblue.com is the culmination of three online journals/blog (the adoption blog, the baby blog, the art blog), plus the personal web page I have been maintaining since 1995. Here you'll find updates on Gracie, updates on my jewelry making, what I have going on in my art studio, and what's going on with life in general.
