my roommate left for nyc to pursue bigger opportunities. we are sharing a journal ’round robin’ to express daily activity that enrages us or scandalizes us. so far the first five pages are done from my side of the country. this is page one.

Blurry, but the sentiment is strong. I am choosing a new way to deal with all this crap. image from New York Public Library. background book page from Mill on the Floss by George Eliot. verse from DBT self help. org. I may be taking a risk, but my happiness is more important than a soul crushing day ‘job’. Testing out the waters now….scary. Swap_bot .com is a great source of inspiration. Does anyone from group check here? if so leave a message. Thanks.

going to keep it simple this christmas; lots of anxiety lately. these digital Artist Trading Cards are quick, easy and fun.

went to a cookie bake yesterday where we did almost 3000 cookies. today i have to do typical housework and laundry. does not really feel like christmas with the grim news about lay-offs. i guess i could join the occupy movement but i like having my own space…which i am sharing again with Jess. this is a good thing as i get lonely this time of year.

maybe trading cards will be in your mailbox someday?

just did not get enuff sleep last night. Jess came over last night and we spent like crazy as usual at our favorite stores. I had to finish cleaning my room and pay bills when we got home so I was up till 1 am trying to figure out how I could make $793.00 appear in my checking account. I am exhausted this morning. But hey it’s a short week! Thanksgiving at Deb & Jeff’s new house! got to go the work now…this digital collage was buried on my old computer from my days w/crowabout studio b….

Last night I had company! It’s been a while but it was time Sydney got to hang out at her great Aunt Mary’s house. She was delightful company for a two month old and she slept most of the evening until it was very late and she wanted to party. We had schmizza and pepsi and watched a ton of tv. she enjoyed “Up All Night” and “Toddlers & Tiaras”.

It was a wonderful feeling holding an infant and snuggling and listening to her breathing and feeling her heat glowing out of her burrito like blanket. I was amazed she could stay up that late. I was so intoxicated from baby scent and pepsi I hallucinated UFO’s in this odd series. digital collage. images from nancy baumiller daurrogotype ville, flicker comms.

I am starting to send my website address to bill collectors in hope that they see i am too weird to deal with and they will stop calling me! Here is poor Maddie Dodd, born Madolyn Francine Dodd in 1868, in Portland Oregon.

this mixed media collage is about 8x 9.5. it is for sale for 539.00. or you can just write off my bill to bad debt and put this lovely artwork in your crummy little office….

thanks, sincerely, the artist, briedah

My dad was born in Hartford, Connecticut. This collage was made from some of his stuff that my family sent to me after the ‘files’ on each of my siblings was discovered after he died. Apparently, he spent some time in the Phillipines. Perhaps while he was in the service. These photos span his “young americans” look to his early 50′s. I always thought he looked like movie star and never understood why he did not quit his job with the FBI to move us all to Hollywood.

Happy Birthday Dad!
