I won second place in the contest, only beat out by a neighbor who wore a sweater with giant shoulder pads and a plethera of real ornaments attached.

I'm really commenting to say that kate and I went to the beehive bazaar today and found your bird cards, which I just love love love.; December 6, 2008 at 4:23 PM

Anyway.

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm a big fan of your photos with drawings and paint and they make me think of Henry Darger which tickles something deep down inside me that makes sense and makes me want to work very hard for things that are meaningful.

Why are they showing Harry Potter previews on ABC when it doesn't come out for 8 months? I can't stay excited that long!; December 6, 2008 at 10:35 PM

I am delighted you are here. If you wonder who I am, here goes a paragraph: I grew up in Provo, Utah. I currently live in Palo Alto, California where my husband is getting a PhD in geology at Stanford University. I am in charge of two little people who both have my heart, Remy and Thea. I got my BFA in painting and my MFA in Poetry, both from Brigham Young University. I just finished my first four children's books. You can find them at ashmae.com. I believe creativity is vital and that we are all capable of good things. This is a place mainly for words, and a little art.

Should you need or want to contact me outside of this blog, my email address is ashmae.hoiland at gmail. I would love to hear from you.
