Hello

I thought I'd start this off with a bit of an introduction and why this blog exists.

My name is Bethany. I'm a christian, a librarian, an artist, a collector, an animal lover, a list-maker, a reader, and an explorer.

Eventually this may morph into something else or nothing at all, but for now I'd like it to be a catch-all for my daily adventures, interests, D.I.Y., traveling, music, art, oddities, and friends and family. A bit of a public journal for myself and those who want to stay up to date in my life. While Facebook and Instagram are good tools in their own right, the idea of a personal blog has been intriguing for a while now.

So let's give it a shot and see how it goes.

-Bethany

January Review 2020

This month I... - Was a bridesmaid in my friend Becca's wedding! I'm honored to have been present for the start of their new life together. -Have been gearing up for another Oddities show in Tulsa. It's next month, so I'll be posting about it more at the end of February. But here's a couple things I've been working on! -Got a new friend for the collection. Meet Rufus, the derpy bobcat. Matt and I drove an hour to get him and he now sits proudly on the piano until we can potentially find a more suitable place. Matt pets him and tells him he's pretty. Apart from lots of work and lots of lazy days when we can get them, this month has flown by with not a lot of fanfare. I think we've recovered from the holidays and have begun preparations for the coming months. Between making lots of new bug things and wedding planning, I keep my mind busy.

While there I saw a moose, a bear, explored a ghost town, saw breathtaking scenery, ramb...

This month I... -Went to lots of estate sales  I got this beauty and several other bones/oddities at a few different estate sales.

I'm currently waiting on giant fake eyelashes for her too. - Got to Hang out with these kiddos I got to spend some one-on-one time with some of my nieces and nephews! We watched a movie, went swimming, and played at the park.
