Dear Insane Children,  Let’s start today’s post with A GIFT. These days, lots of us are using technology like Zoom to connect with work, school, friends and family. And I noticed a number of artists sharing backgrounds for use with video conferencing programs. So I thought, “Hey! We could make and share some too!”  Behold!…

Dear Insane Children Here’s this month’s “Lucky 5” give-away.I bet you thought we’d forgotten?
