WordPress Goodies & Sneak Peeks

In the process of transferring some Altar & Hearth Magazine things so I can upload directly to that website, I had to get a WordPress account.  So, since I had this nice free potential website, I decided to play with it and set it up as a tentative site promoting this book I'm working on - not to mention that practicing like this will keep me from messing up something on the A & H website.

So far the website looks surprisingly professional after loading some pictures from my California trip last year (hard to believe it's been a year already!).  I need a lighter home page image but I need to make a haori first, talk to the folks in town who have an old Colt 45, and the people north of town who seem to be owning or boarding a dun paint that looks remotely like one in my book....yeah.

Anyway, enjoy the snippets that are up right now!  I still need to figure out if I can copy my Excel calendar files over into Photoshop for the dates section.  I'll mainly be doing character sketches in the blog section.

Theological Resources

This is mainly for my own convenience, but if any of you find it helpful, well and good.  I do a LOT of apologetics on Twitter (you can follow me at @ColleenEldrach1) and rather than hunt through all my usual go-to websites every time I need to share an article, I've decided to post the most useful ones here by topic for easy reference.

Catholic Girls Afternoon Out

Well, I was going to start out by posting all the things we talked about in article format, but I just realized that some of my little demo sketches are somewhere on the home computer rather than on my flashdrive, and the blog will not let me copy and paste them from a Word document.  Grrr.  Therefore, I will start with the pictures instead.  (That's probably what all of you wanted to see first, anyway.)  Congratulations, Angela!  Gift Certificate: Angela Robbins was the lucky winner of the 50% off gift certificate; we did waive the "must be present to win" rule because so many people had to leave early, but by lucky coincidence Angela was still there anyway. Thanks to everyone who participated, and to Sister for drawing the ticket! Mini Fashion Show: Then we did a very small fashion show focusing mainly on bridal gowns.  We did look at the other outfits but we left most of them on the hangars this time.  Wedding dresses are much more int...

Irene Ulanowski Obituary

Image
Today was the funeral of one of my best friends.  I knew her since I was 11 or 12, saw her nearly every week, talked to her on the phone, went shopping with her, went out to eat - the works.  It didn't matter that she was 63 years and some months older than me.  She was like a third grandma and a great girlfriend all in one. Her name was Irene Anna Ulanowski, and she was born on August 7, 1927, in Hamtramck, Michigan, as the fifth child and second daughter of Anthony and Anna Kotowski, staunch Polish Catholics.  Her parents decided to name her Anne Marie, but their oldest, seven-year-old Janina, was so excited and kept exclaiming "my Irene!" that then eventually settled on a compromise (apparently the three boys in between Janina and Irene, Chet, Hank, and Stanley, weren't outspoken enough on the name topic to have an influence). Anna Kotowski had been born in Poland in 1902 but was sent to the United States as a young teen by her family.  She worked at a bo...
