Zine - 'The Diplomat' Netflix Series Notes

Do you remember book reports we did in school?  This zine is a 'riff' on a book report.  Using the zine format, it contains my most important notes from the first two seasons of 'The Diplomat', a Netflix production that I have really enjoyed watching.  

The show is about a woman appointed as an Ambassador to the U.K. (rather than Ambassador to Afghanistan which is what she wanted).  Plus it is about politics and political intrigue in two governments that intersect when there is an Embassy of one in the other's country.  The show begins with the explosion on a U.K. Aircraft Carrier that results in many fatalities and the Prime Minister of the U.K. is intent on finding the responsible party, as he should be.  Of course, there are many other plot twists and turns beyond this single incident.  

Because I don't want to give away the show, I'm only providing a photo of the zine's cover .  It is a quick sketch of the White House, because it is the U.S. President who nominates Ambassadors (even though the Senate has to approve them).

Fabric Basket - Pretty Easy

These baskets are a great holiday gifting idea that you can match to family and friends' home decoration color schemes.  They're fun and useful besides.

Highjacked Blog Photo

My profile photo was highjacked ! For those of you who are blogging, be wary. There are some unscrupulous folks out there who may be using or about to use a photo(s) you've uploaded to an online photo-hosting site. At the time I created a blog, having a URL for a photo uploaded online was the only way to insert a photo in your profile or to create a custom header. There had been no problems for a long while. This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out. I eliminated my membership to that online photo-hosting service today and caution anyone to be careful with uploading images to the internet . If you read the terms of agreement at many sites, you'...
