Happy New Year To All!

It is my wish that we all can enjoy a new decade of good health and prosperity in the New Year - 2010!  We leave the first decade behind us [with mixed emotions], and  look forward now to creating and discovering new and better things that will make out place in the world a healthier and better one for the next generations.

It is already tomorrow on the other side of the globe, so Happy New Year to you all! Check in often. We plan on talking about and sharing new and exciting images, information, and ideas.

We also celebrate the New Year tonight with a 'once in a Blue Moon' event .  Good way to start the new decade!  Check out this link: http://hamptonroads.com/node/536025

2010 Calendar

It's not too late to buy a custom designed 2010 BlueOean Calendar at CafePress.  You can view it by clicking on the My RedBubble Profile, where you can then click through the entire calendar before purchase. Remember, it is a one-of-a-kind collection of favorite images for the year.

Last Minute - Belated Shopping

There is still time to shop at both RedBubble.com and CafePress.com for beautiful and unique photo gifts.  Note cards, prints, posters and a calendar have been artfully designed using my images.  Many of these images have also been recognized, and featured in prestigious categories including a RedBubble site feature.  A great way to wind up the year 2009. Take a look. Happy shopping.

Immersion Learning

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that I have added a new element to this Blog - Immersion Learning  - "Providing exciting, real-world exploration programs for kids".

"In 2002, Dr. Robert Ballard and Dr. Stephen Coan founded Immersion Learning™ — a non-profit science education organization that brings ocean adventures and discoveries from Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration, the University of Rhode Island and the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration to kids in classrooms, after-school settings and informal learning arenas.

In our constantly changing world, Immersion Learning™ helps students understand the positive roles that science and technology play in their everyday lives. Immersion exposes students to ongoing scientific expeditions in an effort to ignite their interest in real discovery and learning."

Holiday Time

Where else can you buy great gifts like journals, note cards, framed tiles and keepsake boxes and even wall clocks at reasonable prices?  The totes are especially great.  I use mine all the time. I actually have three! This is a photo of one of them!

If you missed out on the Cyber Monday deals at CafePress, you still have time to buy some great gifts. The tile coasters, pillows, t-shirts, note cards, post cards, and totes, are just to name a few reasonably priced items that are great gifts with unique designs, that speak of individuality and good taste.

We have 31 items in our 'CafePress Store' for $25 or less! Don't miss out, really.
