Gustafson GallerySaturdays from October 4-December 20, 10 am-4 pm, “The Igloo,” 1100 NW Murray
The Baggarley sisters, Rhonda and Karen, will have their paintings on display and for sale through the holiday season. Paintings are for sale framed or unframed, including modern and nearly century-old barn board frames. Rhonda Baggarley had always wanted to learn how to paint, but with raising four kids and working full-time, she knew it was something that was going to have to wait until the kids were grown. She says, “I attended my first painting class two years ago and was hooked. Inspired by the late Bob Ross, I enjoy creating mostly landscape paintings with mountains, lakes, waterfalls & seascapes, along with a few floral paintings. My country roots also inspires a number of barn and cabin paintings.” Karen says, “When I first created a few paintings over 25 years ago I knew I wanted to do it again. After a long absence I restarted two years ago with my sisters. I was busy raising three children, working, and watching grandchildren quite often, so there was limited time. I have also been inspired by the late Bob Ross, Jerry Yarnell and other various artists. Growing up in the country makes me appreciate the beauty of landscapes. Working with oil and acrylics gives a little different effect and it has been fun using old barn boards and hinges in my framing. Recognizing what I paint from the viewer’s perspective is important to me. The sisters have some of their paintings on display at the Camp 18 restaurant enroute to Seaside. In addition to their new gallery, the sisters also have paintings for sale on their websites GustafsonGallery.com, Etsy.com and Yessy.com.

You’ll get your business name on one or both sides of a banner, and if you’re not a CMBA member yet, the cost will include membership for the remainder of 2014. You may request a specific light pole, but it’s first-come, first-reserved, so don’t delay. One side of a banner for a full year is $300, two sides is $500.

Making Your Home Work for HomeworkBeth Giles, NW Organizing Solutions, has some great ideas to help students succeed. Creating an organized study space will have an impact on how well you and your family study or do homework. Although this is not usually a stand-alone room, it is still an important space to consider when organizing a home. Pick a space: Designate a specific area for the purpose of homework or studying. It should have a clear, flat surface to work on, such as the kitchen table or a desk. You will need comfortable seating as well as sufficient space to spread out your study materials. Other critical features include adequate lighting, a comfortable temperature, and proper ventilation. Evaluate your personal style and needs against the condition of the space you have chosen. It is particularly important to consider how sensitive you are to distractions. Some people find noise, people moving around, and even views out of windows to be disturbing to their studies. Remember that there may be other family members involved in their own activities during your study time. You may also think about the feel of the study space. Some students don’t work well in their bedroom because they see it as a place to rest rather than a place to concentrate. Others have a hard time sitting still or focusing in a room with bright colors or many decorations. Consider if homework time or computer use should be in an area where supervision and help are easily accessible. Set it up: Gather everything you may need for studying. The effort you put in now eliminates future distractions and delays brought on by looking for additional items. Smaller tools like pens, pencils, ruler, and tape can be stored in a drawer or portable small bin in the homework area, or these items can be easily carried there at the start of your study time. Larger items like extra paper, dictionary/reference books, or files can be housed in a nearby cabinet, bookcase or a moveable cart. Remove possible physical distractions from the area. Computers or tablets may be necessary and helpful during some homework times but may be a tempting distraction at others. Piles of gadgets, toys and leisure reading books in the study area may also interfere with quality work time. Do your part: In a common area of your home, set up a school “Inbox” to receive all those papers, forms, and schedules that need to be read, completed, or signed. Make sure everyone knows where the “Inbox” is located, so they can deposit daily the papers they receive. Having a specific location for these incoming items will make it easy to complete the needed tasks and return them on time. By choosing the right space and setting it up for success, you can make your home work for you, which is a big step towards making homework manageable. If you’d like Beth to help organize any part of your home or business, help you prepare for a move, or if you’re considering downsizing, contact her by visiting her website (nworganizingsolutions.com), email Beth@NWOrganizingSolutions.com, or call 503-709-0791.
Pet Barn Cat Trees
The cat trees at Pet Barn are beautifully crafted with unique, sustainably harvested driftwood from Canada. The company is Phoenix Feline Furniture, and the owner, Mark Phoenix , has a license to pull the driftwood from the beaches in Canada. He cleans and dries the driftwood completely before crafting the wood into individual cat trees and posts. The wood is a soft—unlike regular wood that is brittle and will crack—so there are no splinters while allowing cats to get their claws into it, and the wood stays intact for years to come. Cats love the natural scent of the wood, and can get their claws into the wood for a good stretch. Catnip can also be rubbed into the natural cracks and knots of the wood! The cat trees are extremely sturdy, lasting many years. Prices range from $25-$80 for smaller posts, $100-$300 for medium posts, and the largest tree currently is $475. Pet Barn will be receiving another shipment of new cat trees and posts the first week of November. Pet Barn is located next to Bales Thriftway, and carries a variety of food and accessories for all kinds of pets, including reptiles, birds, and more!
