Let the art happen!

Got going by 5:30 this am. In the Studio, pulling out the good watercolor paper, I was exhilarated with the idea to do some family portraits. Drank another pot of coffee and decided the crystal was looking dim, the china cabinet smudgy, The kitchen was inefficiently organized, and the husbands work area could do with a "clean sweep". Three thirty found me exiled to the basement....something about my stuff is MY STUFF.... I was needing a lay down anyway. Tomorrow I will paint.

WOW!!!

Took a break from my compulsive manic labeling state and discovered the incredible blog of Susan Schwake. Her jewlery is oddly addictive. I spent an hour in a trance like state completely in awe of her pieces.

A Capricorns heaven, a Dymo Letraset from Santa

The label maker has a sticky A so my files read sort of like this: ddress list,gent file and pin treatments. CRAP!! nd I was doing so good too.

HOME SWEET HOME

Can't believe we are finally home 5 accidents, one a fatality, sheer black ice all the way, fog, blizzard , crazy drivers all combined to make us so gratefull to be home but very lonely for my sweet,dear family we left behind. Thank God I have my new Bon Jovi calender to keep me company.

Sooooo happy

It does not get any better than this......2 weeks with my favorite loves without men to cook for, only doing what ever comes up. I am the best looked after Gram ever. I have my own drawer of chocolate, tea, coffee, eggnog Sherpas, who deliver with a smile and a hug and a blond puppy to keep me snuggled. This is the best kind of heaven.

Christmas begins at home

I know I should feel guilty, or shamed, or regretfull but I don't. I just feel damn pleased with myself and excited about the new light box and label maker I purchased with my Michels coupons just 2 weeks before xmas. Does that make me a bad person ? I think not. It just shows that I love to make me happy....That is 11 personal pronouns in a 5 line paragraph...hmmmm.

Merry Christmas

The suitcase is packed....presents for my dear son in law, vitamins, supplements, tonics to prevent diseases due to the dreaded prairie cold, heating pad for the aching joints, Xmas cards to fill out and mail, art work group exchange items, bead project for art days, cemetery info for the interment of mom and dads ashes...I know why in the middle of winter??? That's it, the bag is full....be back in January.

WHAT THE HELL.......CLOTHES, I NEED CLOTHES....AND MONEY AND COSMETIC STUFF....

The suitcase is packed..........
