Three dimensional art... with heart
I’m home! Traveling with a 2 year old is an exhausting business for someone who is not used to it… But we all survived 🙂
Juse a quick note tonight to say that while I was gone I had an email from my friend Kathy Peterson, telling me that my post was up on the new Craft For Health website. Check it out!
Speaking of health, I need sleep- the day will start early and I need all of my faculties! More later…
It’s that time of year for big events- First Communion, Confirmation, baby showers, weddings and graduations. I will be featuring some of my original designs here throughout the next month that are available for personalization. The first design is a simple but classic First Communion memento, available for $25. Includes a whitewashed frame and comes in pink or light blue. Let me know if you are in need of one!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you! I’ll be with a daughter, daughter-in-law and granddaughter on this day. What more could I want?
Are you on the edge of your seat wondering what I am doing in reparation for the biting fiasco? (see previous post) I am sending this magnet in with my daughter who has a cleaning in the AM. Get it- chewing? 🙂 Well, he’ll get a laugh anyway. That and some delicious oatmeal butterscotch cookies. If there are any left.
Today was rainy again but I had a lot to do getting ready for my trip. Finished two projects and instructions for a new magazine I’m in, have one project left to finish and can send a book proposal in that I have been working on for quite a while, AND had a great phone conversation with my peeps about new product! What a day…
Will try to post while I am gone but things might get busy. Hopefully. Enjoy your weekends, everyone!
I didn’t mean to… it was early, I hadn’t had breakfast and he stuck a gloppy impression thingy in my mouth and said something. I chomped down obediently. And then he yelled. I don’t think he said, “Bite”, when I think back. He did say some other things though. Under his breath. Oops.
By the end of the appointment 2 1/2 hours later, we parted friends. He still had his finger. I had my tooth.
Now I am thinking of what kind of peace offering I can bring him…. tune in tomorrow to see what I make him!
Today I just fiddled around working on some Illustrator stuff although there are a million other things I should be doing. Think I will tidy up down here tonight to further lengthen my procrastination tendencies.
Some exciting news- I have been asked by my friend Kathy Peterson, a TV personality and fellow craft designer, to be a guest on her new blog! I don’t have an exact date yet but looks like the end of next week.
Just wanted to update about the demise of the hot tub. It was delivered on Saturday to it’s final resting place, the landfill. My husband was bereft, but there was just too much that had to be put into it- parts, labor, time…. I’m hearing talk of a new one… stay tuned.
Today was rainy and cool. Makes me so glad I went out yesterday and photographed the beautiful peonies that came out this weekend. They are huge white blossoms (they almost look like crepe paper) on this skinny dead looking bush, but every year I get another couple of flowers blooming on it. I counted 12 yesterday. The rain makes them look horrible.
Today was spent getting caught up with projects, sending out estimates for 2 wedding invitation jobs, did a little more on projects for my book proposal, along with the usual emails and various other joys of tending your business. Went to an interesting seminar last night on Email Marketing put on by the Loudoun Small Business Development Center.
News from overseas… did I mention Chris called during the craft show on Saturday? He said they’ll be out of touch for possibly a month so I am very glad I answered. Said the place where he is is packed with people so they are stuck in a tent with rows of cots really close together. The AC was on the fritz and he had spent time waiting in line to talk to Dawn and then there was no answer. But he still sounded pretty upbeat and OK. He has an address but says it might change so not to give it out yet. I am testing with a letter to see if it goes through before I send a box. It was so good to hear his voice… all prayers are welcome for a safe deployment!
