Fun fool, Lorrie ! No one got me yesterday. Did you get got ?
Thanks for your comment about my list of things I have done for myself lately. Funny thing is that it started off as just a huge long paragraph, and I thought, "no one is going to want to read that !" and made it into a list. When it is listed, it became more impressive to me that I had done so many little things recently that add up to a big bunch of self-love in the end. Feels good to see that !
Still working on the cutting back on sugar thing big time ! Damn you, Easter Bunny ! ;-)
Hi Lorrie! I'm so glad you popped in and nudged back over here. I love this little gal and her very cool and clever hair!
It was fun to go through and see what you've been up to. I still love those houses, but now love the foreclosure houses too. Something about your houses for me - just adore them.
Hope you are well and I'll be back more often! marsha
Ladies, I'm so glad you wrote! I'll be back in touch soon. We leave on a Spring Break trip in the morning and my things-to-do-before-we-leave list seems to be getting longer rather than shorter.
I teach paste painting, altered photography and a variety of other workshops. My emphasis is usually on playing with the materials. Fun produces great work. Contact me if you're interested in having me come to your area.
I am a paper artist and instructor: handmade paper, paper mosaics, mixed media and surface design. Vibrant colors and interesting textures inspire me and are the primary elements used in my artwork. It comes full circle. My art makes me happy, gives me time to think, and I'd like to think it makes others happy too. Ah, and there's another circle...
