Almost 56...



Tomorrow is my birthday. As I read the comments from my last post I became very thankful for this whole blog learning adventure this year. I started this blog last January and thought it was kinda weird and didn't know what making it was about for me. Turns out I have totally enjoyed writing about my life and art process. It's been many things for me: a quiet time of the day to sit and reflect, a way to "see" what my dearest friend K is up to, a conduit for encouragement and inspiration from internet friends Michelle and Beth who I have never met, it has pushed me to look more at my environment and document my world with photos- to see more! and best of all a way to stay on track and keep making art despite everything: job, illness, sick animals, and the famous "too much to do". 

So, on my 56th birthday I celebrate this blog and all the riches it has given me. I appreciate anyone who reads it, sending hugs to all.

What a lovely photo!!
I remember when you wrote me a little conversation via Etsy about my blog and about starting your own. You were a little apprehensive about it, but I am so glad you did it!

Hope you had a wonderful Birthday! Lots of hugs to you!
