Well we've survived yet another year of family, food, drink and insanity. For me, this year included a bout of stomach flu (for the entire family), and of course the regular dose of family drama. I have to say though, Santa was very good to me this year. Diamond earrings, pedicures, tea, sweaters, and a electric blanket (which might seem, I dunno, cheep? but TOTALLY isn't, it is BRILLIANT).
I also did a weekend at a craft fair the week before Christmas, selling my paintings, and cards. It went so horribly I skulked back to my home and have had to re-evaluate my situation yet again... I think it's about the 10th time I've done that. You'd think I'd have learned by now, but evidently I'm a little stubborn.
I am working on a few personal projects, including a portrait in oil of my 16 year old cat, and hey I actually got a commission... it's not really going to expand my portfolio, but it's going to pay the bills!
And just to let you all know, I will be gone from the 21st to the 28th as I will be in sunny Punta Cana for a friends wedding!
I will update in a few days with an "In Progress" for my cat's painting. Till then, stay safe and stay warm!

Website Updates, Christmas Cards, and sweat....
Phew -
I whole new section to the website my followers! A few of the cards and invitations I have designed over the passed few years have been uploaded! Of course not with the personal information of my clients... duh!!! that I changed with fictional names and addresses.
It's just been a crazy couple of weeks since I've been unemployed - I've created about a dozen different Christmas/Holiday cards for the upcoming season, not including those that I have been painting by hand, and created an invitation for a baby shower.
Oh the wonders of actually having time to do my own things. Including a new workout regiment that includes a Jillian Michaels DVD that makes me want to cry at the end of each workout.
As Yoda said, "Try not, do or do not." And I am doing through a tear streaked face and trembling muscles.
And a quick note for people, I will be selling my cards at an upcoming Bazaar in November, and a Craft Fair in early December (I'll send out a Facebook invite when we get a little closer). For those of you that want cards ahead of November you just have to email me or call me!
