Post Christmas

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!
