To give of yourself to love___

And look

at only 10 months old.

Mom put a load of laundry

in the dryer...2 minutes maybe

and he unrolled the TP

and learning to flush the pot!

That's my grandson.

He cannot forsee the drama of 

having to use the darn think

working it

I have been drawing

Here is latest work

Sometimes no means yes

...No...

Are you a

  rule follower,

 or do you

make your own rules?

Verdict is still out for me.

How about you?

hangin in there

Still on Vacation.

Time to sit

and think...

what is important.

Relationships are important.

I am happy

being with

my guy.

cooking together

sleeping together

playing cards

 talking,

not talking

Nice

very

Nice.

It's not to say

I don't miss work...

 hangin with the girls,

painting,

creating,

seein my Sam,

family.

But sometimes

The person you choose

to spend the rest of your life with,

they need to know

You are there for them.

You think about them.

They are important.

"WE"

are important.

Here is more from my studio.

I like

old

worn

...papers...

...chip-ee white paint...

...buttons...

...pencils...

...aqua...

Little things that have been held by loving hands

and cherished

put away 

forgotten

then

found.

If you had a blank piece of paper in front of you...

what would you say?

who would you say it to?

Here is a quote I found the other day.

great

minds discuss ideas.

average

minds discuss events.

small

minds discuss people."

fun studio finds

Things

in

my 

studio.

little treasures

These are a couple of inspiration boards

that sit above my studio desk.  

Messy

sorry.

I am still in awe of the blogging world.

I find so many great images and ideas.

It is like a big treasure hunt.

Tastes are so diversified and individual.

I am amazed at what people come up with.

I just wish there was more time in the day...

It is easy to get caught up in the
 hunt...

and for those of us who 

PROCRASTINATE

yikes...

stressful

...oh well...

it's

still

fun.

GuessI just won't fret over it.
