Happy Mother's Day.....

to my beautiful mother and to all of yours as well. I am very lucky to have my mom close by.....we talk daily, well, usually multiple times throughout the day. It's why I live where I do - can't imagine living somewhere off and not get to see her all of the time. She keeps me calm, which is a chore, is the rock of the family and is so encouraging and postive - the polar opposite of my dear father! It seems as if she fixes everything and is always there to try and make things better. Mom has an etsy store as well, http://birdnestontheground.etsy.com; a place with beautiful handmade items such as quilts, pincushions, and very pretty pillows. Our tastes are not the same whatsoever, but we share the fun in having a place to sell our craft. You should really check it out - I am very modern in style but am so amazed at her level of talent and admire it very much as do many others in her field. I love you mom and hope you have a PIECEFUL day..........

Much Calmer Now

Ok.....I have finally figured alot of this computer language, HTML and image sizing, etc. out and I have to say I am much calmer that I was at my last post! Of course now I'm helping mom which is hysterical all in itself since my brother has worked for Apple for 10 years and he's the expert! Oh well, he's across the country and I'm here.....poor mom!!

Anyway, took off with some friends on Monday and went to the horse races.....I rode in the back and read the newest Artful Blogging magazine. You are talented people out there in the blogging world! I'm feeling alittle intimidated but I will get over it! The pages are beautiful and the words and pictures are so inspiring! I am going to be checking alot of them out. There were about 10 or 12 that really stood out to me and I can't wait to get some quiet time to sit and check them out! Off to finish editing products at Cafe Press......just about done, thank goodness, haven't painted in months! Until next time......
