staycation rocks

well, not as much as it would've if heather, angie, dina and erin were here. :)
But still, all this thinking... all the quiet...it was a breathe of fresh air to have read your encouraging comments. To hear from you sweet friends that you are praying and thinking of me. And I can tell you that I have felt lifted and better because of it. So grateful for each of you. I too keep you in my heart and prayers.

So my last week of vacation came this week. I would've loved to have invited you into my studio for some paper and glue fun...and yes, spray paint is not optional (and who cares if the stuff doesn't wash off your hands :) I would've invited you to the starbucks down the street for a coffee break, or two. And I would've loved to have heard how life is going for you. So how is it?

I've been so quiet lately. But I mean it in a good way. I've been thinking...and sometimes being a futurist thinker isn't good because that only causes me to worry. But the worrying was subsided when I had to move my studio out for a bit to add fresh paint. White. Ahhh.... a blank white canvas. love it. So in the mean time I ended up looking through boxes and boxes of stuff I forgot I had (why does that always seem to happen?). And I was determined to only allow things back into the studio that I really did need. And I kept thinking about this piece I made...



And then I thought...hmm... everyone needs a little inspiration so here you go!
