Life Happens

Best Friends Matthew and Bandit
In Loving Memory of Bandit 1997-2007
We miss you lots.


Well it's been an interesting several weeks to say the least. I think we are on our way up again. When you are without power for nearly 14 hours, scratch an eye on the same day the power goes out, find out your 18yo daughter has an ovarian tumor, the dog passes over the rainbow bridge, car troubles, a wee bit of flooding, an irate ex friend threatening the 18 yo, husband's company gets sold, is reorganizing and his job is changing and he's majorly stressed, well the only place you can go is up. The good Lord said He'd never give us more than we can handle, but there are times I wonder. Now to wait and see if DD needs surgery is the big thing looming on the horizon.

On a brighter note, I have some artwork to start uploading. I've been playing catch up all month on my swaps and commitments. Desperately need to start on Christmas gifts and cards. I'm heading off for a mini art retreat with friends next weekend, yippee. It's fun to get away for a breather and some artwork. Actually I won't be home the majority of the upcoming weekends. First the retreat, then off to Dallas with my daughter for National Portfolio Day, a middle ages event and then the Race For the Cure. I'll be designing Christmas cards for a 4 hour workshop on Oct. 11th. I'll probably be running from now until after Christmas.
