it’s all good

Wishing you all the best for 2008!  This year marks the 100th anniversary of the countdown at Times Square with a brand new Waterford Ball.  I’ve been there for a few – tonight will be perfect weather for those who witness it (even better for those of us at home watching).   Stay safe, and behave!

Found some artists I want to share with you.  The first is a photographer – I recently purchased a print of her Pierrot.  Isn’t it fabulous?  You can visit Lara Jade at her site HERE, or at DeviantArt

I first saw Suzanna’s work on Etsy.  Then I checked out her website and scored a full wall piece.  She also sells on Ebay.  Isn’t she a clever one?  The one I got says "How wonderful life is while you’re in the world".  You know you want one of these!

This pendant is even more amazing around my neck 🙂  Simone is a genius, not sure how she does it but had to have one!

And how about these earrings?  Lisa has several "eyes" to choose from.  My fellow HIM fans will know why I had to have the Poe Eyes

And while many of us found ourselves in this headspace recently, a cousin of mine has been taking treatments of radiation for cancer in her brain.  Thankfully it’s over, and we’re praying it’s gone.  How would you handle illness like this?  Maybe you have, or know someone who has.  If I had to shave my head the first thing I would do is collect some cool hats.  So that’s what I did over my xmas vacation…made Kathy some hats.  I’m not so swift at it….but it made me feel good.   When you are long distance and you can’t stop over with a meal…..you pray, and make hats.

I’ve seen alot this year.  Some wonderful experiences with my family.  Some new friends, and visits with old friends.  Sadly, a few funerals.  Happily, a few births.  Some discoveries, and rediscoveries.  I scroll back through this last year of posts, and I know that it’s only part of the life I have, but it’s all good.  I am blessed.  And so it goes, into the time capsule for 2007. 

So here’s wishing you good health, good times, and good friends to share it with.  xoxo, Michelle

    What a great “card” to celebrate the New Year!
    Your graphics are amazing, as usual and thanks for the new sources, you little devil (ka-ching)!!!
    Your parting message about your cousin was the perfect balance, reminding us about what’s REALLY important. Makes most problems look about as serious as a paper cut. BY the way, those hats are lovely, look SOFT and Gentle…probably just what she needs. I’ll light a candle and visualize her health burning brightly.
    Happy New Year, my wonderful friend.

    Happy New Year, Michelle! I’m so glad that I met you this past year and here’s to more art-making and coffee & chats. I wish you another year of creativity, inspiration, love and happiness with your family and friends. And of course a new Him cd or two! 🙂
    Your hats looks terrific! What a thoughtful present, too.

    Michelle,
    I was first so intrigued by your etsy “finds”….
    ….but when I read about and saw the hats you made for your friend I was blown away. You must truly be a most wonderful friend to have.
    Happy 2008…..and a very healthy one as well.

    SusannaAnna rocks!!!! How cool! Michelle, I must thank you again for your wonderful rubber. I still haven’t even mounted all of what I got from you months ago. The 2 sheets I have are a fount of endlessly useful imagery. The best, my friend! Please stop by my blog and see the skinny pages I made with GPP stuff!

    Happy New Year, MKW from KWM! Your New Year’s art and photos are superb… and the hats are a lovely gesture for Kathy. As always, I am inspired and wowed by your posts, and you’re right… it IS all good. This little ball we’re all on keeps turning and spinning; and in the end, hopefully, we’ll all be able to say “what a great ride!” All my best to you and yours! See you in May!!!
