whatta week!
Before I talk about the week ahead I will say something about the last weekend. I was super lucky to have an opportunity to teach at the Career Capades day at our kid's high school. It was an action packed day with many presentations in all kinds of departments. I was asked to set up for a workshop and chose to go with monoprinting as it is fast, easy, and quick-drying. With the assistance of some art students we kept the tables turning over so we could let everyone who was interested come have a try at a painting technique. Some 'customers' whizzed in and out but there were some who stayed and kept at it, making lots of cool painted prints. LOVE that I got to witness young kids taking an interest in making art.
There is still time to "Grab a Tissue", then next month we will try monoprinting for the crusades.
And now this week. OMG. Love my him, Him, and HIM. him: it is our 20th anniversary tomorrow! I am such a lucky girl to have this man in my life. What a blessing to exchange vows with him and launch a family together. Life is good. Him: this weekend is Palm Sunday. The beginning of Holy Week. I remember learning as a kid that the ashes we get crossed on our forehead at the beginning of Lent is from the burned palms of the year before. I don't know if that's true but I like the connection. Mom and Dad will be arriving next week to celebrate Easter with us. And HIM: the new video was just released…my favorite track on the album too! Thursday, Fallon and I go to the signing. (I am frantically preparing gifts right now!) Friday, Graham and I go to the opening night of the tour. We are out of our minds with excitement! Gah!

sah-weet, sweeeeet, and sweet
Check out this new score (from Heart of the Home in New Hope, PA). It's not just sweet, it's sah-weet….said with two syllables. I was introduced to Tammy Smith in the current Somerset Studio. Such clever work. Great imagination and skill with wire. She has a blog too…go SEE.
Also in this issue is my friend Linda Warlyn. She is the sweeeeeetest, and so talented. The Artist Portfolio article is written by another sweet friend, Lynne. Here is the journal page Linda made for me in the Love Book I received last year from a host of sweet friends. All those teeny delicate details. It is so her and I treasure it like everything she has given me.
Check out this sweet treat that was delivered, YES DELIVERED, to our home recently. From Linda! She is an amazing giver, and she really *gets me*. We gobbled this right up…and if she wasn't so far away we would've gobbled her up too. Time to start nagging Linda to blog 😉

another lucky day
You can see I'm still enjoying the felting thing. I didn't get organized enough to send any out so I hung these up at home. Heard some really good news this week. It's a case of being lucky again, and living in the right state. *faints*
Off to spend the day with my dear friend Judi. Hope you have a grand day too!

catching up
Thank you so much for the loving and caring comments and emails. You have made me feel connected even though I've been unplugged for a while. It's been a blurry few weeks and I am feeling so much better. Thank you, truly.
My pages from yesterday fall into the *evidence* category. Lots of messages that came in cards, with gifts, a fruit basket, fresh flower bouquets, and LOTS of ROSES! How about this message from Lisa…made me grin, and it's so true 😉
I put in some time on my other blog today too. Crusade No. 38 is posted. A super easy and fun way to layer on a page is to use tissue paper….even cooler if it's painted. Go see, then play along with us.Journaling reads: I think being and feeling lucky is entirely on your attitude and perspective. I am a lucky girl.

the view from here
I've been laying low. Had an encounter with an unwelcome kidney stone. Hope to be back to full speed soon. I'm surrounded by love. I'm a lucky girl.
