Dear Sheila...
Thank you, as always, for your sincere kindness. Im very sad to share that my mother passed away last Wednesday. Were grateful because she suffered so horribly but yet, the utter shock and smothering sadness is tough to bare.
Im sorry to hear you think your sketchbook is awful. I bet its not! I will be looking forward to seeing it!
Take care and wishing you a lovely week.
Best,
Michelle
Oh and PS...I am getting laid off from my job (am I having a crummy year or what?!) so I may get to join you and Jan at one of your art journaling gatherings within a month or so!

Oh boy. Another huge gap in blogging. I actually came very close to just hanging this all up but then that automatic payment deduction thing happened and poof...I'm paid up for another year. So I'm still here and on a whim, I thought I'd show up today and try to blog. One of the reasons I was d...

It's been a longetity long time since I've blogged about goodies scored on one of junk shopping trips. Junk shopping is one of my favorite things to do, as my family can attest. But I must say, I am much more discriminating these days. After several rounds of purging the studio and seeing stuff ...

Studio dreams come true
I believe it's every artist and crafters dream to have an organized space where they can create, dream, and feel inspired. For the past several years I have had "make shift" studio space in several rooms of my home. Master bedroom, dining room, guest room (now Vivian's room) and the sunroom/p...

Coburg Antique Fair, 2010
The day I look forward to every year has come and gone. The one day of the year (ok,maybe the second after Christmas morning) that I can get out of bed before dawn with joy in my heart and a spring in my step. A day that I eat breakfast at 4, lunch at 10, and am in bed again before the sun sets...
What an amazing post...thank you so much for sharing this with us, Jenn. I'm so happy for you! And your pictures are utterly gorgeous!!!!

Shh, don't tell Ben but I think he is awfully sweet. Lego has done it again. They have retired several of Ben's favorite sets and themes only to come out with something new to entice him with. This time it is the characters who make up "Hero Factory", a bionicle-type lego. I could go on and ...
Oh my word! I am ALL OVER that tart! Even if it is time consuming, it just sounds and looks so amazing to still go for it! And SO perfect for summer! Thanks for sharing!

Zucchini and Ricotta Tart from Rachael Ray
If you happen to be one of the few people out there who doesn't have a ton of zucchini in their garden this time of year, you probably have a friend or neighbor who does (you know the one, they're the person who keeps ringing your doorbell and leaving a large bag of giant green squash on you...
Oh my gosh!!! You're so brave, Jenn! Sending you hugs and hugs and more hugs! I'm sure you're going to have a wonderful trip. You're story is so beautiful and I'm so happy for you!

I've been inspired by this old farm table: and these cute chippy chairs! Inspired to re-do my studio. I'm so excited! I think this is, um, the 3rd or 4th time I've "re-done" my room. But I think this is the best yet. :) I spent a good chunk of my weekend bouncing around from m...
Your whole family must be so relieved to have this resolved with such a positive outcome! Congrats. And oh my, is that pup just getting cuter by the day or what! :-)

I love telling this story... LOL Last year, Angela of Filigree Moon & I shared a booth. And I thought we made the perfect pair! : ) She had the "handcrafted" items... and I had the "stuff". The perfect booth, huh? But this year, she had other plans. tee-hee Yep, that's me! At...
Hi Joanna...I also recently went through a "done with blogging" phase but I realized I missed it. The key, for me, was to stop putting pressure on myself to blog. Lord knows I don't need anymore guilt about one more thing in my life. And as soon as I let go of blogging expectations I put on myself, I find it much easier to blog.
Glad you're back with us! :-)
