..it' the little things..

I was recently blessed by an email
from miss lisa leonard. she makes
silver baubles and oh are they sweet!


i went with the ever so teeny tiny initials. s.o.u.l. after
my little studio. i figure i can wear this to gallerys, art
festivals and meetings. a simple way to remind people
of my business.


lisa also keeps track of her daily grind here.
she has a beautiful family story...


i don't wear much jewelry. i have 2 favorite
necklaces that i wear daily, my frida and my
superhero. i now have this soulful piece.

on a very impressive note. lisa uses her jewelry
to perform random acts of kindness, i know
this first hand. she also has special sales and
send off the proceeds to special groups. recently
she sent one here...in honor of this family.

please take the time to visit lisa. i have to say this
necklace is so well made, simple and fun. people
noticing it on my neck! because it is GORGEOUS!

now go see lisa!
[in case you forgot...silvery baubles here.]

peace.

as charlie would say....ugh!

delilahblue is two!

just finished another girl. i loved her so.

i had planned on posting her here, so that

you could see. my new powershot ate my

saved images. so if there are any canon

users who know how to recover images

off the sim card. please, i am all ears.

she is a pretty spunky and i would love

for the world to see that after three

dry months, kelly pulled a new piece

out of her tush. [ not literally, that would

hurt.]

finally finished up my wedding announcements

job. walked to the local ice cream shop and ate

a turtle [today is my cheat day] but i only

got a small. delilah blue went along for the

walk. today my sweet pooch turned 2. we

love her so. hopefully we will be adopting

a pooch sibling for her within the next year.

i think she would think that is swell.

my college grad has been here for a week,

working for me. pulling my arse out of the

trenches. she is fast and meticulous....two

things this mommy is not! but it allowed me

to get some painting done and spend time

with her.

the other two babes have spring fever and

they are driving me crazy. one talks constantly

and the other strums his guitar rather than

studying for finals.

big BIG class reunion coming in 2 months. one

of my dearest friends is coming in from san francisco.

i haven't seen her for at least 18 years. i can't wait.

i have been using the "body for life" system for 3

weeks now. i don't feel like i have lost weight. but

my fav button up didn't cling to my belly and i am

running 1/2 hour 4 days a week. so that is something

to build on. right?! you betcha.

my soul sister stopped by today, yes miss thang

i know you are reading this. see the drought has

cleared, i posted. you brighten my days, kindred

spirits i would have to say. now get on that

bike and ride!

peace to each of you. hope life is fine.

"I don't ever want to go," he told Harper's when asked about dying.
"I don't have a sense of great reality about the next world; my feet
are too ugly to wear those golden slippers. But I'm working on my
fear of it. And my fear is that something interesting will happen,
and I'll miss it."

thank you mr. rauschenberg for coloring the world.

happy

..life is crazy, i am happy..

the artistic block is about to
make me jump. but i got this
new ad out yesterday.

the moment. nice to have a big
project.
