New Year New Me, Yeah Right


Okay so my intentions of blogging everyday havn't quite happened but oh well. I have so busy with my jobs and my art that I haven't had two minutes to myself. I am now working as a Doula at one of the hospitals here in town. It is a very progressive program and I am really happy to be part of it. You just gotta love those babies.

The charm swap I am hosting through the ArtUnraveled yahoo group is progressing wonderfully. I have about half of the charms in and the rest coming in the next week. They are some of the most awesome little pieces of art that I have ever seen. I will be posting some pictures on here when I take them for the booklet that will go with the auction piece. I had everyone make one extra charm that will be made into a bracelet and auctioned at AU this fall. Barbara Matthiessen is going to help me put the piece together and gather the info. She is awesome so I know the pieces are going to be great. Those of you who couldn't participate in the swap may want to bid on the pieces. You won't be sorry.

I am also working on a crow chunky book swap, a Frida inspired 4x4 and ATC swap and the monthly doll swap. I will post pics of all this stuff as it is finished, as well as put it on my Picture Trail. That is another place I need to update more often.

I had the most wonderful surprise last week. My son Matt came home on leave from Iraq. He wasn't able to call me until he got to Atlanta and gave me about 5 hours notice that he would be home. Boy was I ever happy. We have been having a wonderful time doing all the things we have missed out on doing since he went away. He has to go back next week but I am trying not to think of that right now.

I guess my picture today is of all the snow that we got right after Christmas. It has all melted now but we may get more this weekend. Not bad for Albuquerque, huh.
