For more than six months I have had my hands full with other things and not had the time to blog. I miss it. Primarily I miss visiting sites of fellow bloggers and the friendly exchanges I have enjoyed so much.
My involvements will not permit a full scale return to the blogosphere but I hope to pop in from time to time.
Last September I concluded all the classes I decided to take at the art school. October 5th I took up a part time job to supplement graphic freelancing. It consists of helping women leave lives of drug and alcohol addiction and find the peace and purpose they were made for.Β Though this part of my life has been very challenging I can honestly say it has been worthwhile. In November of last year I also took on a rather large start up company graphic/planning job. Nothing like feeling over your head to make you grow.
What am I looking forward to this summer? My recent visit with Dawn, Sis, and Nikkipolani were the highlight for me. I told Nikki that I wanted to go back to Texas for a week and help Dawn refurbish her atelier/studio. I love projects like that.

The atelier is the building in the top left of this photo.

Hello.
Nice to have a catch up.
Sounds like your activities away from blogging are definitely worthwhile.

Hello there! How super that you came up for a breather ~ You have been a very busy person, with school and then work commitments and challenges.
It sounds like you, Nikki and friends had a great time in Texas lately and your plans for summer sound creative and fun!
I’ll look forward to seeing you on your blog whenever you’re ready for another breather π

It’s amazing what one will contemplate tolerating (i.e., 4 months at 90F+) when there are friends there. Hope you do get to go back and visit π

Hi Flighty! Just saw your note. Yes, I have missed you too. I am hoping to get over to your plot very soon π
Hi Nikki. I am planning to visit again as soon as I possibly can. But probably after the summer heat is past.
