♥ Happy Mothers Day ♥


Hello Dear Friends and Family,

I hope this Mothers day finds you happy and healthy.
Just thought I'd share a beautiful photo of my daughter and
then share the frames I made for the photo.
May you have blessed Sunday.

Git R Done ... LOL

I can't believe it's already the first of April! Where is the year going and why is it in such a Hurry?! Will someone who has some pull with the Man Upstairs ask Him to slow things down?
When we moved in a year ago there were several large piles of rock and dirt that had been left after the Church parking lot was put in. We knew immediately that it was one of the things we wanted to take care of. Unfortunately the rental of the Front End Loader was going to be more than the Church could afford, so we left it. Then Several months ago we met a man who has a business and a Front End Loader and not only was he willing to help us but he was willing to do it for a very discounted price. What a blessing! Here are some pictures of before and after ~

~ Now all we need is some sod and a bit of rock ~ Part of this will be a parking area so people can come to my Front door instead of the back ~ The rest will be more lawn for the house. :)
It's nice to see some progress ... Now who wants to come weed and clean out the Raspberry patch?! Did I ever mention I don't garden? So Mom if you read this.... feel free to come visit and
do all the gardening you like!
Spring is officially here and there will soon be more work than we know what to do with but we are blessed to have a place to live and 2 jobs. (Well 3 counting my graphic design)
Hope you all have a beautiful day!

Life, or something like it ...

Hi dear friends and family~ I'm afraid I have to apologize once again. I have not been good at keeping things up to date lately. I'd say things have been hectic but that would be a lie as they've actually been pretty quiet. I'm struggling with my creativity lately and wishing I could magically conjure it up. Not sure where it's hiding out but I hope it comes back soon!
On the Home Front, things are going well. Ali is excelling in school this year. We were talking just the other day and realized she hadn't asked us for help with her math in months ~ And she still passed with flying colors. She's a smart kid even if she always has her head in the clouds. She is still very much into writing and has several books started... now if only we can get her to finish one.
Cory's job is going well although we're still stuck with the Graveyard shift ~ things could be worse. Working for Juvenile corrections is so much different than working in Adult corrections~ makes for some interesting vent sessions around our house. We are still Care-taking the church property and it's picking up now that it's Spring. Keeping up with the weeds is a full time job and before long the mowing will start for the year. As for me well I got a new car and am enjoying the freedom that comes with being able to just get out of the house now and then. I've lost around 20 lbs this year and am feeling so much better. I am hoping to go back to college either this fall or next spring ~ I would like to get my degree in Graphic Design. My Mom moved back to Twin Falls from Indiana and I'm hoping to take her over to Walla Walla, WA this year to see my sisters kids. We haven't seen them in so long and they've grown up so much. As for my sister, all I can say is please pray for her. ~ Well that's pretty much it on the updates... Gonna have to show you my sweet ride now though~ LOL Hope to have better one's soon ~ These were taken before the summer wheels were on and the lighting wasn't great ~ It's really a gorgeous car. I thought (ahem) That it was a 96 Chevy Camaro but it's actually a 94. It's in pristine shape other than a few scratches that we should be able to buff out. The paint is an original from a shop up in Lewiston, ID. and my back window has their logo plastered across it which makes me laugh every time I see it ~ Hot Bodz and Custom Rods. We've got the custom Rod alright... the hot bodz part well, maybe when I lose a bit more weight. LOL
OK so here are the photo's I was able to get before we bought it. I'll update with the summer wheels as soon as I get sunny day.

Thought I'd toss in some pictures of Ali too ~ she's getting to be so grown up.
Every now and then I miss the little girl who needed me so much ;)




Oh and before I forget ~ Maxwell is now a year old and still as naughty as the day we brought him home, but he's a lover so all is forgiven. LOL Here's a recent picture of him telling me to get back to work ~ ;)


Have a wonderful week ~

~ Artist Block ~ New kit on the way

Hi Friends ~ Just wanted to stop by and let you know that I haven't dropped off the face of the planet. Been having a very frustrating & Unproductive time lately. But the good news is that I'm pretty sure that's over. I'm working on a new kit and hope to have it out very soon.
I have a little sneak peek for you, It's not even closed to finished yet and this poor little guy still needs some shading done... but he's coming along nicely and I'll have some friends joining him soon.~

Thanks for your patience. Keep an eye out because I'm going to have a freebie or 2 to share when I'm all done.
