Had our ‘semi-annual’ dinner with childhood friends … I love these ladies! We come at life from different view points and experiences, while still having so much in common. One of those shared interests is our love of dogs, so I made a couple of quick gifts. Now, with full belly and content mood, I’m …
While being sick, to boot! That’s my excuse, anyway … I have been dreaming about the ‘Cadillac’ of glass paints for a LONG time now. Umm, not anymore … I ordered ‘em! Cuz, my screen printing equipment arrived, and I realized I needed more enamels! I’m just waiting for those to arrive … In the …

So … what’d you do today? I spent this beautiful Indian Summer day playing in the studio with the windows and door wall open … HEAVEN! I also cleaned – a little (umm – not much). Spent a bit of time taking pictures and ‘doing computer work’ … but when that got boring, I played …
Have spent a good amount of time learning the ins-and-outs of CorelDRAW, vectors, masks, more advanced photo-manipulation, filters … ‘til I thought my head might spin. But it’s all good.
