Its a busy world

I am so brain dead. I did another commission box with giraffes, sunset and a giraffe skin pattern wood burned on it. I was so anxious to deliver the work that I forgot to take pictures of it! I can’t believe I did that mess up.

I got gift art! FANTASTIC in real life. Sopchoppy photograph of a mountain in Glacier National Park http://sopchoppy.deviantart.com/art/Glacier-Mountains11-74289381 . It is absolutely gorgeous! I really was so thrilled to get it. His photographs are so clear, colorful, cropped just right and wonderful subject matter. They are great! Please go give him some love.

It made a bad couple weeks feel a bit better. I found out that I have to find the money to have my daughter’s wisdom teeth removed and at the same time I need to take my son for braces. His teeth are so crowded that the confinement is starting to make cavities. They told me if it is not taken care of the teeth coming out in different directions can cause cuts, infections and stuff in his tongue and cheeks.

I already knew that things are a bit tight but they always have been tight. I started doing some odd jobs on the weekends to make extra cash and along with the commissions I am sure it will all work out. I don’t want any money from anyone. I don’t even want any commission work right now because I have four on the schedule. Just letting people know ONE of the many reasons I am not doing journals or that kind of thing.

Now the Stop Smoking front. I still have not smoked, crave daily but not given in. 9 weeks now and 3 days and about 15 maybe even 20 pounds heavier. That’s another reason I am not on the computer as much as the past. When I sit at the computer I want to snack. I find it really hard to just sit down. Already just writing this I got up emptied the dryer, went to the store for cookies, played with the dog and had a long debate about the state of personalities in a workplace with my children.

I just wanted everyone to know that things are doing pretty okay. Just become a more active person.

Hugs to everyone.
