I must admit I've forgotten how to blog so if this looks strange please forgive me, it's been a few years!<br />
I do hope you've all been well and life is treating you kindly......I've been working in my studio (cleaning it unfortunately, not creating!) but it badly needed to be done. I'm getting rid of so much stuff, unfinished projects, supplies, etc.<br />
<br />
Not too sure yet where I'll sell these goods because Etsy has surely been letting me down for at least the past two years. Too many changes, sigh, and not for the good.<br />
<br />
I'll leave you with some current 'work-in-progress' photos and hope to re-connect with you all very soon!!<br />

I admit I've had troubles of late with google.....it's what happens when you take a "time out". Things change behind your back!<br />
<br />
We look forward to our annual beach trip which will happen soon. It's the thing that memories are made of!<br />
<br />
So many changes in our lives recently, thankfully most of them great. Hope you and yours are feeling the same. It's Summer and the livin' should be easy. I hope you're all taking the time to relax and re-fuel.<br />
<br />
I made these BEACH letters using my dd's Laura Ashley border. They sold pretty quickly and I do hope the new owner enjoys these letters! I love making things like this that speak to people. I like to imagine how they will use them in their home. Are they for a child's room? A studio? A sunroom?<br />
<br />
It's fun to think of the possibilities.........don't you think?Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10579757806350547212noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821904394394642976.post-34564220699550571572015-05-18T17:46:00.001-07:002015-05-18T17:46:18.689-07:00My long awaited shrine.........................<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This special table is one that my dh bought me for Mother's day. I saw it in the mall and hesitated....when I went back it was gone............!!!! Oh no! We've all been there, right?<br />
Well, dh had purchased it for me and kept it a secret for an entire week....I'm impressed!<br />
<br />
In any event, I thank those who have inquired about me and what happened with my blog or lack thereof...... It means a lot to me and you know who you are!!!<br />
<br />
In other news my sweet dd is about to graduate from 8th grade and her one and only school so we have a ton of festivities just ahead of us.......all great! What a special time in a young persons life.<br />
She's such a wonderful girl, we are truly blessed.<br />
<br />
Hope you're all well.......I look forward to getting back into the blogging world.Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10579757806350547212noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3821904394394642976.post-52062966499443134692014-12-04T07:47:00.000-08:002014-12-04T07:47:05.417-08:00A teeny bit of Christmas decorating.....<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

He's 83 years old and up until now has been very healthy....walks a LOT! My sis and I flew to Arizona right away (last Thursday) to help my brother who lives near him. He's doing great now, we were with him for an entire week and able to cook, clean, and generally see that he's back on the right path and feeling better (and thank God he is). While Dad was in the hospital we got some shopping in (of course we did!) The shops in his town were amazing and we only scratched the surface. After all, what would expect from a shop called "Snap-Snap"....awesomeness! We didn't even make it into any thrift shops and there were a lot....we kept going back to the antique stores because they rocked. Lots of pretty books.....what else, right?</i></span></td></tr>

I found so many treasures that I can't wait to go back! Not to mention just spending some great fun quality time with my sister. You see, we've been apart for the last 30 or so years, only seeing each other a handful of times...so sad. Now that she lives closer we're taking advantage of it! So we were in a shop at the coast and I saw this HUMONGOUS scale. The price floored me, but not for the reason you may be thinking...lol! It was priced at $15! Yeah, I know. Now here comes the dumbest part of this story....I didn't buy it!

But wait, what's this I see? A price tag on each and every one of them? Surely my eyes deceive. But no, they each were priced at $29....but since they were yellow tags they were an additional 25% off!</i></span></td></tr>
