...{...still here...}...

hello everyone!

just wanted to let you all know i'm still alive and kicking.  i so would like to keep this blog updated more and i keep promising to, but then life happens and other things crowd out the blog.  idk how some people keep their blog so updated and looking spectacular.

hope you all have been having a fabulous summer.  i'm a little bummed to see it leaving, but after soooo many days straight of 100+ temps for us this summer, i have to admit that some cooler weather will be a nice break.  i even bought a scarf and boots the other day...ha!

i have been planning some blog posts and just transferred nearly 500 pics from my camera last night and have been making some more videos that will be going to youtube in the next few weeks.

one thing that kept me relatively busy was working toward my first craft fair.  actually, my mom - who sews and does custom embroidery work - was approached about being in the craft fair.  but, as payment for creating her logo and business cards, she payed the craft fair fee and let me put in some items too.  so i was busy making 50...yes, that's right...50 cards and several altered canvas art pieces.  and i took pics of every piece to share w/ you guys.  unfortunately the craft fair wasn't very busy and i didn't sell much, but it was a great experience.  and...we were invited to participate in some more craft fairs!

so, that's about it for today... pics and videos coming soon...

oh, i did want to share that pantone has released their spring/summer 2012 color forcast and you can download the pdf.
