Susan in Seattle, comment #30!! I sent MaryBeth your email address and she will contact you to get your physical address for shipping. Thank you all for participating.
I keep intending to come back with art and life and share with you all but I realize that after the intense period of time I spent writing the book and creating all the projects for it, I'm now focused on getting my garden ready for spring, spending time with family and friends who got put on the back burner during this time, and getting myself back in shape. I did a lot of stress/emotional eating and now it's time to pay the piper. I like myself a good challenge, though, and I'm enjoying my workouts at the gym, and cooking healthy again, but I'm amazed to see how much time it all takes.
And guess what? I found my book listed on Amazon - how exciting!! There isn't a picture yet but it's there and you can pre-order if you want (I must admit, I was so excited I almost did myself!) Here is the link if you want to check it out.
When Judy was here a couple weeks ago she helped me iron (thank you Judy!) vintage kimono fabrics (did you know I used to sell it and have literally tons?!) I'm going to put some bundles up for sale in my etsy shop soon. Interested?
Now that I'm here writing, I realize how much I miss it and all of you who come here, even though my postings have been spotty. I intend to do better. xoxo
You and me can be long distance cheerleaders for each other in our reconnection with our healthy selves. :)
I love hearing from you any ol' time. :)
