I'm sure that the holidays had many of you busy juggling between family, friends, work, and creating art. Our home seemed to be just that! I was able to meet my birth-daughter over the holidays as she came to spend Christmas with me and her three younger brothers. It was if she had grown up with the boys. They (and I) were very amazed at the similarities of personalities, looks, likes, dislikes, and etc. between the four of them. I was amazed at the opportunity I had to meet this young woman whom I said goodbye too over 24 years ago when I was a teenager.
Besides the reunion and the normal hussle and bussle of the holidays, we celebrated a surprise wedding of my oldest son to his beautiful, adorable girlfriend suggested by the Brides parents! Yes, the Brides parents. So, with just a day and a half of running through-out the streets of Vegas to cover all the preparations ranging from wedding dress to tuxedo to flowers, shoes, and venue, we were able to celebrate their union as husband and wife Vegas Style. Unfortunately, the only things missing were the Brides parents, but they will be hosting a reception later on for the new couple.
With the start of 2012, I wanted to express that I am very thankful for a wonderful husband and my children. Without them, I don't think my life would feel complete. I may not be able to help out as much as I would like, I value the time that I have to have great relationships with all of them. My husband is my best friend. I cherish our time. I enjoy our time. He just twitterpaits me!
Amongst the Holidays, I was able to get a few days of relaxation in and work on some ATCs for trade over at www.atcsforall.com with other artists and I was even able to sign up for a few ATC Swaps that are actively happening this month.
I'll share some of my artwork in just a bit, but I just wanted to thank you all for stopping by. Thank you for commenting. Thank you for your interest in what I do. I appreciate that YOU would stop by little ole' me to see what I am up too. I'm just one individual out of millions who enjoys art and creating, who loves to share with you. I know I'll never be famous. I'll never get my ten minutes of fame, but I hope that my art inspires you. I hope that just a little spark of my talent ignites the flame inside you and let's your creative muse take over.
Thank you again for stopping by. I'll see you soon!
