I'm really still here!

A belated Happy New Year to all.  Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving & Christmas. 

The last few months have been crazy busy for me.  My husband and I skipped Christmas because we started moving mid November.  Still not done but close.  We purchased a house in Pahrump, NV.  Small town, low population, no traffic, low cost of living.  We felt it was a great place to retire.  We're certainly not ready to retire but took the plunge while the real estate market was down.

Now the task of prepping our Reno home for sale is in full swing.  Painted the exterior this last summer because of the 2 weddings held in our backyard.  Starting the interior painting today.  New tile floor going down in master bath and then thorough cleaning.  My hope is to list it with a realtor sometime in February.

Many contacted me for Christmas special orders.  Unfortunately I couldn't create anything because my studio was in boxes.  I will email each of you next week to see if you want to cancel or not.  No pressure.  The fault is mine.  I appreciate all of my customers and hope you will continue to enjoy my creations.

Well, painters scheduled to arrive at 7:30.  Need to get in gear.  Have a great day. 

Love is Messy

Good morning! Just a quick post to show off my latest painting. It's titled "Love is Messy" and is a mixed media, dimensional, acrylic & oil piece. It measures 12" square.
