Oh My!!!!!!!

Greetings All,
I received my journal from the ZNE swap a few days ago. It was so beyond my comprehension how Hope could do this without knowing me. It is so ME. Even down to the puzzle pieces. Just goes to show you that there is a link amongst artists. Wow! I have it set out on an antique table and when I walk past, I MUST touch it, open it, feel it, drink it in with my eyes. Now I must fill it with words that matter.
Here is a link to her blog....there you can view my beautiful gift.

Please go see it. You will realize that many out there truly care about others and take the time to show it. Thank you, Hope with all my heart.
Peace to all.....

Catching Up!

Greetings All!
Seems I have been in no man's land lately. It is nice to be back to the blog and some art.
I am posting a few pages from my latest journal creation. It was for a ZNE Artists and Poets swap. My first swap and I must say I really put a lot of time into this to make it just right for my swap buddy!
Things are moving along here rather well. Still working on my new studio which should be ready to organize in a week or so. Then back to the art! YAHOOOOOO!
May all of you have a wonderfully creative day.

Exciting News!

Greetings Faithful Readers,
Some of you may know that I belong to a wonderful artist group called ZNE. Website is www.variazone.com. Any of you interested in joining this group, their dues are very affordable with several types of membership available. I have met so many talented, kind and special artists here in the last few months. We worked on a group poetry project which you can see if you click the link to the right that says ZNEpoetry.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I know I was proud to be a part of the project.
Check it out when you get time.....Remember those who love you daily, they are a blessing that never goes away.
Hugs to all,
Cath

Winter Greetings!

Greetings Faithful Readers!
Seems like forever since I have been here. So much has happened, we actually had snow twice in once week! It was lovely and I did take some photos.
Life has been busy with cleaning closets, reorganizing and such. Seems the chores never end but there is a method to my madness. If I can accomplish all of that, then my art gets pushed to the front!
I still haven't had an Etsy sale but am hopeful that the New Year brings new lookers.
Ebay is slower than watching barbed wire rust, but it should pick up soon, too I hope.
Not much else for now. Know that I so appreciate all your prayers during this time of loss for my family.
Tell someone today how much you love them!

New Year's Blessings to All

Greetings from rainy Georgia,
Seems I have not been here in ages. My mother-in-law passed on Christmas day peacefully here with us. There is a great sadness, yet a hopeful joy in knowing she is no longer burdened by the illness of her body.
I just wanted to wish all you faithful readers, family and friends a joyous New Year with all the blessings your heart can hold. Your prayers through this time have helped me and my family so greatly.
I will be back to creating after next week and hopefully will have some funky new stuff for you all to see. Let's hope that Ebay sales pick up a bit and I am still waiting on my Etsy shop to have it's first sale. They say patience is a virtue, so I am attempting to be virtuous! LOL
Again, your prayers were truly appreciated. Happy New Year!
Peace,
Cath

Friday is Here!

Greetings All,
I have been a bit neglectful of my blog lately due to the illness of my mother-in-law. She is now on hospice care so your prayers are greatly appreciated.
Not much new on the art end of things. I have a few mermaids almost finished. Etsy and Ebay are slower than watching barbed wire rust, but I am hanging in there.
Have a wonderful weekend. Remember those you love, they like to hear it!
Peace to all in this most blessed of Holiday Seasons.
Cath

Surviving Saturday! LOL

Greetings from Sunny Georgia!
Well, it has been a roller coaster week. My mother-in-law has been in the hospital with a touch of pneumonia but reacted poorly to the medications. So we have been doing the run to the hospital trick since Monday. I will be relieved and happy to bring her home today.
So needless to say, not much art inspiration this week! Hopefully getting her home will make my pea brain realize my ducks are all in a row and I can get some work done on the creative side. I look forward to that!
Have a a glorious weekend. Remember to take the time to tell those you love that you do! Life is so precious!
Blessings to all, Cath

Saturday's Musings

Greetings All!
Hope your Thanksgiving was a success. We had a wonderful time visiting and of course eating. So many things to be thankful for in our lives. I slept like a rock that night. LOL
Ebay is slower than watching barbed wire rust these days so I am trying to get new listings completed for my Etsy shop. There is a link on this blog to get there.
We are all still praying for a few days of rain here in Georgia to help with the drought. It may get quite serious soon if we don't fill those reservoirs. I can't imagine in this day and time not turning on the faucet to get water!!!!
Not much new on this end. Trying to complete some started projects, maybe today I can get that done. Procrastination seems to be my middle name lately. Hehehe
Have a wonderful weekend and remember those you love.
Peace,
Cath

Thanksgiving Week

Greetings All,
Now it is crunch time and I am ready with my grocery list. Seems it grows a bit every year about this time. I love to cook so I always look forward to Thanksgiving. It is such a wonderful Holiday! The best part to me is the fact that it is all about being thankful. It is the time of year when we can catch up with family and friends and just enjoy being together.
Of course, we also love turkey! And I have been making the same cornbread sausage dressing for over 25 years now. Guess one would consider that a tradition now. LOL
So now it is off to put the finishing touches on the list and see what other project needs doing.
Remember to tell those you love how thankful you are for them. Kindness is free, so give it away!
I wish you all a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Monday again?

Greetings Faithful Bloggers,
Well, this morning started out with a bang. As some of you know, I was an administrator who wrote curriculum for a preschool until my recent retirement. So I was on the call list for the alarm system at the school. You got it, 5:45 a.m., the phone rang and by the time I found it (lol), it had quit. Then my cell phone went off like gang busters and I did find it in time. The alarm monitoring company still had me as first contact on their list. Yikes! I left in July. Go figure. Needless to say I was wide awake then and the day went downhill.
But all is well now. Again, never a dull moment in this household. I hold my breath to see what tomorrow brings. Hehehee!
Enjoy this fall, winter is around the bend.
Hugs,
Cath
