October again...

Around here, October is a very busy time of the year. Almost everybody has their birthday in the same month! Kids, parents, grand parents, husband, friends... me!
Great opportunity to eat cake every day LOL

Is fall really around the corner?

So what I have been up to lately?
I participated in a local art show. Had my kids' first communions with their respective run-like-crazy-find-the-right-outfit-get-the-party-ready-and-buy-a-pinata rush. Had family visiting from out of the country (too short time though). Managed to hurt a foot so bad, I couldn't do anything but complain for months (poor husband). Spent a fortune on doctors and tests (really poor husband). Took the kids to 194 different kinds of summer lessons (maybe not quite so many, but my foot gave me a different feeling). Got the children's school supplies, got them ready for school and, after a big *sigh* I finally felt a need to draw/paint/create again.
And now they tell me summer is almost gone and fall is coming???

What the heck happened to my summer!?
And more importantly: What the heck happened to my summer!? Oh, never mind. I'm I repeating myself again? ;oD

Lost in space

I lost my password, so I didn't post for a while in this blog. :oP
Silly me ;o)

.... Well, I have been painting, working on the never-ending project of our master bathroom, and also making some dolls. I am loving the dolls!

OH! We also have a new puppy (they should call them poopies!) So I have been busy potty training her.
MmMmmm I wonder if it is called potty training when you are actually training them to go on a news paper?
It's been cold for her to go outside, she is only 2 months old, and also a Chihuahua, I don't really want her to freeze out there.

Anyway, her name is Cookie, and her last name is Crumb. Although, if she keeps eating this way we will have to call her "Cocoa puff" hehehehe

They said it was going to snow today here in California, but in my area rained for a while, then a little of hail and that was it. Pretty cold, but no snow.

I listed a few Art Cards (aceo) tonight:

And if I have some time tomorrow night, I'll post some more. Keep an eye over here :o)

I wonder if there is a way to have my friend's links here or a group, like in other blogs...

Wow, is it mid January already?

OK, so time is flying. We are already thinking on Valentine's day. I am thinking of the chocolates mostly!! hahaha
I opened a shop this weekend! I am so excited. Everyone is invited to take a peek.
The first costumer will get free shipping *anywhere* in the world.

Sold

All this past days I have been running around cutting paper and trying to get some new art cards done. It's so funny, I start painting and pretty soon I have my kids and their friends trying to paint too. It's a wonderful way to keep them entertained and doing something creative!

My son is getting an award for "best artist" in his school. Reminds me of my school days, only that they were not giving kids awards for "that" in those days, but still I was the one girl that would spend all her time drawing.... even in the middle of Science class. :)

Thanks for your time, and Hasta la vista!

Who's up for more food?

OK....
I am still stuffed with all this Christmas dinners, pies, cookies and the rest. I'm glad it's only once a year! hehehehe
I have not had any time to paint and I am starting to get antsy about it, but we have been so busy fixing the bathroom and the children running in the loose. I guess some times you just have to wait.
Was Santa nice to you all? I hope so!
I wish 2006 is a wonderful year for all, full of creativity, health and love.
oh! and money!
