Vanessa from A Fanciful Twist!

Well, that was fun! Vanessa, please email me with your address and I'll get your prize out in the post to you this week.

And thanks to everybody who entered my first ever blog give-away! There were so many of you, I'm really thankful for your interest!

Okay. Back to the real world. Or, at least the world as I live it...which may or may not be totally real.

I did finish up the little tokens for the Circus Token Swap at The Carnival Soiree. I had planned on getting a little fancier, but frankly they're too tiny for me to work very much on. I get into some pretty small things sometimes - but these poker chips are really TINY! Now I just have to get them sent off, and wait for the big day of the carnival!

This morning when I went out to walk Dusty, I discovered this vase full of beautiful flowers on my doorstep! Now, the sunny bright day was enough to get me smiling - but, floral gifts!? - now I'm happy! My dear neighbor, Beverly, had forgotten to stop the mail for the week while she's at her home on the Cape, so the flowers were a bribe for me to pick up her mail while she's gone. I would have done it anyway - but throw flowers into the mix, and I'll WAIT for the postman to bring her mail! Aren't they nice? I love fresh flowers - but have so much STUFF all over the horizontal surfaces, it's hard to find a place to put them. This will do for now ... but they look a little precarious there. Maybe for inspiration in the studio ...

Well, that's it for today. I have to get so much done today ... some of which is such boring and mundane activity that I shudder to even make a list...the kitchen floor, sweep the front landing, replace the batteries in the keyless door lock...and on and on. No, no, no! Don't the fates know that I'm an arteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest????

I do have one final question for all of you. Now that the economy is bad, and money is tight, and we're also all trying to live in a more green fashion, how many of you will follow Joan Blondell's lead and start growing your own clothing?


Okay, okay, okay. That was bad.

Now go make some cool stuff!!
