OK, so you may have noticed..

..I have been kind of 'hit-and-miss' on some of my reading and commenting. Sorry.

Really. I miss you..but my laptop..my new, pretty laptop has a bum-cord.

Yep..not even 6 months old and it's power cord, it's very lifeline, was no more..

But wait..we have {insert a choir of angles singing 'Ahhhhhhhhh'}

...a warranty!

..and all I had to do was to spend about a hour speaking to someone not of my primary language..

 ..and since I speak no other language, besides my own brand of English..I had quite the pain in the ne adventure getting them to understand that "yes, I am most certain it was indeed plugged in..that I did try different outlets..and no, the transformer is not getting warm.."

So I am relegated to the art room where if you asked me 6 months ago if I even wanted a laptop, I would have said, "nah."

Now I can't function without it's warm little-self on me-self.

So, I have been sneaking a peek when I have a break at work..Shhhhhhhh...

But I wanted you to know I haven't become all of a sudden rude or forgetful or ditzy..hmmm..I guess 2 outta 3 ain't bad, huh?

So the umbilical-cord should be here on Thursday and I'll scurry to catch-up..I don't want to miss a word!

In the meantime, here are some sketches I have been playing around with..

When I used to oil paint, if I couldn't quite see what the problem was, but I knew there was a problem, I used to take it off the easel and hold it up to the mirror..and like magic, I could see what was wrong!

Well, I think my scanner is the new mirror 'cos I can see lots of room for improvement :-)

But, hey, isn't that whet life's all about??

What would you love to improve on? Something fun? What's stopping you?

Finding time is hard..

Making YOU a priority is hard..

Believing in your creativity is hard..

Choose your hard. I know what mine will be :-)
