Here I am with no art posted in months and it's already November! Where'd the time go?! Well, just a little update, I haven't forgotten about you all, and I WILL eventually get new art posted. My art supplies are only half unpacked, that being the watercolors and a few sheets of paper. I've got new paintings in the works but have had to take a break for now with work and holidays coming. I've also begun a new venture in my life, going back to school. I finally found an online Teacher Certification program that meets what I want to do and will stay within my meager budget! Just waiting for transcripts and financial aid information to go through and hopefully I'll be able to start in December, or at the latest January. I can't wait! I'm ready to be prepared to enter a classroom again and be a "real" teacher! Another thing that has taken ALL my spare time are [link] which I share with my friend Heather and [link] which is all my own and which I also don't update nearly enough. I do lots of projects and then forget to document or post about them. Currently, with Christmas coming up, I'm working frantically on gifts. We all needed new stockings, and since hubby and I recently adopted a rescue shelter dog, he needs a stocking too! We're the pathetic people who treat their pets like their children cause we have no children of our own. Anyway, hope you're all doing great! I've been keeping an eye on all your galleries and I'm very excited and inspired by what you are all doing! Keep up the great work!
