Going Away Party!

Wow! It's been almost a month since my last post! First of all I would like to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement and prayers for my mother. She is doing very well and working hard to get that knee back in working order.
The other reason I've been away so long is because we've been working away at helping this good looking guy, our son Eric, get packed and ready to leave for Spain. He left on Tuesday and arrived safely in Madrid and is on the hunt for an apartment. You can watch his journey for the next 9 months on his blog "Shuffle the Cards". I believe this title was the name of the painting on his blog that was done by a famous artist in the part of Spain where he will be teaching.
I'm wayyyyyyyy behind on painting but hope to get back to work soon as my mother heals. Can't wait to pick up a brush!

  4. You were very missed in blogland. Glad to hear your mom is doing well, it takes time doesn't it. I got tired of not doing so today, my mom was sponging my card series today, reluctantly but doing it. I too miss picking up my craft daily, so I'll be including my reluctant partner from now on. My mom suffers from dementia so it's a constant questioning of why do I need to do this? and then again in 5sec. after I ask her so ... Lokking forward to seeing your next cupcake.
