Hope you have fun looking at my creations and other things I love in life.... calligraphy is my passion, but so is my family... consisting of "the love of my life", my hubby, and my three miniature long haired dachshunds. You'll see lots of them here. Loved this quote: There’s something sacred about reading a blog post on someone else’s site. It’s like visiting a friend’s house for a quick meal ’round the breakfast table. It’s personal—you’re in their space, and the environment is uniquely suited for idea exchange and uninterrupted conversation. In many ways, we should be treating our blogs like our breakfast tables. Be welcoming & gracious when you host, and kind & respectful when visiting.” – Trent Walton

The Fires have cleared, finally!

It only took three weeks, but I am now back to feeling normal again!  The smoke in the air really affected my breathing and I had to increase or start on some more meds just to be able to breathe normally.  Luckily, I was under the doctor's care and had lots of support, but am happy to say that I eluded Club Med all together this time around....

In the meantime, I have been busy as ever with a BUNCH of envelopes.. and even a BUNCH more than I had anticipated.  Originally, I had a job that was supposed to be 200 envelopes and when I finally got them from the bride, there were double NEEDING to be done in the same allotted amount of time.  Why is it that I am always seeming to be jumping through flaming hoops?  I guess it's just in my nature and am happy that I can succeed, gracefully?, under pressure. I hope!

I haven't had too much time to "play" in the studio, but have managed to get a couple of birthday cards out in between breaks from being smothered in envelopes...

I still love doing the flourishing that I learned at IAMPETH and Heather, my teacher and mentor, has been so gracious is lending support and feedback so I can hone my skills.  She is a wonderful person and so helpful to everyone who seeks her encouragement and guidance.   Here are a couple of things that I made recently! Wish I had more to show....
