wow, sorry everyone! i seem to be averaging a once a month update. not my intention at all apologies all around. i have however changed my LJ name. i've started a new journal all together, and have already friended most of the people that were on my list. my new LJ is:

hopenathan

you may be asking yourself why? well, that will be my new name, as we have both applied for legal, MATCHING, last names. yippee! we've also retired the old twogirlstudios. that idea just wasn't going to happen. it depended so heavily on BOTH of us being into arts and crafts and to be honest, Chris is never going to be interested enough to make that a career focus. hahaha!! so i am once again a solo gig!

with this new found understanding of the dynamic of our relationship, i am pushing forward with my art career. i am in logo developpment with a graphic designer colleague and getting submittals ready for shows. i'm hoping this will open up the door for lots of travel, as i have mapped out the things that are important to me for the next five years:

more travel / more live music
get the books published
gallery shows / annual fairs
lose weight (ugh)
photography
make a documentary
spoil the neices and nephew

yippee for getting my life in order! so, this will be the last post over here. i hope that you will all add me to your friends list again, this newly motivated chick will definitely be updating more, as there will be lots more to report. take care one and all.....

peace
