Wow, it's been a long, long time since I updated. I should be lucky that my friends didn't get bored with me and leave!! :^) So sorry to the four or five of you! LOL

The last month was the rotted disquisting icing on top of a molded old cake. Loss, pain, fear, crash. I will not bore you with the details here, if you are super interested, email me. 2005 was NOT my year, but 2006 will be! I am about to reach Blythe equilibrium with five girls and a good sized wardrobe. I finally got a cheapy button maker so I can try my hand at it. (thanks honey!) I have started the process of decluttering my life and my mind. I think I have enough materials that I can actually "set up shop" so to speak, and will be purchasing my domain this weekend. YIPPEE!!

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that I have added as a friend. You are there because you truly INSPIRE me. Your work has made me FEEL and smile and reflect. You show me that I can do this, that I can have faith in my creative abilities. It reminds me that I am an artist and there are people in this life that will enjoy what I do. My creative confidence is very shaky, I'm very afraid of rejection/ridicule. I am my worst critic, and I am comfortable with that. Thank you for putting yourselves out there, you gave me the strength to do the same.
