Happy New Year!

Sorry for the lack of a photo - I'm typing from my husband's MacBook as my Dell has died once again. The hard drive that was replaced last summer is now dead (I always could tell it was wasn't quite right) and a new one is sitting in the package on the kitchen table. I'm trying to decide if I have enough oomph left after yesterday's battle with the computer to salvage some files to begin from scratch again, from the Operating System on up ... (Definitely going Mac next time!) This is the real reason I've been procrastinating work on the next DVDs, I wasn't sure the computer could handle it...

... anyway ...

Here's wishing a Happy New Year to everyone filled with light, love and happiness!

A Dozen Wise Men

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
These were gifts our family painted for grandparents this Christmas. I don't think they'll be checking the blog before then... Everyone pitched in and it was a much needed creative release for me between my Calculus and Statistics finals (2 finals down, 1 to go!). Andy painted the hay for the cradle and the spots on the cows. Audrey painted the donkeys all by herself, as well as the crowns, and helped on lots of others, and Daddy even did most of the camels!
I wish everyone a very happy holiday surrounded by loved ones.

Alllmooost there...

If my head has been stuck in the proverbial sand (or in a tree as this poor horse found himself - I think the story ended well for him), it's because I'm waist deep in quicksand ..er.. homework. Just finished up the last of my 8 midterms yesterday and now I have one more push to get ready for the 3 finals. I will be so happy to finish Calculus - that's what I'll be working on today. Next up (over the holiday break), editing the next batch of DVDs (that I wanted to have released last spring - yikes!) and some repairs and commissions (one for a friend and the other that was a trade I simply couldn't pass up!). If those all go well, I hope to finish up the Arab from the NAN 2008 auction so that he can go home with someone and a surprise sales piece I've been itching to do for a few years now (where does the time go?). Stay tuned...
