Alright, alright… I guess its about time to get back to reality. I’ve been back from my trip for a few days now, but half of me has been kicking and screaming as I dragged myself back to life and the regular routine. I’ll be applying for at least one primitive craft show this fall, plus I have the art show in October. So I guess its about time I get to work. Real focused work. Keyword: Focused. ha. But (I know, there’s always a BUT, But I can’t help it! LOL) I still have a mess to clean up in my craft room… one of my darn shelves decided to drop dead while I was away, so now I have stacks of loose paperwork and books ALLLL over my floor! Yeah, its still sitting there days later, its holding me back, haunting me away from the craft room. I must get my butt in there today!
Anywho, my trip to Savannah was great. There were supposed to be a large group of gals going, but we were dropping like flies since day one of planning the trip. In the end, it turned out to be just me and two other gals (oh, and a paper doll!). But I couldn’t ask for two better buds to go with. We had a blast! :)

My hubby Dan and I decided to run away for the weekend, so we hopped on a train (after much bargaining with his mother to babysit of course! lol) and headed out. We arrived in Grand Central Station Friday evening.

We took a stroll in nearby Bryant Park, went out to eat, then slept in till about noon the next day! OH did it feel good to sleep in! I haven’t done that in years!




Saturday we just wandered about, shopping, eating, and playing in Central Park. It was nice to not have any set plans, and just do whatever we felt like doing!




That night we went to visit Times Square of course. You can’t visit NY and not go to Times Square at night! Its almost daylight bright out with all the flashing lights and signs, its amazing to see.



I got my picture taken with hello Kitty! But of course I got caught licking my lips instead of smiling! lol Oh well. She was so cute, it was a little Japanese woman and she made me make a piece sign with my fingers! he he

M&M world is HUGE! They have a three story store, with anything you can think of with the M&M logo on it!


We ended our night at this cute little place. It was very cozy and they had live jazz! We enjoyed the show while eating a huge slice of NY cheese cake. Mmmmmmm
It was so nice to be able to run away for a bit. It was a very restful weekend for my mind, but very tiring on my legs! My oldest daughter was a bit jealous because she wanted to see NY, she’s never been yet. I hope to take her this fall maybe. I can’t wait to go back! he he

We just returned from a one week vacation, and already I feel like I need a vacation! lol Bringing a one year old to stay at a lake house with no yard, and nothing to do within the area is not very relaxing! I should have known better… but we did have a couple nice days to bring the boat out. She behaved surprisingly well on the boat, and had a blast at the sandbar beach we stopped at.


I brought my art journal hoping to get some sketches done, or just play around a bit; but with the little one tugging at my leg every five seconds, I was only able to work on one page. It came out pretty well considering I used my small camera screen to view the reference photo.

This is a drawing of my oldest daughter. She’s turning 8 next month!
