that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month?  Well, it IS in case you were confused.  About a week ago, I  added a new badge to my sidebar stating as such…

Breast cancer has special meaning in my life…  My mom is a survivor.  I was actually born AFTER her radical mastectomy…even more shocking was that I was born within that critical 5 year window.  My parents met AFTER mom’s cancer.

All that being said…  Be aware of your “girls”…know your body… something seems odd…get it checked!!
I had my first mammogram at age 26 as a baseline… Nothing to be afraid of. Take charge of your health, of your body…it’s the only one you have!

I will now step down off my soap box and return you to your regularly scheduled programing…thank you and good night.

I thought this was an art blog!!!  For some odd reason, I seem to be making less art than ever lately.
My time seems to be split amongst school volunteering, outside winter prep, my mother’s appts and the dreaded housework, as of late.

I SO need to be creative but the rest of it won’t wait. I’m beginning to get the shakes….

I have been working on some Miniature Terrain, which I have moved off onto a secondary page for those curious enough to venture there. Refer to the page tabs if interested….

The week has just slipped away… Some how I thought when the kids went back to school I’d have a ton of time to devote to art. HMMM…maybe I’m just playing catch-up with all the things I’ve put off for the majority of the summer.

I have worked on our vacation scrapbook a little but since I don’t share photos of my kids on my blog…I’m not going to share the pages….sorry.  I’ve also made a couple of birthday cards and a gift that I will share on Sunday afternoon. I know that the recipient reads my blog so I don’t dare post until then…no peeking! You know who you are!!!
