It may not be very exciting to many of you
but to me
I love that I made page 108 this month
And that I had to use my "teeth" to rip open the package when I saw the words beneath the plastic
One of my most favorite magazines
She had asked me to send a few pieces in months ago
And page 108 made me smile really big today
Thanks for letting me share
And continuing to support the "little artist in me"

It's Spring.
a perfect day to update my blog, my website, my laundry room. What else would one be doing on a Spring Day.
It's so stinking blustery out and I've been fighting a super fun cold so I thought "Spring Cleaning" indoors.
This whole working part time now has made me a wee bit more scattered so trying to acomplish anything worthy of a finished project has been, let's say,
difficult.
I don't know how those "stay at home Mom's" do it. There jobs are hard.
I said "jobs"
Because that is just what it is. Just because it's not the same monthly dollar pay, it's such a different job and I am finding out, structuring a day is my most difficult challenge.
So Updating is what I am calling my Spring Day. As I cough through it all.
Life has a funny way of "updating" it all for us. And not allowing us to "update" it the way we think it all should work out. I'm learning to allow things to "be as they are suppose to be" and am actually learning to love it". Reading between those lines, letting go of all the control I use to have in my past life. Not an easy task, but it's growing on me. Letting go of those in the sandbox who can't play nice and surrounding myself with a world of fun, and creative energy.
Updating.
That also has including my "work space". Tearing out walls that were "in the way".
Even got Mr. Souers to hang a "ceiling tin" wall....
Useless. Not of function. Getting in the way. Creating a space that is creative and fun and less distracting. Finally finishing the ENTIRE painting of the floor black. That only took a few years.
And getting rid of clutter that I have never had the time to do. (it will be a GREAT spring GARAGE sale you junker/hoarders won't want to miss...).
And feeling like I can really make "great coffee now" and not feel like a schmuck when I put on my green apron at work. (it only took 5 months)....
So updating on a cold Spring Day... working on a digital catelog because my PDF looks like crap. I finally realized my 3g iphone which I mourn the loss over really did "take crappy pictures" when I couldn't get a good picture of "Chumley" of Pawn Stars 150ft away at the Mountain West Championship Game in Vegas for my mother in law, I broke down and got the 4gs... the camera rocks....
But at least I got these great photos of My Mr. Souers and my Father in Law when his New Mexico Lobo's won the Mountain West Championship to make it into the NCAA tournament...
And updating my website for a section just for my wholesale accounts (when I can truly figure all that out) and just a section for retail, and one of a kinds. And letting you all know when and where I will be locally selling to get in on the goods....
I look forward to Spring and all that it holds.
My Auntie Beth's Buttercups always lets me know it's so close. And that something fresh is always on the horizon.
