orlando here I come (again!)
I'm on a plane and headed back to Orlando today! This time it's a business trip, I'll be teaching at The Collins Group Show on Saturday for Ranger.
I am so thankful to be headed down to Orlando. This trip really couldn't have come at a better time. My Dad was admitted to the hospital as a result of the rigorous lung cancer treatments he's been undergoing. right now it seems the treatment is worse than the cancer! They are getting him back into shape with pain management, fluids and transfusions. I am so glad I'll be there to be with my Mom, able to visit my Dad, and help out where I can.
I'll be back on Tuesday so see you next week!

more dollhouse project
I'm still having fun playing with my Dollhouse Project. Here's my latest:
You may notice I am using the same cute gal in all the compositions. That's because I have a master plan of creating a graphic novel of sorts with her ... so I am testing out my main character. So far I think she's going to work!
Now to really start developing the story! I bought this book to help loosen up my rusty creative writing muscles. Of course when I bought it I had grand plans of writing each morning for an hour. ha! that hasn't happened yet with all the travel I've been doing. I'll let you know how I like it once I get started.

back from florida
We're back from our little visit to Florida to see family. Maggie had quite the adventurous trip!
First we started with a 14 hour drive from DC to Orlando. Maggie took it all in stride. I am trying to get her to use this new cool bed that we bought so I put it in the car. She used it but just for her head!
At my parent's house she got along great with their cat Boo. Boo even liked Maggie!
There was a visit to my brother and sister in-law's house and Maggie fell in love with our niece's guinea pig Flower. She sat outside Flower's cage for hours!
Mid week we took at trip to St Augustine for our 9th Wedding anniversary. We stayed a B&B that was more kooky/old lady than it was cute and funky. But they always put you in the least cute room if you have a dog. Maggie didn't mind the decor, she thought the bed was snuggly and comfy!
We took Maggie to the beach for her first time! She loved splashing around in the waves and barking at the beach bikes!
Maggie and my Mom on our way out to lunch!
Then our trip was over and another long drive back to DC!

happy anniversary!
Happy 9th Wedding Anniversary to my wonderful husband Paul!
I can't believe it has been nine years already! Thank you for being such a patient, incredible husband and friend. Thank you for taking such good care of me every single day! Without you, I would be living on microwave popcorn and cereal ;)
I love you so much!

our suitcases are packed!
Tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn, Paul and I will be loading up the car along with Maggie doggie for a 14-something hour drive to Orlando FL. Our friend will be here holding down the fort and taking care of the kitties so we won't have to worry about Stan and Mabel!
We'll be spending our trip visiting family and catching up, I haven't been down to Orlando and seen everyone since January. WAY too long!
I'll be updating via Twitter as we travel and while we're away and I'll be back in the studio on Sept 13th! Have a great Labor Day weekend!
