Home and Garden Show

I've been a busy bee preparing for the first show of 2010!

I'm participating in Arts Alive, the Wichita Falls, TX Home and Garden show.  Last year's show drew 200,000 people!  I'm all set up and ready to sell it all - I don't want to bring anything home except cash!  LOL

Just thought I'd pop in and let you know what I was up to.  If I get a chance to wander tomorrow, I'll share pictures :)

Ceramic cross and Scrabble (R) pendants

I've been working hard in the studio getting ready for the Wichita Falls Home and Garden show this weekend!

Post 101: a shout out to the single parents

I passed my 100th post!  I wondered if I would make it to 100, wondered if I had the staying power to keep it up!

This is a bad week to ask myself these questions!  My husband has been traveling for business, so I've been single-parenting and homeschooling, while trying to keep up wiht the rest of the world.  I'm not even gonna talk about the housework - that's too much!

So y 101st post is a tribute to all you single parents who make it work, never get to have time to yourself (not even in the bathroom!), are "on" 24-7-365 with no time to just "be".  You are amazing!  If I could grant each of you 12 hours of babysitting a day at the spa and a housekeeper, I sure would!

Have a great weekend,
Noel

My hubby's memorial tattoo

We designed this with Ian's 3 month old footprints.  It is just about actual size.
