whew...i am sure everyone has thought i fell off the face of the earth....but i am still around. lots of crazy things have happened since i posted last, but all for the good! if you have ever wondered why i have the title "the pursuit of happiness"...well....my absence just explains this... i had to evaluate my life...my status as a wife, mother, daughter, and friend. i have had enormous ups and downs, but i think i have it all figured out! if you have commented to me and i never replied....i am truly sorry. The computer has pretty much been last on my list lately. Its a crazy busy world out there and i have had to adjust myself in order to function. Yes, i have missed my blog friends...but this whole blog thing gets my head a whirling and i get all these creative ideas that i take a spin from and before ya know it i have 100 items on my to do list...as if my own creative mind isn't torture enough!!!! As you can see...i have been busy w quite a few projects...so eventually they may make there debut on here....until then!

Wow - good to see that you're back! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your creative projects!

FINALLY !!! ...LOL
Wow, I did wonder if I would ever get to savor anymore of your posts!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming back!
I'm sure that most of us can relate to your absence and also to "finding yourself".
Sometimes the mind can overload on thoughts of creativity ... I'm constantly trying to slow my creative thoughts so that I can focus on a project from start to finish. I have learned to write down my new thoughts on paper (with quick drawings, too) so that I won't forget them. And I found this helps me release the thought from my brain ... LOL
And you also needed to step away from the computer to spend time with your family. Sometimes the computer can interfere with family time. It's good to set a schedule of when to use the computer and even though we can't stick to the schedule ...it does help keep some sanity.
LOVE YOUR BLOG!

I'm absolutely mesmerized by your page. I'm so excited that I came across it. I have been struggling with ideas on how to paint my kitchen cabinets and you have absolutely inspired me! I love the cabinet with the raised stencil and i love the kitchen island with the beautiful legs. I hope i can get it right, are you willing to give a little advice on paint products to use?
either way I'm spinning with creativity!:)
