holy moley....

...i'd ask where time went, but i know where it went when i look at Story! our puppy is now a whopping 9 months old, jim finished chemo in mid march & he is all clear now!! he is dealing with some nerve damage in his hands and feet and still going back and forth with his oncologist to get some sort of help. {i can't help but think it's an annoyance that is better than having a tumor lurking}

i did my round at the doctors and also went for a colonoscopy myself. my mother scared the be-jesus outta me, telling me that my grandmother had a tumor in her colon, way back when. since my mom also had a tumor and a portion removed...i fessed up to my dr. and she said it was best for me to get things checked out, well before i turn 50. poor jordan, she will have this on both sides and have to start this early. anywho, things are fine and i don't need to return for 5 years.

besides work, dog walks and all the normal house things...i FINALLY opened an Etsy store. all crafting is at my kitchen table and i have been busy. haha, so i named the shop 'busygirlart'! it's still new and going into the second month. learning, i am still learning.

funny thing is, i had been taking pics of all the stuff i was making, for posting on here, and i just never cracked open the blog to share. {if you are friends with me on facebook or instagram...then you have seen most of my projects.}

i have spent the better part of this evening, loading some new things onto Etsy so i will share my most recent downloaded photos, with a sampling of mixed media canvases i have just finished. oh, and a few pics of Story!

I'm back!!


i did some winter girls on canvas, so i figured i should maybe try some summer girls. i am also really partial to houses, maybe from my HGTV addiction!
here's our Story...
how can i come home and ignore this face?
