Busy, Busy , Busy!

Well it has been a very busy couple of weeks! I had 2 sets of company from California, Cindy and Kat from Modesto and Ellen Edith the wonderful wacky artist from Santa Cruz. I had fun with my guests. Ellen's visit was very inspiring....we exchanged art ideas, resources and inspiration. Ellen is such a positive uplifting person despite the challenges she has faced in her life. She is a testament to the fact that we all can overcome our difficulties to live a rich and full life. It is a choice to continue on despite what has happened to us in the past. Every day is a new beginning and we have the ability to choose our own adventure! Hanging out with positive uplifting people enriches our lives. Because of Ellen i am finally going to take that Photoshop course which will make my illustration work much more professional and easy! Hopefully!

I was rejected by the California licensing agent which i was hoping would take me on as a client and on the same day i found out that only one person responded to a rather large newspaper article that the Georgia Straight did on my purses and life. Money is tight and i was really hoping to make a number of sales of my purses. So i allowed myself to be despondant for a day. Now i have to get on with it and decide what to do to make money and continue to follow my passion. I think i will journal and perhaps some clarity will emerge!

Love,
Violette

Jessica's birthday!

Today is my daughter Jessica's birthday! Well we are celebrating her birthday.....her real birthday is on Aug. 11th . She'll be turning 28 years old! So hard to believe......it seems just like yesterday that she popped out with these tiny little milk dots over her nose. I think that my two kids, Jessica and Ryan are my greatest creation! What a blessing to have them in my life!

The backyard is all gaily festooned with flowers, glitter, bows and all manner of birthday celebration glitz....there is even a giant Marlin holding up a happy birthday banner. Jessica's chair is all decorated with a bow, flowers, feathers, beads and even a dolls head in her honour since she likes things to be cute but slightly disturbing! Lol....lol...

I love you Jessy!
