Do you see me?
In the midst of all the blogging and art, did I neglect to tell you I have a "real" job? My husband and I own a construction company. And, as happens sometimes when you're the boss, you need to step in, when needed. There are some changes at work that have happened where I will need to be in the office quite a bit more. As I get organized and see what's up I'll know better what's in store. So...for now, I will be posting a bit less. But I will still visit you and post when I can. And continue to create for American Harvest.
So I go from crowns to hard hats, crepe paper to contracts, and sheet music to sheet metal. Oh, wait a second... I already used the sheet music thing in the title. Let's see...how about millinery flowers to mill work? Yep, that'll do.
What...you thought I'd leave without being a wise guy??
Thinking of you!

I've always loved that 1932 photograph, you can get it as an absolutely huge print which I'm sure would look wonderful in a coffee bar or somesuch place, have to say you've had a lot of fun with it.

Donna,
Can i just say; "I love you...or most defineitly your sense of humor...it puts a smile on my face to hear your humor. "When your a mother of three very young children, well you get uptight and somtimes stressed...ahhhh you wipe it all away, when i come here!!"
"I hope, i can make you smile too!!"
Hope you have "steel" of a good time..LOL!!
Hugs,
Jeannene

Well, Donna I am going to miss you
but a woman has to do what she has to do. You put on the cute little hat, or should a say crown and do your magic. I read your comment about my crown frame amazing! Do you
know the history about them?

We have always wanted to join a party sitting on a metal beam suspended high in the sky wearing brightly colored crepe paper hats- we are so there!
Came to you through French Garden House (btw-we offered to share white chocolate with you as well!) Hope you still get to make your witty posts and comments amongst your busy schedule! We hate to come in at the tail end and miss it all!
Wonderful post- but we are now fighting over who get to wear which pompom hat!
blessings,
kari & kijsa

So you're having to go from crowns to crown molding? From blue skies to blue prints? From heads to headers? From joy to joists? From glitter to gutters? From sun beams to support beams? From glue gun to nail gun? From the Beatles to battles? From Johnny to johns? From witches to wrenches? ......shall I continue? (I'm on a roll - I'm a wise guy too :))
I hope things get sorted soon...it won't be the same without you.
XOXOXO

We're the first to realize that sometimes the real world has to be dealt with.I will miss your witty comments as they bring laughter after a day in the trenches(I mean this estate I'm doing).
I know that you are just telling us this as you escape with Johnny on some tryst to an exotic island in the Pacific!Have fun and don't forget the sunscreen. xo Susan

wise guy and a brilliant one at that!
Hope you get everything in order.
I know you are busy and I know you would never forget me at Christmas... but you will need to send my gift early to avoid the rush. My birthday is after Christmas and Valentines is after that. If it will help you save time you can send all three gifts at once.
