love of the game

(Duke vs University of Oregon game last October)

Something most people don't know about me is that I'm an avid college basketball fan.  I've been going to games since before I could walk.  My love of the game has increased since moving in with my Mom.  She is a diehard fan.  We are hopping on a plane to Vegas Wednesday morning to attend the West Coast Conference Tournament.  We will have the pleasure of seeing our favorite team Gonzaga play as well as other great teams.  GO ZAGS!  

Also, my super awesome cousin, Jen, is putting us up for the week.  Bonus!  I can't wait to see her.

I'm giving Ramsey loads of hugs.  I've never been away from the little guy for more than a few days.  I'll try not to miss him too much.

PS: My Etsy shop will remain open while I'm away.  I'll be checking in during half time.  ;)

taking a break

I will not be re-opening the doors of my shop in Wheeler next month.  After much thought, I've decided to close up for good.  I'm also taking a break from my Etsy shop.  My heart just isn't in it right now.

Recently, my focus has shifted back to fine art.  Last week in art class (see previous post) I fell in love with encaustic.  I had forgotten how much I enjoy getting messy and experimenting with a new technique.  My goal is to create a series inspired by a found photos and keepsakes.

Thank you to those of you who have visited my brick and mortar shop and/or Etsy shop.  I greatly appreciate it!
