7 days and 7 Hours....

Until I can finally come up for air!! This is when Close to my Heart's annual convention in Washington, D.C. will begin and I can finally sit back and enjoy the fruits of my many months of labor!

I need to thank some of you for the lovely words of encouragement...or the emails checking to see where I have been...or checking on me to make sure everything is okay. Yes, everything is great! I have just been one busy, busy girl!

In the last two months I have been swamped with all things CLOSE TO MY HEART! Much to my delight...I was accepted to teach at the upcoming convention. Which means many, many hours and late nights of creating fabulous artwork - I am not allowed to show you! For the second year in a row, I was also invited to donate a piece of artwork for the silent auction which will be held at convention with the proceeds to go to our Operation Smile charity....again many hours of creativity and late nights....I am not allowed to show you. Oh, and let's not forget the entire album I created to submit for the album contest! No rules about not showing this one to you...but I am still keeping this one under wraps! :)

So please accept my apologies for the lack of posting lately. It is not that I haven't created all kinds of goodies...I am just not allowed to show you!! I appriciate all the love and concern which has come my way lately! And I thank you so much for hanging in here with me! I promise your commiment will be well rewarded very, very soon! I will be coming back from convention in 12 days just busting will all kinds of new ideas....artwork....a new catalog....and an OPEN CALENDAR with all kinds of time to be able to share it all!!
