The "D" List and More......

I made the "D" list....the "D" list you ask......

As I do most mornings I was reviewing my blog and website stats reports....there seemed to be tons of referrals from one blog in particular....so I had to check it out.  Sharon B's In a Minute Ago is a wonderful blog I found because she listed me in her "D" list today.  She is releasing a letter every couple weeks of some of her favorite blogs.  In a Minute Ago is a blog of online resources which relate to contemporary and historical textiles, embroidery and needlework, quilting and crazy quilting, fiber arts, paper, book arts and visual journals....and so much more.  I am looking forward to seeing more of what Sharon has to offer.

Steve and I decided to head out mid-morning for bunch and run a few errands....a stop at Artisans for a few Golden paints and supplies that I was running low on.....then before heading home we made a stop at Monkey Love....I know...I have mentioned Monkey Love many time....I just love the name....and it is such a fun place to visit.  Britt and I finalized the details for the exhibit and reception and we both left with a Banana Pudding Shake!  I wanted to go on over to the beach but I kept looking at that bag of paints and the paints won out....I think Steve was glad....he was ready to head home.....he said he thought he heard the sofa calling his name!  So I gave in after a promise that tomorrow no matter what we will spend a few hours enjoying the sun and sand.

I can not even begin to thank all of you that have taken time to leave a comment in the Let the Party Begin post.....it is filled with Birthday wishes, but most of all it is filled with words of gratitude.  We all have so many things to be thankful for and I am enjoying reading your comments and hope others will take time to read them too.

I leave you with Signs of Spring here in Southeast Georgia......

Playing Favorites

Seth over at The Altered Page featured a couple of my collages with a little history on the pieces in his Playing Favorites - Word to the Wise.  If you have not visited The Altered Page hop on over and see some great art and amazing stories behind the art.  I have found some great artists to visit and bet you will too.  I found Seth when he visited my blog during the OWOH event and love to visit....always a treat!

Lots going on....trying to finish the 3rd piece I want to include in the exhibit this coming weekend and am waiting on a huge order from the one and only Mr. Dick Blick....then I will be working on pieces for the solo exhibit at Monkey Love for the month of May.  I also have something new in the works that I want to share, but timing is everything....so I am sitting here with closed lips on it for now....but the wait won't be much longer.

Congratulations to our best friends back in Arkansas....Tommie and George are proud first time new grandparents.....Colton Lane was born last night late to Jared and Melissa and all are doing well.  We can't wait to see pictures.

I think I hear the UPS truck outside....I'm off to play!
