Such encouragement - I sold 150 Christmas Cards!!

Hi All!!,
I have been nearly missing in action here. Taking care of my “responsibilites” at RB, but life has soooo gotten in the way of art. Or I have let it…

As you may know, I moved 5 months ago from California to Colorado which was just what the doctor ordered after my husband had out-of-nowhere triply bypass surgery on his heart.See Heart Dance. Well, moving is alot of work and setting up home is fun and creative and then my 12 year old has been struggling at schoool, and I am rebuilding my private practice. Oh!!!!You get the picture – Life has trumped art , which has made me the proverbial “frustrated artist”.

So finally today, I was determined to create… and Art Won!!! Spent 3 hours working on a new piece, then sat in front of my email to see I sold 150 Christmas Cards!! ( on Zazzle, sorry RB). The timing was perfect!! Such validation – I am too an artist!!!

Great to be back. Praying, Art continues to triumph!!

Thanks for listening and sharing my bit o’ joy!!

Leslie
