Don't Mess with the Art Queen!

Happy Wednesday!  I've been busy getting ready for Art & Soul and am getting more and more excited every day!!  I'm making little gifties that I'll put in all my students' goodie bags.  teehee!  Hubby is off playing golf...it's actually sunny and gorgeous here, tho my feet are freezing, as usual.  Along with all my fun goodies and gifties, trades and collage sheets....I've been creating some new button designs!  There's one a few posts down that's round....like this one.  These are two of my new designs.  Don't mess with the Art Queen is perfect for those of us who encounter that sad, rare individual who likes to try...(unsuccessfully, I might add), to take the fun out of art. :P

Last night was "Wine" bunko.  I'm very fortunate to live in a culdesac full of friends.  We've lived in our house for almost 5 years now and I swear, as families start growing and people consider moving, there have been so many times that they won't because they refuse to leave our little haven.  I have some awesome women friends here and we get together once a month for bunko.  Everyone brings a bottle of wine for themselves or a pitcher of margaritas...:)  We roll dice, laugh, gossip, share our troubles, successes, kid worries...you name it.  It's wonderful for me as I'm a homebody, usually in my jammies, that I can feel completely safe with these women.  We're actually going away for a girls weekend in April to Sun River...a fun little resort town.  Today at 4:15pm we're all meeting across the street to watch the Passion of Christ as none of us have seen it yet and none of us want to watch it alone.  I think maybe I won't wear my jammies....might just get dressed.  I've got a ton to do before then, so off I go!  oxox

How I have always LONGED for something like this.... a special "neighborhood" friendship ring! Althought I live in a lovely neighborhood lined with blossoming cherry trees...I have a rental on one side that is (or was-they just moved out) filled with pesky teenagers, and the new neighbors in the beatiful colonial on the other side are yuppie wanna-be's with a young child that replicates dennis the menace to a tee! Consider yourself truly blessed. Trac,, I LOVE your new button designs! They are PERFECT!!! HUGS AND KISSES, Stacie (Gosh i miss you!)

Tracy, your neighborhood sounds wonderful, so connected, something I think many women crave from their women friends (connectedness), I guess that's why we blog huh. Have a wonderful afternoon and take along a kleenex box, [you'll need it].

You are so lucky to have great women neighbors and not desperate housewives!
