Little Pink Typewriter

  

Hi!  So much has been happening with me on a personal/family level....my oldest daughter graduated from High School, turned 18, finally got her drivers license
(why is it that some kids are chomping at the bit to drive while others have no desire?)
and just today started college.

  My youngest started her 2nd year of HS a couple of weeks ago and is preparing to take her drivers test for her permit.  (It'll be a wonder if I survive this...I'm NOT a good driving instructor.)

It amazes me how fast they grow....and yet, it seems I've had them forever.

My sweet friend Stacie came down to Portland for a visit not too long ago.  It was so fun and something we both needed...just time away from everyday life.  We've already started planning my trip up there.

One of the big challenges that has been at least 2 years in the making is my need and desire to
simplify my life.  I'm a pack rat, a hoarder, treasure hunter and keeper.  I have been working at, fretting over, stressing about my need to part with things in order to function as an artist, Mom, wife and woman!  Through this process, I've found some things easy to part with and most, not so easy....I keep telling myself to keep at it and try not to get distracted.  (ok, I've got ADD...I'm always distracted!)

Well, one of my precious treasures is now up for auction on Ebay.  I bought it a couple of years ago and it's honestly been in it's case ever since.  :(  Something this special must be out and admired....maybe even used occasionally.  

If you know anyone who wants a pink typewriter that types in cursive, please pass along the link!

oxox, tracy

I love your new blog header.. I have 4 daughters and it is funny how each one handled the driving thing differently. My first daughter is married and still doesn't have her license. I guess she likes being chauferred around. My next daughter got her license at 16. A very independent girl.. My next Daughter is 18 and got her license at 17. The last daughter is 16 going on 17 and I don't know what she is waiting for.. I haven't rushed it though.. Something about that freedom and wheels.. I don't know. I don't care about rushing it.. My last 2 are boys are 13 and 10 and believe me they won't wait a min. past 16.. I love your pink typewriter. How fun.. It is hard to part with things but, I do know about simplifying life. I had to do it.. It was out of control. I know your not alone. Good luck and God Bless.

I totally understand where you are coming from. I too am a collecter of things. Cute typewriter... I have my own old typewriter...LOL

[Cindy Ericsson]

I love it! I'm trying to curb the creative chaos here, too, and shouldn't spend the money right now, so I can only wish the winner well with it. Maybe one day...
