Post-Art Unraveled

Wow! What a week! Art Unraveled 2008 is officially over. And while I had a lovely time and I did my best to watch my energy levels, I’m exhausted. No surprise after 12 days of friends, art, and shopping! It was well worth the time and energy. I had a lovely time seeing so many [...]

Art Unraveled Day 1

Yesterday was my first class at Art Unraveled. I’m only taking a few classes so I can recuperate between classes and I don’t end up completely exhausted. Yesterday’s class was Two Art Quilts Two with Jane LaFazio. Angie, Joanne and I all took it together, which was a nice surprise! It was a great way [...]

France Travel Journal, Part 3

Here is the third installment of the Paris part of our trip to France. Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea and settle in, since it’s a marathon! But there are actual drawings this time, so art abounds! And we’re off… So, after we got rained on – again – and headed to our [...]

French Travel Journal, Part 2

I’m still post-treatment and having all the side-effects because my body was already stressed from the travel. But I’m still around! here’s the second installment of our travel journal. So, where was I? Oh, yes, we were soaking wet in our red touristy ponchos at the Eiffel Tower… After the soaking wet fiasco at the [...]

Back from France, Part 1

We’re back from our trip to France. It was lovely and busy, and I did well health-wise, I am happy to say! I’m sitting on the couch right now, having just finished my treatment an hour or so ago, so I’m going to give myself a break and tell you that the trip recap will [...]

Final Preparations for France

I can’t believe it’s almost here! Monday we leave for France! I’ve had a mixture of feelings about this trip – anxiety about being in a strange country and with limited knowledge of the language; excitement at the idea of seeing France; trepidation about the flight, since I don’t know how it will affect my [...]

Post-treatment update; CreativeTherapy

Well, as usual, I’m completely wiped out from treatment. I woke this morning groggy, but I felt good for about an hour and a half. Then the fatigue smacked me down. So, here I sit, in front of the TV on the den couch with my MacBook. Yesterday I was ok for a short time [...]

Countdown to France

We’ve officially reached the 10-day countdown to our trip! Woo! So, right now I’m at home getting my monthly IV my treatment so I can be “ready” for the trip with my balance, hopefully, AOK! This week I did the usual running around to get as much done as possible before my treatment, since I [...]

What I’ve been up to

There is really not much to report here. No art to share… The good news is that I’m feeling well. I’m exercising regularly, making sure I’m ready for all the walking we’ll do in France. And, happily, I’m also finally shedding some of the pounds and inches that have been bugging me for a while. [...]

CreativeTherapy and Trip Preparations

Yesterday the latest of the CreativeTherpy Catalysts was published. I participated, so stop over there to take a look at my response to this week’s catalyst, if you haven’t already! It felt so good to draw again and to pick up the watercolor pencils! I’m trying to work ahead on some other catalysts so I [...]
