OOps I forgot to update my blog!!

Oh Hello! I am still here! Posted this today:



I am not feeling very witty tonight. As a matter of fact, I have found the whole blog-posting thing to feel really forced for me. Maybe if I tell a silly secret I will loosen up and feel a little more natural... Here goes;

I exercise by watching Herclues on Netflix and doing all the fighting moves they are doing throught the show. I wish I would have thought of this exercise routine before I watched all of the Xenas, but Hercules seems to be pretty much exactly like Xena, so I think I will like it. :)

OK, I think that helped. I will blog more often, and then I will feel more comfortable writing. Perhaps I will tell a story next time.

Me, the library, and Womans Day

I am in this months issue of Womans Day! Just my name, and a mention of my essay published at womansday.com, but I am in there. MY name. Me. Womans Day!

The essay was written about my local library. (The Almond 20th Century Club Library! in Almond, NY) I love it there. I volunteer there occasionally, and have found myself committed to the next 40 years of running the annual rummage sale. Fine with me. The people in this community are so special, and doing the rummage sale allows me the opportunity to get to know them a bit more. :)

so, here is a link to the essay
my essay is the last one, at the bottom of the page "Fix it For Free"

I promise I won't let the fact that I am a PUBLISHED AUTHOR go to my head... Well, maybe just for today. Or just until the next issue is on the stands and mine is gone. Until then, I will be the crazy lady at the front of the store making you see my name on page 20 of March 2010 Womans Day issue!!!

WOOHOOO!!!!!!

Busy Busy Busy!

Ok, I have been working on some purses for the local shop I sell in, The Lost Lake Gallery in Dansville, NY. I also just completed a custom order for my friend Libby from Maylees Garden soaps
My family has gone crazy for her soap, and I am afraid we can no longer live without it. This is the first winter I have spent in NY with happy skin, and I am convinced it is because we switched to this natural soap.
Here is her bag!:

It is mid-winter break here in a couple of weeks, and I know I will get very little done during that time, so I am trying to work work work and get caught up before then! So, back to work!
