I have not yet made it back to this site but I have been busy doing some art–taking several online classes–and have even acquired a second grandchild in the last couple of weeks!  Don’t give up hope on me.  I will be back and I will start posting more regularly.  I’ve been boycotting the home computer the last couple of months and I have been able to get a lot of things done at home and also make some art.  It is difficult to come to this platform when I am on a screen so much at work every day.  Nonetheless, this is important to me and I AM going to make a go of it….I just have to start putting it back in the busy schedule….
