I'm working so hard!  I could cry- I'm so tired!  Deadlines are approaching fast!  I start teaching Monday.  Prepped?  I'll sweat that out this weekend.  Art Prize.... The sculpture will be "installed" Sept 19th.  Less than a month.  Now factor in school starting up for the youngins', the whole college bit, a bathroom re-model that had to happen..... and...all the things I have to get done....school bus schedules...daycare changes... hot lunch forms.... and you'll see why there have been no posts from me!  Please hang in there....I don't mean to neglect you.....

Remember the doll with the cage on her head?  This is a different version of her as I alluded to in my last post.  This is my entry for the bottle doll challenge- because I am such a good time manager- I don't really need to pay bills or clean my house or raise my children- do I???  So, she is ready to mail off and we will see if ADQ likes her.....I titled her "The Promise Keeper"  as she looks like she's carefully guarding the contents of her bottle.  Good girl!  Don't let too much of that stuff out at once!

A few family reunions   with a few too many pictures taken.... A little surf and sand and a husband who says "Back up...I'll get the bay in the background."   Hmmm ... looks like we're in the background and those flip flops are are pretty much the focal point of this picture.  No wonder I'm always behind the lens! Did I mention- ANYTHING TO KEEP THESE TWO BUSY???? There's been some art.... And then there's this lady.  This is the final on her face- because if I don't get this done.... Their gonna lock me away in the funny house! Oh yeah, because I just don't have enough going on.... Remember this?  The birdcage never quite made it on this lady's head but.....I did not throw it out.  Actually I lost it and finally found it un...
