i was framed!
i was sorting through some papers the other day when i found these two fantastic prints that i had ordered almost 2 years ago from betsy thompson. and then i got three swallowfield prints for mother’s day…prints i’ve been admiring for 2-3 years. i love them.
i think i want to start a tradition: give mom art for mother’s day. it’s easy on the kids when they get older & it’s something i love!
anyhow, i ran some errands tonight & forked out a small amount of dough for some frames (that hobby lobby knows how to have a 50% off sale, don’t they?! ten bucks?). and today i visited pekin, IL twice: once with the kids to walmart & the park. the second time to retrieve my wallet that i left in the cart when i visited with the kids in the a.m. thankfully all cards & cash were still in place. phew. praise to the lord! the betsy thompson rediscovery, “no more goodbyes”:
and swallowfield’s “remember spring”
and “i like the trees outside my window”
those are great! i’ve looked at that artist’s page lots of times, with longing.
sure miss you. living in a vortext of family, fatigue, sadness, and driving driving driving up to my grandparents’ place and back. the funeral’s tomorrow, and then maybe life settles down a little. don’t give up on me! i’m thinking of you and looking for an opportunity to surface sometime soon…
