I'VE MISSED EVERYONE & MY BLOGI'm back to blogging again. I hope. :-) I've been out of town more than I've been home. LOL!!<br />
Seems like there's always something I have to do or go running around with my hubby. :-)<br />
He likes to go go go go. I do sometimes but when trips are so close together, I get tired. :-)<br />
<br />
Hope all is well in Blog Land. <br />
<br />
I'm working on a few new dolls and other things. Have had lots of fun running around everywhere BUT NOW IT'S TIME TO CREATE DOLLS & MORE!!! <br />
<br />
Got to see some of our kids, grandkids and family and a couple of friends that live out of town. It was a whirl wind of a trip. We were in Utah more than we were in Vegas. The kids and us had fun.<br />
I sure do miss my kids and friends that live in Vegas. <br />
<br />
Some of our kids and grandkids are coming to see us soon. Looking forward to seeing all of them. <br />
<br />
Just wanted to jump on my Blog before I go watch TV with hubby and our cat Maggie Mae. <br />
<br />
MORE LATER!!! EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!<br />
Luv & Huzs,<br />

P.S. THIS IS "BLU" ROSE. I put her on my facebook profile and lots of people love her and want me to teach an online class of painting her face. They love her lips. I will be working on an online class of her probably next week. I do love this doll even if I do say so myself. :-) After all I did sculpt her face and make her body. :-) You don't see her whole body here. I just posted a full view of her face. </div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I know it's been awhile since I posted to my blog. Lots has been going on in my life some good some not good but all is good right now. Life has to go on no matter what is handed our way. The hardest thing was loosing my brother and it has taken a while to feel better about his passing on. I know he is in a better place with God. I know he wouldn't want me sitting around grieving about him all the time. I know he is with other family members of ours in Heaven and therefore I feel much better about things after his passing away August 13, 2013. He knows he is loved and missed by all his family. </span></strong></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I've posted to several of my list and blog but haven't done much of that lately either. I jump on Facebook and post and jump off. With the Holidays and Family gatherings; I really haven't had a lot of time to think. I also have pulled everything out of both of my studios and am going through stuff. GOT TO GET MY STUDIOS BACK IN WORKING ORDER. :-) I MISS NOT CREATING DOLLS, ETC. Although I have started a few during this time but never have finished any of them. NOW IT'S TIME TO FINISH WHAT I STARTED. :-)</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Just wanted to post and let all know I'm still around and you will be hearing more from me. I PROMISE!! I MISS EVERYONE!!</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I have a new cat also. Her name is Maggie Mae (I named her. We didn't know what her real name was). She answers to Maggie Mae now. She's been a bit of a challenge. She wanted to bite when we first adopted her. I think she knows now how much we love her and she is doing much better about not trying to bite. She's such a sweet cat. She's One & Half years old. I think whom ever had her before she was in the pound must have been mean to her OR she could have been a alley cat. Not sure. The paper work was all messed up and they gave me her (Maggie Mae) instead of the cat I was supposed to have adopted. It's OK because my Maggie Mae was supposed to have been mine or everything wouldn't have happened the way it did. Now she has a nice safe loving family that gives her lots of attention. She is a sweetheart but she still has her moments of wanting to bite sometimes. Mostly if she's playing with us is when she wants to bite. LOL LOL Better laugh than cry. Took her to the vet for her last shot until next year. She does really well at the vets. She DOES NOT like being in her cage when we take her to the vet. I don't blame her, I wouldn't either. </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Back to getting both of my studios in order. Hope to finish them this week. I MISS CREATING, ETC ETC. </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">HAVE A CREATIVE DAY,</span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Sorry I have not been posting on my blog lately. Seems life gets in the way from time to time and stops me from posting and creating. I have been on Facebook some but not a lot. Have to get back to everything. :-)</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I do have several new dolls started (they have been started for sometime now; just waiting to be finished). My Studios are turned upside down. What a mess I made. Now it's time to get back to doing what I LOVE....CREATING DOLLS & ART. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to let all know that I have not dropped off the face of the earth. I have just been busy with family, etc etc etc. The death of my brother Frank really made me so sad and not want to do lots of things I used to do. I know he wouldn't want me to just stop doing the things I love to do. Life does go on and I am going back to Creating Dolls, Etc. Frank will be in my heart forever. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Everyone Do What Makes You Happy!! Life Is Too Short!! </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I HAVE LOTS OF CREATING TO DO. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">We have our Christmas Tree up and I have it decorated. The train sets are under the tree and sitting around in the living room waiting for my hubby to finish setting them up. Suppose to finish sitting them up tonight. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Got a new cat. Her name is Maggie Mae. She's a Tabby and she's wasn't too sure of us for awhile. She wanted to bite us. We adopted her from Pet Smart (which the cats came from the local shelter). She has warmed up to us and is a good kitty now. Not sure about her back ground of where she came from and how she was treated. She's a cutie! She took over the middle bottom of my computer armoire. She has her blanket in there and she loves it. She has the run of the house. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Just wanted to let all know I'm still around and you will be hearing from me a lot more now. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Life Is Good!!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Just got home from our full week (not counting the 2 days of traveling to and from the Island) vacation in Maui. We had lots and lots of fun. What a beautiful island. The flight was 8hrs to and from Maui. BUT IT WAS WONDERFUL!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's good to be home. Now back to my creating. I think this vacation was just what I needed to get my muse flowing again. Already started on a new doll. :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We took lots of pictures. My hubby will be downloading them soon and I will add some pics of our trip soon. </div>

He died from Prion Protein which is very rare with no cure. He lived in Leitchfield, Ky with his wife and 2 children. Leitchfield is my home town. I live in Texas. My husband Ken and I went to Ky for my brother's funeral. We just returned home a couple of days ago. <br />
<br />
I wanted to post to let everyone know why I have not been on the computer lately. I will be back posting in awhile. For now I need some down time. I will start designing and creating dolls again soon. I have been away from home since I taught at All Dolls Are Art in late July. Just returned home 2 days ago. We did some traveling to PA, DEL and LAS VEGAS. I got the phone call about my brother passing away the night before I was returning home from Vegas. My husband and I got on a plane the next day after I returned home for Kentucky. I spoke with my sister in law Patty twice a day while my brother was in Grayson Manor. I got to talk to him also but he could not speak good and then he couldn't speak at all. He is in a better place with God. <br />
<br />
Luv & Hugs<br />

Going to be teaching at All Dolls Are Art Conference.<br />
Looking forward to the conference as always. It's a great fun conference. The hotel even has a Starbucks in it. LOL LOL!!!<br />
<br />
I still have a lot of packing to do. Just wanted to let everyone know I won't be online while I'm away.<br />
Got to run out and buy a few things I need before I leave. I'm sure there will be something or things I will forget. LOL LOL!! Got lots on my mind these days. Just talked to my sister in law as I do everyday. My brother is doing the same. She talks to him all the time in hopes he knows it's her <br />
talking to him. She spends most of her days there with him. She puts the phone to his ear so I can say hello and love him. We will stay in touch with each other while I'm away. I will call her between or after my class each day while at the conference. She won't call me while I'm at the conference unless something happens to my brother. I'm praying that she doesn't call me because if I get a call from her I will know it won't be good. Sending lots of prayers and thoughts for my brother.<br />
I pray he gets his Miracle he needs. My heart is breaking that this has happened to him and nothing any doctor can do. I know God and the Angels are watching over him. Still praying for a Miracle for him. <br />
<br />
Will post all about the conference when I get back home. <br />
<br />Everyone have a creative week.<br />
Hugs,<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My brother Frank is in bad shape with Prion Protien. He is decling more everday. He was in UK Lexington, KY hospital. They have done all they can do. Prion can not be cured. He is decling fast. He is in Grayson Manor in Leitchfield, KY our home town. They are taking really good care of him. He's not in any pain. I don't live in KY so I have not seen him since this happened. I have and do talk to him on the phone. His wife Patty put the phone to his ear and told him it's your sister Frances. She told him to say Hi. He did but it was very very weak. I did talk to him and told him I love him. I've been on the phone everyday since this has happened. The doctors said, 1-2 people out of 6 million get Prion. No known cure for it. It is a fast death the doctors say. He's not in any pain. He sleeps a lot and they are putting a feeding tube in his stomach today. Praying for a Miracle for him. Miracle is what it's going to take to pull him out of this. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is why I'm not on too much lately. I jump on facebook to read what my niece post about him. I call everyday and Patty calls me everyday. Spoke with her last night and will talk with her today etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have A Great Day,</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We are going over to our son's house tonight for supper and fireworks. We tape the Fourth Of July Firework display in New York. </span><span style="font-size: large;">We will watch that later tonight or tomorrow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not feeling much like celebrating. My brother is still in the UK Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. It's not good BUT STILL PRAYING AND HOPEING FOR A MIRCALE. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Desiree wanted her photo put on again. It's been awhile since she has had her picture on my blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You know how these dolls can be. LOL!! Just a little bit of humor. :-) She's one of my little lady dolls. I have to make more of them. They are soooooo much fun to create. She's the same doll I'm teaching at All Doll Art in Austin EXCEPT the one I'm teaching is dressed different. All my students will dress their dolls different. Just the bodies will be the same size, etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Got several men in our back yard taking the old wooden fence down. We have 3 neighbors and ourselves that have to pay for it. Weird the way developments work. It will be nice when it's finished. GEEEEEEZZZ we will see our neighbors back yards now. And they will see ours. LOL LOL LOL!!! It's like houses used to be when I lived and grew up in Kentucky. We didn't have fences around us. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">NOPE! Didn't go to Weight Watchers today. Didn't want to. I just know I put some weight back on after loosing it. I refuse to get on my scales to see. Will just wait until next Tuesday to weigh in. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have to go for my yearly blood work on Friday. Not looking forward to that. I hate needles!!! Then July 5th the follow up to have the doctor give me the results. That's my daughter Brandi's birthday. Good Day! Hope the results are good. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been working on stuff for All Dolls Are Art Conference. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Been one of those days when I can't find what I'm looking for.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lots done but still lots to do. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have more art items than any one person should have. LOL! What makes me think I NEED a Michael's, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's or Hancock Fabric fix. ROL!!! I have a store right here in my 2 studios I can go shopping in. BUT! Sometimes I don't have what I need and I HAVE to go shopping for more. SOMETIMES WE NEED MORE ART STUFF RATHER WE DO OR NOT! I really miss my Garage Studio that I had in Las Vegas, NV. Didn't have any problem finding what I was looking for. It had lots and lots of room. I'm not really complaining........:-) I'm just tired. </span><span style="font-size: large;">My brain hurts from overload !!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have so much to do and don't seem to get anything finished. I guess I can't say that either. Yes, I can :-) I have lots and lots to do. BUT! I have finished 6 painting, several dolls and working on lots and lots more stuff. Like I've said before I'm a Multi Tasker.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes I wish I wasn't. I'd like to try and start on one thing and finish it before I move on to another. LOL LOL!! I think I SHOULD TRY THAT SOON! TOMORROW I WILL TRY IT! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone Have A Great Day Creating!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">YES, I LOST 2.2 lbs. It's about time I stuck with the diet. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Made me happy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Been cleaning my studio desk out. GEZZZZZZ! How does one person have so much stuff???? Looks like a Pack Rat lives in my desk. Seems I'm always cleaning my Studio or/and Studios. I have more stuff to create with; one would think I would never have to go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's or Hancock Fabric ever again. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">BUT there is always something I need that I don't have OR maybe can't find. :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just wanted to post today. I haven't posted in a few days. Life is in the fast lane, seems like anyhow. Usually is. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Going to go see what I can find to eat for supper. I will be good and not eat foods I shouldn't. :-) I don't want to put the 2.2 lbs I lost back on. I want to loose and get down to my goal weight.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone have a great time creating!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hugs</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">P.S. Still no pictures to post yet. Got to get batteries for my camera. I will tomorrow. I have to go shopping tomorrow so batteries are on my list already. :-)</span>Franhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02245856992092748998noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32211551.post-41155665879458025932013-06-02T11:51:00.000-07:002013-06-02T11:51:53.903-07:00UPDATE ON COMPUTER, ETC<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">As some know computer men hard wired my computer on Friday. WOOOHOO Lighting Fast. Still is. </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Yesterday Saturday the Tech guy was here all day getting rid of stuff in my computer and changing lots of stuff,etc. He was here all day. I have been checking everything out on my computer and it's great.</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">I'm a HAPPY CAMPER!! :-) </span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">Got new cell phone yesterday. Not sure if I like it yet or not. Don't know how to use some things on it but will learn. They don't put booklets in with the cell phones anymore that tells everything about the phone. NOT A GOOD THING!! Just a small few pages and that's not really any help. Going to take my phone back tomorrow evening and get Nick (he's the one that sold it to us) to show me how to work the keyboard on it. Not sure if I like that. LOL LOL!! Will know more tomorrow night about it. I think I love my old phone better. LOL LOL!! At least I know how to use it. LOL Better Laugh Than Cry. Although I am whining here. :-)</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">EVERYONE HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY,</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">HUGS</span><br />

The men were here and hard wired my computer! It is lighting fast now. No more sitting forever waiting for emails, etc etc to come up or being kicked off. I'm HAPPY!!! Glad my son & hubby sent their men to fix my computer. Now, I don't have to sit here forever waiting for emails, etc etc to come up. I was really sick of my computer. That is why I was not on it a lot lately. It was a REAL ROYAL PAIN!! Now it's NICE! :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Going to go and finish putting things back in my studio where they belong. At least having to move stuff out gave me a change to do some cleaning where I couldn't reach. LOL After I finish putting stuff where it all belongs I will start creating again. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone Have A Creative Day</span><br />
