Please visit my Bead Soup Blog Party post here.

Hello everyone!  I just wanted to say thank you to all who have stopped by my Bead Soup Blog Party post (click on image above)…your comments sure made my day.  I’m still traveling around to the many blogs and will be for some time. I’ll be having to take a little break from hopping though through the weekend as life has picked up speed like a bullet train this week!  So I have just a few words for you…

TODAY…. I picked the winner of my BSBP earrings.  The winner is Erin of Elysian Studios!  Be sure to visit her beautiful blog – it is really one-of -a-kind! 🙂  It is one of the many new blogs I have found thanks to the blog party!

TODAY…. was my Dad’s birthday.  We just finished celebrating McGinnis/Wimmer style with cake and ice cream.  It’s wonderful now that my 10 year old son likes to bake many of the cakes…today he baked a Hot Milk Cake like my Grandmother used to make.  It was as good as it sounds! 🙂  Here are a few celebrations pictures from various years…..

TODAY…was the last day to register online for this weekend’s ArtBLISS retreat!  You can still register onsite for classes with remaining spaces.  Jeanette and I have been busy, busy, busy preparing and we’re looking forward to seeing many of you in just a few days.

I will be away from my computer for most of the remaining week and weekend, just checking in here and there.

Thank you for your visit today!
