and Ed and I having a sushi dinner at our favorite restaurant
My last post started with "oh my gosh I can't believe it has been two months since I've written" and here it is another two months gone. Where does the time go? Has anyone ever answered that question? I don't think so.
2011 seemed to have flown by and now it is time to take stock of where I've been and where I'm going. This past year brought so many wonderful things.....
another Artfest last April
polymer clay workshops I organized with Jana Roberts Benzon and Sarah Shriver
another season of training with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training (Ed and I raised $5,200 and went to San Francisco to do the Nike Half Marathon)
a few days in Phoenix with my fabulous friend Cynde at Art Unraveled
celebrating my mom's birthday in Albuquerque with my brother, his wife and my daughter, Jennie, and having Mom make the decision to move here
having my dad visit us and discovering a new restaurant in Santa Fe
my friend Pam and her son Kendall visited from North Dakota and we got some of our old Z-CoiL buddies together for a lovely dinner
being active in the Kokopelli Doll Group (and winning a blue ribbon at the State Fair with my first doll!)
being active in the LIBROS book arts group (and winning a blue and red ribbon for two of my hand made books)
starting a Visual Journaling group
making a super cool witch in a workshop with Arley Berryhill (photo attached)
going to Clay Carnival in Las Vegas (with Cynde of course)
making a bunch of new friends online (and I got to meet Carlanda Brown Williamson and Serena Barton in person)
and somehow I managed to work full time!!!
Ed and I had another wonderful year together - we celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary, we grew lots of tomatoes and corn in our garden, we hosted a Stampin' Up party and Ed helped the ladies as we made lovely Christmas projects, we trained for the half marathon together and Ed also coached the Team in Training cycling team, we relaxed while watching our favorite TV shows (and I often had my art table set up in the living room so that I could feed my creative habits while catching up on Trueblood, Grey's Anatomy, Bones, The Closer, etc), we went to the Yoga Winter Solstice celebration, we held another Trivia Night fundraiser, we had a lovely Thanksgiving in Arkansas with my mom (whose house is on the market so she can move to Albuquerque!!), and a quiet Christmas with home made cookies.
2012 is already starting off with a bang.....going to Dallas in two weeks to do a workshop with Kate Church (http://www.katechurch.com/) and I'll be returning to Artfest at the end of March (sad that this will be the last one (http://www.teeshamoore.com/). We are hoping to go back to Australia to visit all our friends later in the year, but that may not happen unless they finally let us use our frequent flyer miles or we win the lottery!

I hope that 2012 brings everyone a wonderful year full of magic.....and I'll try (once again) to be better about posting in my blog.
Happy New Year!!
