So this happened...got to spend some time in Peru with my awesome parents.
And this...lots of marching band performances with my two oldest fellas (Fella #1 plays the French Horn, Fella #2 plays the Euphonium).
Go, Deer Valley!
And this...a visit with two dear friends, Su and Ali (all the way from England!).
We shopped and ate and laughed and watched the Homecoming parade and the football game and went to Sedona...
...where we had our auras read and photographed...
and watched Fella #3 run in his cross country meet...
So, needless to say, I've had very little time for art making. But, I'm back in the saddle...headed to Baltimore, Los Angeles, and New Mexico (all before Thanksgiving!) to teach and spread the joy of mixed media art.
What have you been up to?
Wow! You've been getting around! Hope you're back hasn't been bothering you. Good luck with even more traveling! Yay for art making!

Being nosey here, I just had my aura read and photographed as well and was surprised by my color.
I'm apparently a yellow orange, which isnt the last color I would have picked, but definitely low on the totem pole.
Were you surprised as your color or did you feel like you matched?

Fresh air, good friends, watching the boys do their thang, and a trip to Peru with your fabulous parents? Wow!!! Doesn't compare to time at the VA Hospital with hubby and brother in law.....However...sitting in the studio on Saturday night watching football and creating... I'll take that!

Sounds like you have been crazy busy. Glad you got to see you parents. It would be hard to be so far away from them. Hopefully things will slow down a little. Take care!
