House cleaning is just not fun!
Wow... January 8 already. I've started on one of my new year nonresolutions. I've been working on the house. I have my studio looking so much better. I can see the desk now. And the room is relatively clean. I still haven't purged all the stuff that I want to get out of it but I have a good head start on my way to organization in there. The fact that the guy was coming in there to hook up my network card on the old computer kicked me into the mode. It feels so much better to walk in there now.
I bought a frame today to put my piece of artwork from my friend Elizabeth (remember the black bird painting?). But now that I've got it in the frame it's not right. I need to have a light mat to bring the picture out with the dark frame. My sister gave me a painting for Christmas. Of a black bird. Once I get the computer working with my camera again I'll show you all a picture of it. It's so me. Oh, oh and today in the mail I received a wonderful little canvas painting from the artist Angela Rockett. I'm not sure yet why she sent it to me. I don't know if I won it or what. I've emailed her to find out before I get too excited about it. I keep thinking it was sent to me in error. How I don't know? It's a wonderful abstract.
Ok, I'm off to take a little rest before I get back to cleaning. Whew... I'm tired.

i was just thinking i needed a nap too!
Hey I can relate to that...I've been putting all the holiday stuff away and cleaning too. Ick!
Love that little painting by Angela Rockett. What a nice gift!
Happy New Year, jaYne! xox
I only use a white or cream mat for everything. Then your frame can be any color -sometimes I even use a white frame with a white mat.
I used to paint in Highschool. :) I would love to see your work!
I'm with you on the housecleaning thing. I'm not a fan of doing it, but enjoy the results when it's done. Twice a year I do a thorough "shovel out" where I clean out every room and closet. Last time I did it, it took two trips to get everything to the resale shop.
Hi Jayne,
I think we're losing each other's emails! Anyway, the painting I sent you was part of a "pay it forward" project. I'm so glad you like it!

@Angela Rockett - Oh my goodness. I had forgotten about that. Well, anyway, I thank you so much for my wonderful painting. I really do cherish it. I will make something and try to figure out how the 'pay it forward' project worked. Thanks again... and hugs...
