I have been away, or should I say I'm back!

Oh the life of a traveler....I am home. I think it is home. We have moved so much it is hard for me to really feel as though my feet are planted.
We moved back from Nuremberg to Indiana and within a year or so we moved again. Now I am living up North. It is beautiful here as I look out my back door and see 14 or so inches of snow. I miss the European traveling most of the time but I am trying to feel planted here.
There is a funny thing that has happened to me, most of my adult life....when I get a really good job...my husband's company moves us. So I decided after the last move to Europe I would "show" them. I called myself retired at a very young age chuckle chuckle. I now am busier than ever, working like a crazy women, and yet not pulling in a pay check. Crazy you might say, but I think not.
Life is too short not to get involved. I am very blessed to be able to work like I do. I am currently teaching art (for those of you who know me that is a love of mine) We joined a wonderful little church that was in great need of help.  So....I took the job and am not taking a pay check. So you see I am working just not like most people. I also lead a Women's Bible study, work on a web site, and do the publication for the same School/church.  On top of all that I am back to creating my Old fashioned Santas.  I have had two commissions in the last 3 months and I am finding it very difficult to find the time to really settle in and work on them. It is my most favorite thing to do and is very much like therapy for someone like myself. (My brain never shuts off and even when I am asleep I am creating something in my head)
I will try to get back to my post as that too is a wonderful outlet for us creative types....I have missed the travel and hopefully will be able to revisit my photography as I post. So I might have been away but now I am back. - well for now! I will be talking with you shortly. Pour yourself

a cup of coffee and lets get started.........
