I forgot how much work it is. I'm EXHAUSTED!!!!<br />
Mojo doesn't stop for a minute. He's either chewing everything in site, running and playing or Pee-ing all over the house. BUT, he's so cute!!!!! I guess he's normal for a 9 week old. Perseverence is my new motto. HE WILL CALM DOWN AND BE TRAINED!!<br />
I haven't had a chance to do anything but keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get into <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We broke down and adopted a new puppy. So far, he has been a good little dog. He slept all night(in bed with us). He is so cuddley and loves to play. He's been a perfect little boy. Still doesn't understand the concept of going outside to pee. That will be our biggest obstacle. Believe it or not, he also has the same Birthday as me. He's really dark in color(so different than Sunny). I love him so much already. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is the first time in many years i'm not having it at my house. Usually, by this time, I'm busy planning, shopping and getting nervous about all the cooking.<br />
I must say, it feels good, although I'll miss my family (son and grandchildren). Keith is with his dad in North Carolina. Miranda and Alex are in Disney (with Mom).<br />
I've been busy with alot of my art committments. Some,. still in the planning stages. <br />
My class "Gut Art" has ended and now I'm taking a free Mandala Class.<br />

Sandy came over the other day and we finally played with our Gel Plates we bought last summer at Create. We ended up with a bunch of MONOPRINTS. It was so much fun. Good background paper.<br />

WHAT DID I LEARN FROM THIS? <strong>FOCUS AND BE MORE OBSERVENT</strong>. WHAT A DAY!<br />
11-11-11 IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE A SPIRITUAL DAY OF AWAKENING. I SEE NOTHING SPIRITUAL ABOUT THIS.<br />
ANYWAY, NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN TO BE REPAIRED. MY INSURANCE WILL COVER ALL OF IT. <br />

Sunny (my little friend for 14 years) was put to sleep on October 27th. He became very ill and<br />
there seemed to be no hope for a quality life. It was such a hard decision to make. I know in my heart, he's in a better place and he's not suffering.<br />
Bob and I miss him so much. There's such a big void.<br />
The photo above, is a shrine I made to honor him which will always remind us of how much he was loved.

<div align="left"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">After my husband passed away, I was searching for a new meaning to life.<br />
<br />
I accidently came across Seena's book and I knew "SoulCollage" was for me.<br />
<br />
It was a perfect way to incorporate my love of collage and my need to find my life purpose.<br />
<br />
Little did I know, it would also help with my grieving (see below).<br />
<br />
After making my first card, I knew I was hooked! I was in total awe of the process and how it made me connect to my sub-conscious and how it made me aware of deep rooted issues and feelings. Often, I would look at my finished card and wonder where it came from. <em>ME OF COURSE!</em><br />
<br />
SoulCollageĀ® has been in my life for eight years and I intend to continue using it forever. I have participated in a few gatherings and I've shared the process with many of my friends.<br />
<br />
I love searching for images. My collection has grown by leaps and bounds and I know it will keep on growing. I'm sure every image I have cut out has a message not yet understood or discovered.<br />
<br />
My best advice for anyone just starting out is to LET GO AND LET GOD! Quiet your inner critic and trust yourself. <br />
<br />
<strong>Here are 2 of my SoulCollageĀ® cards: </strong><br />

<em>I am the one who needs to mourn.<br />
I am the one who needs to break down.<br />
I am the one who needs to show the world I CAN cry.<br />
I am the one who needs to say good-bye. </em><br />

</div>Once a month we meet at <strong>Cottage Stamper</strong> in St. Charles, Il for a LUNCH DATE. <br />
A group of women get together to swap cards from a technique given to us the previous month by the store owner. Not only do we have fun swapping, but enjoy a very nice lunch. We talk, play and share ideas. Oh, a little shopping too! It's a great way to meet new people who have the same interests.<br />
The above card is my swap for September. I used a Michael Strongs stamp (love him), Tim Holtz Distress Inks, White and black embossing powders and a stamp from for the background by Hero<br />
Arts.<br />
Can't wait to see next month's technique.Harriet Reesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09295329457199381460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21668090.post-77852534016050657792011-09-07T10:26:00.000-06:002011-09-07T10:26:56.062-06:00MONOTYPEThanks to<strong> Helen Shafer Garcia </strong>and her class I took at CREATE,I've been busy experimenting with monotypes.

It was a small group because of the Holiday. As usual, we had fun. The Technique for September was Zentagles.<br />
<br />
I'm a bit dissapointed that our community Craft Show was CANCELLED! The reason being our Association will not allow children under 18 and it can not be open to the public. Doesn't that suck? <br />
I have spent the past few months focusing on creating items for the show. Now I have all kinds of stuff to sell. I guess I need to find another Venue for it. I'm selling bracelets, guardian angel zipper pulls, purse jewelry and note cards, as well as some Christmas gift card envelopes and tags.<br />
Oh well, I guess I need to be more pro-active in selling. Any ideas?Harriet Reesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09295329457199381460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21668090.post-13243069193821282572011-08-27T16:13:00.000-06:002011-08-27T16:13:38.785-06:00CREATE RETREATI'm back from Create. I took three classes. Enjoyed all of them.<br />
Met with old and new art friends and stayed at the hotel for 2 nights (even thought it was close to home).<br />
It gave me the sense of being away from home.<br />
Below are photos of what I created. Excuse the poor quality of my picture taking. I'm still on a learning curve with my new camera.<br />

The first one is a monotype with watercolor and pastels from a class with Helen Shafer Garcia<br />
The glass book was made in a class with Thomas Ashman<br />
The three minature books were made in a 3 hour class Wednesday nite. <br />

<br />
Had a great time with my siblings and other family members. Naomi, Joel, Rachel and Stella came in from New York. I met them in the city and we went to vist our old neighborhood, HYDE PARK. We walked and walked, saw old and new sights. It was a walk down memory lane.<br />
Later in the day we met the rest of the family for dinner at a Mexican Restaurant on North Wells.<br />
I haven't walked so much since I was in New York last year.<br />
On Saturday, we all went to Joni and David's house for a Barbeque in Rogers Park. As usual, it was great seeing my entire family together. I wish we all lived closer. Hopefully, we can do this every year.Harriet Reesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09295329457199381460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21668090.post-42166380569261909522011-07-06T17:42:00.000-06:002011-07-06T17:42:25.865-06:00HELLO WORLDI can't believe so much time has passed since my last entry. Unbelievable!!!!<br />
I've been busy creating (as usual). I'm participating in a show and have spent the last few months preparing for it. I'll upload pics later.<br />
I'm still involved with my ATC group. I'm also participating in a round robin and getting together with mostly art friends and family. A big family reunion is coming up at the end of July. Can't wait.<br />
<br />
I signed up for a few classes at CREATE next month. It's so close to home The best thing is there is no air fare and hotel costs. It's alot cheaper than going to "Art Unraveled" in Phoenix. I did reserve a hotel room for 2 nights. I wanted to get the feel of a mini retreat!<br />
No big travel plans at the moment. I'm hoping to go somewhere in the next few months.<br />
Well, enought for now. It felt good to blog again.Harriet Reesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09295329457199381460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21668090.post-2236762918334310602011-01-11T16:22:00.000-06:002011-01-11T16:22:33.148-06:00IS IT SPRING YET?What a winter! Not only in the Chicago area, but all over the world. What's going on? It's Too much .<br />
<br />
All I've been doing is making cards with flowers, birds, butterflies and anything bright and cheerful.<br />
It keeps my mind off the dullness of winter.<br />
Below are three of my cards.<br />

Meyers Florida. I'll be leaving on February 14th. I guess I won't be spending Valentines Day with Bob. Am I being selfish?<br />
I should have waited one more day. Wasn't thinking when I made the reservation. He doesn't<br />
seem bothered by it.<br />
I've been participating in the <strong>Sketchbook Challenge.</strong> I've actually sketched every day since the 1st of January. I'm finding it very relaxing.<br />
I also signed up for Carla Sonheins "SILLY" workshop. So far I have looked at the assignments,but haven't done them. Just not feeling it right now.

<br />
Bob and I made our frist big decision of the year! We've decided to go to Phoenix in February instead<br />
of next week. It just feels like a better time.<br />
It's nice to be able to change plans and have no consequences other than to ourselves..<br />
Now that I know we're still here for a month I'm going to seriously work on my projects.<br />
<br />
I spent a good part of New Years Day trying to get my PC to link up to the internet. For the life of me, I couldn't get it to work. I still can't. I NEED AN EXPERT to help me link up. I hope I don't spend the entire day trying again. It's driving me crazy especially because it worked the last time I used it. <br />
I hate unfinished business. <strong> Hmmmm, need to get out and forget about it.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE</strong>Harriet Reesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09295329457199381460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21668090.post-15778734778854647922010-12-28T00:06:00.000-06:002010-12-28T00:06:30.868-06:00I FINALLY WENT OUTI decided it was about time to get out and see the world again. I've been in the house for 4 days.<br />
This cold wintery weather makes me want to hybernate. I told myself to get up , get dressed and GET GOING. <br />
As usual, my mission was to visit a store that had something artsy and inspiring.<br />
After going to the bank and having them count my hoarded change , I ended up with an extra $80.00 in my pocket. It was buring a hole.<br />
So, off I went to Geneva to visit the "Designers Desk", a needlepoint store with hundreds of painted canvases and racks of beautiful colored fibers. After browsing awhile, I managed to buy a canvas to work on while I'm traveling.. This should be a challenge because it's a blank piece. I have to take the chart in the book and transfer each stitch to the 18 count canvas. There went my money again!<br />
Retail therapy is good for the soul!<br />
<br />
I'm thinking about the new year. I want to focus more on selling my artwork. I have boxes filled with all my finished art projects. Need to start letting go of it. It's serving no purpose hidden away. I'm hoping someone will appreciate it. I have to think of a way to go about it. I've been procrastinating about doing this for years. IT"S TIME!!!.Harriet Reesehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09295329457199381460noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21668090.post-51325276753080388842010-12-23T15:17:00.000-06:002010-12-23T15:17:47.765-06:00MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Hope it's safe, healthy and happy.<br />
<br />
I'm ready! Gifts are wrapped, meal is planned and I'm looking forward to having my son and grandchildren over. I keep forgetting they are not little anymore. No more toys. All grown up stuff. I kind of miss it. <br />

I was tired of doing paper art.<br />
I needed a break. Anyway, I think they are kind of cute. I wanted the earthy look.<br />
Who knows what I'm going to do with them. It will probably be stored away with all my other stuff I've finished.<br />
<br />
I won honorable mention in the "12 days of ChristmasTags" by Tim Holtz.<br />
The yahoo group, ALL THINGS TIM, sponsered it. I Wonder what the prize is.<br />
<br />
It's official that Bob, Sunny and I are taking off for Phoenix around the 8th of January. If all goes well, we plan to stay at least a month. We're renting rather than imposing on Barb this time. We are not staying too far from her house, so I can see her often.<br />
Looking forward to getting away.<br />
