On occasion <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>time seems to run away from you and you
only notice its passing when its smacks you in the face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was the case when I saw the date
of my last posting on this Blog. I was so caught up in cray cray that I would
forget to breathe. After a long inhale and exhale I think I’ve caught by
breathe. If you been following my sporadic Facebook postings you know of the
cray cray I refer to, no need to elaborate, for those that haven’t lets just
say that your health is the most precious gift and blessing we posses. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
What kept me sane through all the madness was my art,
however infrequent I was able to create. I managed to keep a steady keel in
rough waters. I’m posting some of the WIPS here so you can see what’s coming
down the pike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

On another front, I was determined to submit some artwork to various publications for consideration. That effort, I’m happy to say, bore fruit. I’m thrilled to announce that some of my work will be in this falls editions of A<i>rt Doll Quarterly </i>and <i>Somerset Holidays and Celebrations.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Surprisingly enough another accomplishment is the opening of my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/Hohohalloween?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a>…Finally! So now, those of you that cant make it to either <a href="http://www.halloweenandvine.com/" target="_blank">Halloween and Vine</a> or <a href="http://www.halloweenandvine.com/" target="_blank">Spirits in Sanford</a> can always get your Halloween fix there year round and not miss out on the fun.</div>

I'm sure most of you thought that I was MIA, which is understandable given the apperant vanishing act. Well my freinds nothing could be farthernfrommthe truth. Depsite what has been a rough year health wise, with a little help and a lot of faith Ive managed to create some interesting characters, mostly in the form of lanterns. Ive discovered I have a certain affinity for them. that being said Ive tried to stretch their boundaries. Of course there are the ones based on traditional vintage lanterns with a modern take on them and then the unexpected. singing mushrooms, JOL carriages, marching drum players... you get the idea.</span></span><br />
<div>
I wish I could have posted more WIPS, but lately I can't seem to walk and chew gum at the same time. So I. sharing some images of what to expect at the upcoming shows for this season that Ill be attending, which reminds me, I do hope to see many of you at .Halloween & Vine Septemberm 28th in Petaluma California or at Spirits in Sanford October 5th in Sanford Florida</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway here are some of the creations you could expect to find and stake a claim to:<br />

Hello everyone. Finally able to sit and jot down some worlds in-between shows. First off a most heart felt thank you to all the collectors and artist that made Halloween and Vine a bang of a show. It's alway been a wonderful venue but, Lesley, Stephanie and Dennis brought in some wonderful new energy and artist. Thank you for all their hard work.</div>

There were the usual suspects of artist and collectors, and many new ones whom Im store be putting H&V on their annual schedule of events. I was alone so I wasn't able to document all the goings on as I wanted to. Apologies for blurry pics.</div>

There were early morning risers that make up the long line that has become tradition at H&V, by opening time it went round the building and down the block. Some of my favorite collectors and all around wonderful people could be found at the front of the line.</div>

Inside was chuck full of pumpkins and amazing halloween art. Every where you looked there was talent, building excitement and anticipation. I know that it was difficult for me to choose which piece or pieces were going home with me this year within my budget. I can only imagine what everyone else goes through to make that excruciating decision. I only wish is that I could go home with one of everyone's.</div>

<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;"><b>a <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/break">break</a> or interruption in the continuity
of a work, series, action, etc.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;">The above definition best applies to my absence from the
blogasphere and online presence in general. If you’ve been following me for awhile,
you’ll be familiar with my trials and tribulations of which I’ve no need or
desire to recount. Suffice it to say “ my cup runneth over…” , with what, I’ll
leave to your very capable imaginations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;"> As most of you have
figured out by now, partly voluntary and partly by circumstance, I have been on
</span><span style="font-family: ArialUnicodeMS; font-size: 18pt;">hi·a·tus.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;"> Regardless, it has
been most welcome and needed in the end. Funny how sometimes we cannot see the
answer, which is right in front of us. That which is most obviously needed
seems somehow inconceivable. One way or another life has a way of making you
notice and forcing you to react.
It has been a time of reflection as well as inventory. Time to accept my
limitations as well as my potentials. Knowing one will define the other and
vice a versa. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;">Time to be thankful for all the goodness and blessings in one’s
life. Thankful for kind words, well wishes or encouragement sent my way. Those
are things that feed one’s soul and give one strength in the best or worst of
times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;">Time to plan, to foster thoughts and Ideas, new and old. Someone
once said: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;"><b>“be careful of your thoughts for thoughts turn into words.
Words turn into action, action turns into character and character turns into
destiny”<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ffe599;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;">I’m not sure if I’ve quoted it correctly, but I believe you get
the jist. Having said that, and with all intentions, here’s to endless
creativity, boundless energy, healthy stamina, and painless living. I will be
pushing new boundaries, redefining old ones, and picking up where I left off. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffe599; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13pt;">Some of that time was spent on freshening up spaces, for
instance the blog banner above. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

You'll see some themes that seem to be favorites from years past as well as new and exciting ones. Of course this means getting down to some serious work and maintaining somewhat of a schedule. That includes blogging more often. All this, while trying to work within my physical limitations. With a little planning, some timed rest periods and the help of modern medicine I should be OK.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh70bz2LRg7TqTwoRDDIVXx1FO5oLJbDbaVL9I3w4kJcH_AAXAWd5_2uOAwez2rjz1YOUvWdj2Z3rtaFAYjzKJKK2wSnXkHzekzW1cc-CLRxOiGkfnvLuuzSGxAAWVg4SjQgUwg70g5jrE/s400/hangover051206_228x220.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557963377664530354" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 228px; height: 220px; " /></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Verdana; min-height: 17px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 11px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Verdana; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">First up on the agenda is catching up on commissions, so for those of you patiently waiting for your creations, it won't be long before they'll be in your hands.
