How does everyone keep track ??????

I sometimes get overwhelmed at all the different days and groups and ATC and whatever.

How do all of you keep track of what you are suppose to be doing on any given day, I would be comletely befuddled.

Don't get me wrong I think it is fantastic, I just am not sure I could keep it all straight.

Also, how do you get to belong to all these groups and how do you know what they are?

Now that I am going to be getting ( hopefully) back to having time to do more art, I would love to become involved in some of them.

Any help ,suggestions or ways to would be appreciated.

Love my "Blogging friends" and all their amazing work !!!

Eden's Celtic Knot Inspiration. . . . .

I know this is not quite a Celtic Knot, but it reminds me of some I have seen. I just love using markers and doing things like this with paper.

Check out Draw Doodle and Decorate Blog by Eden today for a great Celtic Knot video.
Thanks Eden for a great post.

Eden at Draw, Doodle and Decorate has the most amazing post today. A gorgeous Celtic Knot in beautiful bright colors and then with Zentangle like designs on it, with a title Six Degrees of Seperation .http://geeden.blogspot.com/.

Her post reminded me of some similar pieces I did that I shared above/

Eden also had a link to a video on how to draw this Celtic Knot that is really nice.

I like Eden love markers, bright colors and doodling. What fun I am going to have making Celtic Knots this weekend, whenever I am not at PetsMart.

How nice to be putting up a post again.

I will be doing art again soon . . . . . . . YEAH

Thank you first to all of you who supported me in my vacation from blogging. I had alot on my plate and just was too stressed to do anything it seems.

But, I just signed up for 3 ( oh my poor credit card) of Laure Ferlita's classes for fall. The two mini classes Halloween and Christmas and Journaling in Autumn. I am so excited. The last art work I produced was done in her Foundations of Journaling this past summer.

To catch up just a bit. Andrew my son has moved to Brooklyn, and to sustain producing his artwork is working at a small eating place in Brooklyn called " Pies n Thighs" the thighs is as in chicken and the place serves all comfort food. Three girls own and run it and were featured on the Today show. Go to www.piesnthighs.com and you can see there web page and see the video clip of the Today show. It is a fascinating place and somewhere fun to go if you go to NYC.

I am busy with my two sisters, brother and cousin planning our 6th bi-annual Reppert family reunion for the October 8-10 weekend. It will be here in Kansas City. We have 5 cousins in Calif. 1 in Oregan, 1 in Colorado, and 1 in Texas. It will be so good to all get together again. We know my Dad and his two brothers and 1 sister will all be looking down on us.

I have kept up when possible looking at everyone's pages, and have loved all the beautiful artwork and wonderful friends in blogworld.

Hopefully I will be posting some artwork soon.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments about Mollie. . . .

I finally got my puppy........Mollie is her name !!

Meet Mollie my new Cockapoo Puppy

Well I finally broke down and did it. I had a situation come about that I knew meant I was suppose to have her. I have her sister Miley in one of my obedience classes. The couple that own her told me about the small operation breeder they got her from, out in the country on a farm, just a delightful place.

Mollie was the last of the litter left and was 3 1/2 months old, which is getting old for people who want a puppy. The breeder found out that I worked at PetsMart and was a trainer and decided she would just give her to me for $25. instead of her usually higher fee.

She is going to quit breeding, because of grandchildren that now need to be cared for.

I am so lucky. She is sweet, quiet, pretty good so far about potty training, and since I am a trainer, I can take her to work with me !!!

So Mollie and I are roomates now.

Engagement is official......

Below is the official Engagement Picture of my oldest son Scott and his fiance Erika. It is a little blurry, but, I don't have a scanner, so taking a picture of a picture was the best I could do. The article was in the local paper this week. I couldn't be any happier for any two people.

If you will note she has strawberry blonde hair. They both have curly hair ( she flatirons hers) , so I am hoping someday for a red headed, curly headed Grandaughter. !!

The youngest son Andrew is now in New York City ( well Brooklyn really). He already has a job doing restaurant work, after only being there 3 days. Amazing what a 4 year degree in Philosophy from Loyola of Chicago will get you.!!! No I really am just kidding. He is becoming quite an artist and hopefully that can continue in New York. He is living with his girlfriend Stacy.

I still get on and look at all your blogs occasionally. Will hopefully be back on more of a regular basis someday soon.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words when I announced my "break" from blogging.

Thank you. . . . I will return periodically.

Thank you so very much to all those who responded to the post I put up. Diana's services are now over and she is resting without pain finally.
I hope to find some time to post periodically, but, we will see.
Thanks for being such dear and precious "blog friends"
