Minnesotin'

My darling husband took over the duties of the Lobo-Simpson Casa and shipped me off to my sister in Minnesota. Everyone should be so lucky.
To have an amazing husband who will brave the beasts of this home alone and to have a sister that knows your thoughts before you do and loves you anyway. No words.
You two...I am a very lucky lady indeed.

Cheesecurds. 'Nuff said.



Why don't I own this?



New city, new Natural History Museum!

Hope to be back soon....AFTER that damn place defrosts.

The Other Woman

He spends all his spare time gazing into her eyes.
He makes her salads with organic mixed greens topped with delicate little squares of strawberries.
He brings her flowers. Pink hibiscus.
He's building a dream house in his head for her. I can see that he's thinking about it as he drifts off to sleep.
She's come to live here.....and I don't think she'll be leaving anytime soon.
And the worst part?

Well, I think she's pretty lovely too.

New, New, Newness

The new website is up. A huge thank you to my brother in law, Jason, for being a computer genius and providing me with tech support in the 11th hour. I'd probably still be staring at my computer, drool dribbling from the corners of my mouth if it weren't for him!

Let me know what you think! Does anything wonky happen, any broken links? Don't be shy.

Oh and! Perhaps the most exciting part, for me anyway, is I've added a store. I will be adding products hopefully 'on the reg' (say that in your best Kenny Powers voice). Giclee prints of paintings can still be found through Gelaskins.

And last, but certainly not least, thank you. Yes you. And you, and you. I stumbled upon my stats for my website & I have to say, I was humbled, thrilled, and a little nervous to learn how many people actually care about what I do. Really? Jeez. Thanks, guys. It really means the world to me & I appreciate every little click.

Home v. Work

home is totally winning.....

Because it's Friday....

Did you know that this occurs? I did not. Stuart is so going to have to step it up so he can enter next year.

So apparently I am only appreciated in other parts of the world. What have I ever done to you, USA? I vote. I bbq on the fourth of July. I like apple pie. Okay, so I am currently dodging my civic duties and avoiding Jury Duty, but avoiding responsibility is about as American as you can get, so what gives?
My feelings are a little hurt, US of A.

Anyhow. A huge THANK YOU to Funs Want magazine from Taiwan...and Angeline in particular. It was a pleasure and a complete honor!
