Two beautiful weekends in a row....we have been blessed!!!

I worked in my studio for 6 hours on Saturday...preparing for the upcoming holiday, Christmas party, and "Support You r Local Business"  next Saturday!!!  Cindy and Tina were there also and we worked together to make the central gallery and my studio more festive.  I came home and Ken had dinner ready when I got home and it was yummy chicken and noodles!  I then worked on another special display box for Erin's Three Kids and a Kitchen home made caramels!!! Before I realized it I had finished the job...in four hours...I told Erin I am a very slow burner!

 I had a wonderful lunch with artists and visitors from ADD over in Columbus...another group helped me this past summer with my Whispers and Echoes Studio...

 a fellow writer had lunch with her ambitious daughter Robyn...she loves art stuff....

 a family came from California for a visit ..the little one was incredibly bright and loved visiting The Works!!!  I hope they will return on their next visit.

come on down...I will share my plans for gifts from the soul ...to all the teachers...grandparents... special neighbors....

Today Ken and I had a movie date with 007 James Bond's newest release "Skyfall".  Normally this is not one of my movie favorites... but this Daniel Craig movie is a great intriguing story and Adele's song in the opening is simply fabulous.  We then delivered the wood burned trademark display box to the door and we stayed to read Thomas the Train and have dinner with them all.  They actually had a weekend together down at the Wolf Lodge water park ...the kids were thrilled to share their exploits and souvenirs ...plus we worked a couple puzzles ....drew weird sketches just for fun...and had a very healthy dark green salad with tilapia under the grill and mixed rice.  Did I start this post out with ...I have been blessed !!!!  Now I need to get some work of my own done....Imagine and Live in Peace,  Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
