OWOH Welcome!



Hello everyone and welcome to my blog that I call ArtsyFartsyMe! This is my first year to participate in the One World One Heart tour. Sadly, it's also my last, as you all know that this is it's last year. I'm so glad you've stopped by. Let me introduce myself to you...


My name is Jaime and I have many different hats that I wear (just like most women). It's kinda hard to label them all but I'll go through a few and these are not in any particular order. I am an artist, I like to draw, take a zillion photographs, paint, create things and also design, paint and draw on the computer. My background is in Graphic Design because that's how you get paid! The term starving artist is one I understand, but if the average gal wants to actually make a living then unfortunately you gotta work for the man. I do try to sell my artwork through the normal venues that are now available to us all. You can see the sidebar if you want to see stuff I've created.  I say this as I am currently staying at home with my almost 5 year old son. He turns 5 in March. Now that he'll be in all day school come August I have the opportunity to jump back in the race if I choose to. Thankfully, I have that choice.

I'm a Mommy to my very energetic and funny son, Asher. Having him later in life has been a joy. I wasn't sure I wanted to have kids when everyone else was having them which would've been in my early twenties, but God has a plan and I had a change of heart around 32 or so. I had put the age 35 in my mind that I wanted to have a child by then and it all worked pretty much as planned. I had Asher one month before I turned 36. On the other hand... I am exhausted, haha. If I knew how much fun he is and how much love I have for him, I would've done it 10 years sooner. Also, if I had known that my mom would've only had 3 years with her grandson, whom she waited so patiently for, I definitely would've done it sooner. That is one of my greatest regrets in life. My mother was my best friend. She was a great lady and my best teacher of life. I lost her to cancer October 20th, 2009 and I miss her terribly everday and it shows a lot, especially on my blog where I unload a lot of my thoughts and everyday life. Of course I am thankful for the 39 years I had with her, but can't help but feel cheated in not having her here with me now. I'm kinda selfish that way. I'm also an only child, so enough said ;)

I love flowers and am an avid gardener. I live in zone 6b (Indiana, USA) and am sick to death of winter so I'm really looking forward to Groundhog Day because even though I know it's just lore, I know that spring is close. Every year I grow from seed Heirloom Tomatoes and sell them as plants. It's very small time, but I love to do this. I have a local following and I just ordered my seed this last week. So it's almost tomato planting time... a very busy time for me. I'll be posting about that soon. I always go overboard and plant waaaay to many tomatoes in my own garden especially considering I'm the only who eats them. Last year I had 20 plants, just for myself. I do give some away to family and friends but I also make a mean salsa and can the rest. I also grow and put up corn, green beans, jalapeno's, peppers, watermelons and cantaloupe. I was born in city but have become a country girl. We live way out in the boonies and have 10 acres and a small lake.

I'm a Christian, and believe in God and that He loves us all. I believe that I will see my mom and my loved ones that have passed again someday in Heaven. I'm not a Holy Roller, but I am strong in my beliefs and I have to ask for forgiveness everyday as I know I'm a sinner (some days worse than others! haha). I tend to have a potty mouth but try to curb it especially here for my blog.

I don't post everyday, it comes in spurts. Sometimes a week goes by without a peep from me. I'm kinda moody and sarcastic but funny too. I'm loyal and consider myself a "helper". I get myself into things without thinking them through sometimes, but that's how I am and as much as I try to change, I realize that I am a Taurus and dang, I can be stubborn. I'm naturally a night owl and stay up waaay too late most nights so that means I am a very slow starter in the morning. I tend to be very messy, something I try to fix, but end up doing anyway. *notice huge mess in background on above photo* Ah well.

I have a bunch of fur babies that I complain about and brag about all the time. My sweet baby Glove, my 19 year old big fluffy white kitty, Zoey, my new faithful companion (doggy) and the newest members are twin boys, Thunder and Lighting who are mess making havoc wreaking monster like ninja kittens. And somehow this one lone Cichlid fish has managed to stay alive while all the others ended up either being eaten or flushed. I have more messes in my life than I have time for!

I love dark humor, a good steak (Medium Rare Ribeye please), Mexican food, Stuffed French Toast from IHOP and Pina Colada's. I've got about 16 sweet tooths (teeth?) and give in to them almost daily. I love ice cream, milk chocolate and I hate to exercise unless it's digging a hole to plant something in or dancing to a good beat. So as you can guess, there's a little bit of a weight issue here... Oh and I just love to listen to music, I feel it just sings to my soul. A song can make me cry, laugh, think deeply and all of the above. Music inspires me to create, to love, sometimes to hate and most of all music inspires me to live. I love all kinds of music, not just one genre. Some old stand-bys are Rock, blues, Spanish guitar (If I believed in reincarnation, I would swear I was Spanish at one time!). In my player right now I've got some Audio Slave, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Romantic Spanish Guitar, Blues Traveler, Sigur Ros and Little Big Town.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back and see what's new around here and I can't wait to learn more about you and read your blog! I'm not always this chatty, I promise. If you are so inclined, join me and become a treasured new friend (follower - I hate that term). I hope to meet all kinds of new friends to keep in touch with, learn from and maybe teach something to or perhaps I'll have to be a terrible example of what not to do... Hahaha! My door prize for getting this far and commenting on this post is a set of gift cards (see below) which are blank inside. Winner will be announced February 17th. Just make sure that I can get back in touch with you by leaving your email on the post or by having your bio filled out with your email on it in case you're the winner.

Special thanks to Lisa, creator of OWOH for this incredible idea of fellowship. I'm betting someone may be willing to carry the torch.

So long for now!

    I so understand about your mom...my thoughts are with you. My youngest I had at 44 and I wish that my parents could have had longer to get to know my lil clown. I am blessed that they did have some time with him. (My Dad-my heart passed Jan 2007 and then my mom passed Feb 2007)

  52. Hi Jaime (and fellow Hoosier),
    I live in Northeastern IN and I hear ya on the whole winter thing... tired of it doesn't begin to describe, especially as we prepare for this latest "monster" storm... ick.

    Sorry for the loss of your mother, I understand that feeling well. On being a parent - I became a grandmother about the same age you became a mother, but I think I'm about 10 years older than you if my math is correct (that'd be a miracle in itself). Anyway - I love your note cards and would consider myself pretty lucky to win them. I'm participating in OWOH too, so swing by when you get a chance if you enjoy beaded things.

    Have fun!
    Grace

    Thanks.

    Hey, seriously, your kid is cute. For a kid (you know I don't like them).
    Are you going back to work?
    Work always sounds fun, but the few times I went back I was like, "oh Fuck No"
    I said fuck on your blog.

    Don't delete it.
    Or delete it, but send me one of those presents please.
    I'd write more and beg for one but I've been sitting here for a bit and I have to pee.

    Thanks for participating in OWOH event. It's such a grand experience getting to know all new people out in blogland.

    Please add my name to your drawing for the beautiful cards.

    PS I had my only child at the same age as you. She's now 23 or will be tomorrow and has a child of her own. It's been a complete joy.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I like your post Jaime, it's been fun learning more about you. Funny, I had the same idea about having kids, I didn't want any in my 20's but had a cut off age of 35, I had max at 34. Also, I'm a taurus too, very stubborn. =) Maybe if I wasn't so stubborn I would have had Max earlier and now I wouldn't be so dang tired.
    I did a OWOH post too, It's a little embarrassing, I didn't have the time to put one together but knew I would be kicking myself if I missed the last event so I threw one together last night at 11:55. It's not the most thought out post but I'm happy to be taking part.
    Your cards are a great give away idea. Thank you for a chance at em!
    Cheers,

  74. Hi Jamie, coming to you from Las Vegas, NV! It's been a pleasure reading about you. We have a lot in common...wow. I had my one and only son at the age of 34. I too was not ready in my twenties and so glad I waited, but unfortunately my father didn't have as long with my son as I to had wished. He died of cancer on my birthday, but I just decided since I was daddy's little girl, that its just another special day to celebrate...my birthday and his new birthday with Jesus. I too will see him again. Anyway, back to your beautiful gift card giveaway...love them. I'm now following your blog and hope to learn more about you, become "friends" and possibly learn some new craft. By the way, you also remind me a lot of my business partner :D

    Bright blessings,

  88. How have we not met before? Thank goodness for OWOH! Your son is adorable. Similiar to you my Mom is dear to my heart so I am so sorry that yours has moved on to her next adventure. I can't imagine how terribly hard that must be some days. My Mom lives with me and combined we have 5 pups (my 4 Pekingese and her Chi), we live in Texas and are wondering where the helicopter the warm weather is and I love creating anything I can with paper.

    Visit when you get a chance!
    Best wishes,

  104. Hi Jaime! It is so nice to meet you! I believe we are twins separated at birth!!!

    While I was reading about you I kept going me too! me too! Is there any other way to eat a good Ribeye!! And the IHOP is my favorite place to eat breakfast! Except I go for the Omelets covered in sour cream and shredded cheese! Milk chocolate, and OF COURSE ice cream, and nothing like Mexican food! Pair that with hating to exercise too! and you have a fluffy teddy bear with a little extra around the middle. But I say it is just more to love!

    And you can ask my hubby how many times I have asked him to finally turn off a certain song because it had me in tears. I am just a big ole' softie. :)

    I also lost my mom to cancer in 2009. Sept 1, God called her home to be with Him. There is nothing that can replace this void in our hearts. I believe there is most likely no family on earth today that has not been touched by this evil monster. It certainly is no respecter of persons.

    Thank you for this wonderful give away!

    God bless and keep you.

  119. What a refreshingly honest and blunt post. I'm the same way but I guess I tend to be less forthcoming because a lot of people are put off by it in real life - maybe it's different online? :D My mother died when I was 20 and it was really rough on me as well as I was an only child and my father wasn't involved in my life - so I totally understand how that is. I don't think there's anything wrong with being selfish in that case. Everytime I hit a milestone in life I regret that she is not there to experience. Hell sometimes I just miss having someone to talk to - she really "got" me.

    It was wonderful meeting you! Come see me some time as well and keep in touch!

  152. I lost my Mum to Cancer while prgnant with my youngest - it still feels so hard to believe they will never meet though I do believe in some ways maybe they may just might have. Sounds weird but she has so many of Mums traits and expressions. I am very much on the fence with religion but do believe there is 'something' and always feel Mum's presence so I can understand your post. I can tell you - being one of 6 - it doesn't make it any easier but I bet she's with you all the time.

    It was lovely 'meeting' you - I'll be back when I get through that looooong OWOH list :)

  190. Hello Jaime, well, one sweet boy you have, good for you, making him your focus, and your art too. Um, did I leave all my stuff on your kitchen counter? I like that. A lived in house. and yes, Jaime, God is near. He held me close these last months when my world seemed to crumble. Don't worry. A new one was waiting for me. I love that you love your life. What a gift to teach your boy. wgd

I agree there are many hats we woman wear and I think there is a few we don't even know about until the occasion arises. I would love to chat with you sometime and glad that I came across your blog.

  194. HI JAIME,
    I LOVED READING ABOUT YOU...WE ARE A LOT A LIKE. I HAVE SAW YOUR NAME BUT NEVER HAD THE PRIVLEDGE TO MEET YOU. YOUR CARDS ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT LONG AFTER THE GIVE AWAY IS OVER I WANT THE FRIENDSHIP.
    MY ONLY 33 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER PASSED ON TO HEAVEN 3 DAYS AFTER YOUR PRECIOUS MOTHER...AMY DIED IN OUR LIVING ROOM IN A HOSPITAL BED FROM A VICIOUS BATTLE WITH the terrorist called cancer. I HATE IT WITH A PASSION. YES, AMY DIED OCTOBER 23, 2009 AT 10:12 PM. FOR 10 MONTHS I WAS IN SHOCK AND DIDN'T BELIEVE IT ALTHOUGH I WATCHED HER SPIRIT LEAVE HER... I AM GOING TO JOIN YOUR BLOG IF IT IS WORKING...I HAVE BEEN TO 6 BLOGS AND FOLLOWER IS BLANK. I WOULD BE SO HONORED IF YOU JOINED MY BLOG. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU FOR THE PASSING OF YOUR MOTHER...WE CAN LIFT EACH OTHER UP WHEN ONE IS DOWN.
    YOUR MOTHER HAS MET AMY OR WE WOULD NEVER HAVE MET, I BELIEVE AND THEY ARE CHEERING US ON.
    HAVE A SUGAR SWEET DAY
    SO VERY NICE TO MEET YOU JAIME
    ANGEL HUGS
    SIMPLY DEBBIE
