First I want to say I finally put my terra cotta pots on my etsy shop, now how do I get people to view them??? I'm not having a lot of luck with etsy. But I'll keep on trying.

Now ladies and gentlemen... (dum dat duh dum) for the highlight of the evening, I want to pass on the Blog Lovin' Award to the following recipients: (drum roll, please!)

1. Little Pink Houses - for making me laugh a little each time I read her off the wall posts
2. Folk Art by Campbell Jane - for inspiring me to pick up a brush and paint again with her lovely paintings
3. Notes From the Voodoo Cafe - for also making me laugh with her Candy the Squirrel escapades and everyday happenings.
4. Designs By CK - for giving me such great music to hear and fun Halloween art to look at on his blog. He makes it his mission to see you're entertained while browsing.
5. Art Journal---A Creative Journey - for being a friend and just a great artist mentor and helping me keep the faith.

You all deserve it! Now go... and pay it forward :)

Exciting Cyber Day!

I am so excited today for two reasons. First: My friend and fellow blogger, Carole (ArtPlus) has passed on a Blog Lovin' Award! Which I am enthusiastically accepting! Thank you Carole!! ArtPlus is a great blog. She is always sharing her writing and creativeness with everyone and always has an uplifting message on commenting. She is very multi-talented. Make sure you check her blog and soon.

I think I am supposed to pass this award on to someone, so I will do that Wed. evening.

Secondly: I found another really witty, creative and fun blogger (A Fanciful Twist) that I am going to follow and join in on what I can only think to call a Blog Party! A Halloween Blog Party! Held October 17th. See the cool link on the right and click on it for all the details, WAIT! first continue to read mine :) I am already drooling at the thought of what I'll do and blog about for it. I think it's kind of like a pub-crawl, so it's a Web-Crawl! :D You visit everyone on the party list to see what they have blogged about for this special event! Get in on the action! From what I've read already on the comments, they sound like a fun bunch of forever young at hearts that love Halloween (like me!).

Now, I have to say that even though I said I wouldn't mention making salsa again, I lied. Yes people, I have made more stinkin salsa. This time it's Pineapple salsa and a milder salsa with cilantro this time. Two more batches. Did I ever mention that I still haven't eaten all the salsa I made last summer? Now I have more. Last night at 12:15 am I pulled the last of the jars out of the water bath and delcared NO MORE SALSA! Then today, the hubby came in with another 5 gallon bucket of tomatoes. Oh dear. I really am tired of making this stuff. It seems to take longer and longer each time I make it. I don't know how all these Mexican Restaurants do it everyday. My hands reek of garlic and onions. I keep getting burned from the jalapeno's even though I wear gloves to cut them up (my skin is hyper-sensitive). I have to STOP THE MADNESS! well, maybe just one more batch won't kill me... ;)
