I just returned from Texas where I attended my first CTMH Convention.  It was fabulous!  There were so many talented and inspiring artists and of course there was all the new product for us to try out ourselves.  Jeanette Lynton, the Founder and CEO, is such a lovely and loving person.  I instantly felt a bond even though I never spoke with her face to face. 

I have been so busy telling stories of everyone and everything else, that I have never really told my own story.  I am going to start.  I am sixty three years old and I would like my grandkids to know a little about how I grew up and what made me the way I am today...even some of the bumps along the road.  Stay tuned if you're interested.  My story will be sprinkled in with the new art I will be posting as fast as I can make it.

The new Close To My Hear book will be available August 1st.  You will be able to view some of the art at Yucaipa Farmer's Market - Fridays from 6:00 to 9:00 P.M.  I hope to see you there.  I will have the new books available at Farmer's Market as well.
