going to keep it simple this christmas; lots of anxiety lately. these digital Artist Trading Cards are quick, easy and fun.

went to a cookie bake yesterday where we did almost 3000 cookies. today i have to do typical housework and laundry. does not really feel like christmas with the grim news about lay-offs. i guess i could join the occupy movement but i like having my own space…which i am sharing again with Jess. this is a good thing as i get lonely this time of year.

maybe trading cards will be in your mailbox someday?

just did not get enuff sleep last night. Jess came over last night and we spent like crazy as usual at our favorite stores. I had to finish cleaning my room and pay bills when we got home so I was up till 1 am trying to figure out how I could make $793.00 appear in my checking account. I am exhausted this morning. But hey it’s a short week! Thanksgiving at Deb & Jeff’s new house! got to go the work now…this digital collage was buried on my old computer from my days w/crowabout studio b….

Last night I had company! It’s been a while but it was time Sydney got to hang out at her great Aunt Mary’s house. She was delightful company for a two month old and she slept most of the evening until it was very late and she wanted to party. We had schmizza and pepsi and watched a ton of tv. she enjoyed “Up All Night” and “Toddlers & Tiaras”.

It was a wonderful feeling holding an infant and snuggling and listening to her breathing and feeling her heat glowing out of her burrito like blanket. I was amazed she could stay up that late. I was so intoxicated from baby scent and pepsi I hallucinated UFO’s in this odd series. digital collage. images from nancy baumiller daurrogotype ville, flicker comms.
