So, yesterday was my 27th birthday. It was a wonderful day filled with phone calls, emails, online chats, and visits from well wishers, lots of family & even more friends. So, thank you to everyone who remembered, it certainly made my day extra special.
I do have to admit it though... 30 now seems like the giant elephant lurking in the corner. Now, it's not that I'm worried about turning 30 & it being the end of my life as I know it or anything ludicrous like that, I'm just very aware of it. It's as though I'm suddenly sitting here going... wow I'm 27, what the heck have I done with my life? Where has it gone? Could I have done more? Why am I now in my LATE twenties... sniffles. Oh well.
Sorry to lay that bummer on you! :) LOL. Well, it's been said so I can move forward. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

A long absence
Sorry all. I haven't been too diligent with the blogs lately... my bad. I've been up to my eyeballs with end-of-the-school-year activities, Girl Scout trips and parties, Church work, camp planning, birthday parties, going back on my diet, working out (ouch), and working for my Aunt & her best friend. Sheesh, no wonder you haven't heard from me! So, this is my official apology. I'm sorry! :) Well, at least I'm back now, but it'll probably be more of a weekly thing, as opposed to a daily thing.
The only thing, other than the family, that I've made time for lately has been playing World of Warcraft. I can admit it: I'm a nerd. But, hey, you already knew that! Ha ha ha!
We had a combined birthday party yesterday at my Aunt's house. It was a lot of fun! Got together with our closest friends & family, shared cupcakes, opened gifts, and laughed until we cried. It was such a fun day! Here are a few pics...

Finally, some organization!
So, I have finally added 2 links to my page, my gallery on Deviant art, and my store on etsy.com. Hopefully you'll get a chance to browse, send your friends on by, etc. There has been a small lapse in my posting to both sites, but this week there will be A LOT going on to both! Hope you like 'em!
For those who may be interested, the garage sale fundraiser went GREAT! We had an awesome turn out, and the Bake Sale was a blast to run with the girls! I'm SO tired! but it was worth it! Have a good day, all!

P.S. This is my friend wheel, I generated it on Facebook. It's how all of my FB friends connect to one another. There were some on there that I didn't expect to have a connection. Neat-O!

Stuff in general
Okay, I know it's been a while, but all is well again here in "the merry ol' land of Oz." I've been painting, crafting, scrap booking, raising children, and enjoying Spring break 
with the fam. We haven't gone anywhere or done anything. Just vegged, which I think is better than going and doing right now. We're always out and about, doing a million things. This week however of doing nothing, has been incredibly theraputic, you know?
I am excited about Twilight coming out on DVD this Friday @ Midnight... but now this issue comes. Who has the best deal. I've seen so many different releases. Target has a 3 disc set, Walmart a 2 disc 'special edition', Amazon has the super ultimate deluxe has everything you could possibly imagine in it editioin, and then there are just the stores with the regular 2 disc editions but they're having the release parties with the fun and the giveaways & stuff. Ah descisions. What ever is a Cullen fan to do? I know... I'll read all the boo
ks again!
Speaking of reading books, I just finished the 5th House of Night book by P.C. & Kristen Cast "Hunted." It was pretty good. But, I was kinda annoyed at the end of it. Oh well. The 6th will come out next year (sniffle). However, I read the 4th mercy Thompson "Bone Crossed" by Patricia Briggs. AWESOME!!! (The picture to the right is the coverart for 'Bone Crossed'. It was painted by an artist named Dan Dos Santos. I LOVE HIS WORK! You can check him out at www.dandossantos.com) Also am anxiously awaiting the 4th Cassie Palmer "Curse the Dawn" by Karen Chance. Two and a half weeks to go on that one (agony!). But I did start reading the Blue Bloods series by Melissa De La Cruz. It's pretty good... so far. It came highly recommended by my cousin Ryan, one of the coolest guys I know. He and his sister have more artistic talent than you can shake a stick at.
I'm starting to feel that I'm rambling, but hey, that's what this blog is for! So, speaking of art. I was on www.deviantart.com recently and came across some really awesome paintings. So, I'm going to share them with you, one at a time... so that the suspense eats at you and you are forced to visit my blog often. Mwa ha ha ha haaaaaa! (evil chuckles are so much fun!) Here goes! Have a good one! -Jeri

I HATE BEING SICK!!!!!
So, on Valentine's Day, Logan got the stomache flu. He gave it Constance the next day. That following Monday, I got it, and promptly shared it with my hubby. We're a family of sharing afterall. Very giving. Anyhoo... we all felt better by thursday of last week. The kids are now super healthy, BUT One of my hubby's co workers decided that we needed to have the regular flu. BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! My hubby, again being a very giving person, has shared it with me, and I have been sick as a dog for the last 3 days!. Grrr.
Enough complaining for me. Okay, so I got more art up on etsy, so if you wanna check it out, the link is in the previous post.
it has also been brought to my attention that I don't actually put up new posts as often as I change the background for this blog. So, I will attempt to do better at posting, eventhough, I LOVE changing my backgrounds too! Well, TTFN!

My life is a fun one
So, this week has been interesting, and it's only Tuesday. We considered buying a house, then decided not to. I'm feeling kinda sick to my stomach, but that could be for a million different reasons. Oh well. Instead of buying a home we're gonna put cash into this one, so when we are ready to sell, we'll get a better price than we would now. Whatcha gonna do, right? ANY WHO... I finished three paintings this weekend, and I'm very excited for a huge one I'm working on for Eric. I was able to get some more shading on my Romanian castle, but I still have a long way to go on that one. The great news about all of it is that I'm just about ready to open up my etsy shop! Yea! Well, that's my babble for today, hope you enjoyed it! :) -Jeri
