And the days fly by.....

Dear Honeysuckle Breeze Peeps, MY my have I been ignoring you. Yes, it seems once again my schedule has taken me in different directions and one of them  is not wanting to sit down at a laptop to post. On computer too much at the office and my workout schedule has become a little more complicated, you might say? Oh yeah, ask the clown with the funny red nose!

I have had a passion for boxing since I was young and would watch with my grandfather whenever it was on TV. I have always loved working out and getting my cardio going with boxing gloves and hitting the boxing punch mitts.  So I am now signed up and doing an hour boxing/cardio/boot camp on Tuesday nights,

working out with trainer on Wednesday and Friday nights after work, and playing doubles tennis usually three Thursday nights out of 4.  Am I whining about my schedule - heck no. Just explaining why I'm not here and not creating that much.

I was so happy when 2011 finally was over. Really really happy to usher it out. And you all were here and followed me on that journey...

All I can say is 2012 feels all new, exciting, and invigorating. I am headed in different directions right now - letting the universe guide me wherever I'm going. It's inspiring. And yes, I am still creating. Just jumped into a monthly ATC exchange.  Headed to Art & Soul in Virginia Beach the first of March (will get to see my buds, Jan and Terri)  and then another trip to Valley Ridge Art Studio in October to have my annual workshop with Michelle Ward. This year it is Synchroncity! Another exciting thing is I will be staying at the farm house at Valley Ridge.

Did this first time I went 5 years ago - and I have my same room, Meadowlark!

So, where is this rambling leading - as you can see, I haven't been back visiting you as much as I once did. But I think you already figured that one out! LOL But you all are closely held to my heart and I think of you and will be back now and then. And who knows when my life style will change again and leads me back to here more often. In this time and space, all things are possible. Let me show you what has been so exciting with the ATC this month and the word was HOPE.

Found the images and did the backs,

and then the front.... finally came up with "Hope Blooms"

So in all her glory she ushers in the new year.  Take care and I will be back ....... Hugs to all,

Another admission - my "new" iPhone is also taking time. I love, love, love the camera and different photo programs. Have been posting photos on FaceBook and Instagram. If you want to friend me on FaceBook send a message and just say Honeysuckle Breeze and I will know you are drifting over there from here. On Instagram I am known as MsMarlynn.  So when I can figure out how to download photos from iPhone to computer you will see more of my photography. Life is good, the cleaning lady is wonderful, and I am just preparing for a "big" 65 birthday in February. Whoot Whoot! Pass the boxing gloves, please!
