New life adventure to begin!

Almost Home Texas again...with lots of things running around in my head. At long last, plans that we have been making for retirement are going to be put into action. Time to organize, sort, hang, and get ready for my pursuit of happiness in my art projects. I have been reading the latest Where Women Create magazine looking for jumping off points for my work stations and everything I have seen is swimming in my head so i have decided to start a list of items/projects/dreams to work from or inspire for to stay on track and what better place to wish from then my blog. Any ideas you want to share I would love to hear them and hopefully I will be able to keep you up to date over the next year with pictures too.
