Give Me a Fork

I know my birthday was last week, however, during lent I give up sweets and I guess a birthday cake is classified sweets. On my birthday John didn't surprise me with a cake, I was a little sad. However, I knew he didn't want me, to want it and not be able to have it.

Saturday came and as always, a trip to the hardware store was in his plan. He came home with this cake, it was small, cute and chocolate. Sunday I could eat it. I planned for a fork and coffee and eat till I couldn't. Small, personal and mine. Not so fast, he said WE could have it with Easter dinner. Oh no, we had to share it. After the shock, I smiled and said, did you buy ice cream. He gave me that loving smile and said of course.

God Bless those who travel through my little blog.

I am so excited...

I am the featured artist on Artfire for three days. June 22 through June 24th. I wrote the interview questions three months ago. So you can imagine that I am excited and a little apprehensive. Will I be surprised at what I wrote, will I understand what I wrote? Oh boy, I'm waiting to read it. Will I have to move underground, We'll see. If you want to see how I did here is the link. http://www.artfire.com/

I never felt that need to be in the front and pointed out, however, with all of us suffering from the economy, attention feels good. I hope again that in the future greeting card sending and receiving can have a come back. But for now this little bit of attention will feel good.

But the excitement doesn't end there. Northland Press of Outing and Crosslake, who also is suffering from the economy said they had heard from Artfire and would like to cover the feature spot in their paper. What a week, so for those who get the opportunity to shine, take the opportunity and shine. When so many small businesses feel down along with their customers sometimes the light that shines is brief but important.

God Bless those who follow me and those who just stop by.
