Wow, it has been a long 9 days since I've been here last. It seems like so much as happened to change my life since then.

First of all this UnGodly heat we are having! When we have 103F degree weather in June that Can't be good. And it's not like the weather is going to change anytime soon. It's supposed to be in the high 90's for the next week and a half... It's not good for people's personalities.
It's also kicking in alot of pain for me. The Fibromyalgia seems to respond to big weather changes, and unlucky for me, so does Arthritis. But, I guess I feel lucky still because I can mostly still get done what I need to around the house and still babysit Saige. I usually need a nap when the day is over, but I guess that is a small price to pay to be able to do what I do.
And I've also gotten to work on my art a lot more this month. That always makes me feel better. When I am working on a piece I don't feel any pain. I'm so involved in what I'm doing that I can't feel anything. Art is a wonderful drug. :)

I also found this really cool website called PenPal World. It has penpals from all over the world. You can find them by catagories.. I have 11 since I started about 5 days ago. They are from all over. Kenya, Australia, England, Ireland, India, Malaysia and so on..:)  I am so happy because they all seem like very nice and happy people. They have already added  alot to my life in just the short time they have been part of it :)

Tomorrow I go and have BJ brighten up the colors on my Tattoo Tree on my forearm. I'm looking forward to it being done, just not going thru it. The forearm is very tender and I still remember how much it hurt the first time..lol.. Plus I may have him add on a little extra.. I will see what he thinks tomorrow. I will have to take a pic so I can share it with all of you. :)
It is Me and my daughter Christal's special tattoo. She had me design it and then we both had it tattoo'd on the same arm in the same place. I also framed a copy of the original design for her and me and we both signed and dated it, so we would always remember when we had the tattoo done. :)
Christal is getting her half sleeve colored in tomorrow.. So we will be there a long time.. The last time he did my tree it took about an hour.. and Christal has a lot more to be done then me.. She had her tree tattoo done last time she was there.

I don't know if I ever showed any of you my Art Studio.. so I will.

If you walk all the way to the end you can turn left. There is another half a room there with more of my stuff.
We planned this studio for almost 3 years before it became a reality.. Now I have the room to work on any type of art I want to do. Drawing is my favorite, but I do like to experiment and try out new ways to do things with paint and wallpaper and designs and anything else I can think of.  :)
I also like to do wire wrapped jewelry. I collect antique jewelry too. I like clay too but don't mess with it nearly as much as I should. but then again, I only have so much time and energy in a day..lol

Well, think I'm done writing for tonight.. need a cup of coffee and need more sleep sometime..lol
Hope you are having a good week. :)
