School Year Postings

I will be going back to work next week, so it's going to start getting difficult for me to post regularly as a school administrator.  This will be even more difficult, since I also have to start my readings for my seminarian classes, which start during the first weekend in September.  I will continue to work on my artwork, since it's part of my being.  However, blogging takes time, so I'll need to cut back to posting only when I have the luxury of extra time.  I thank you for the visits, thoughtful comments, and the inspiration you provided me with through your  personal blog postings this summer.  It was fun!  Anyway, without further ado, here's some of my work:

Happy 16th, McCabe!
Tim Holtz Pipeline and Planks dies, Riveted Metal embossing folder, & Travel design tape;  Ranger Distress ink pads, alcohol inks, & acrylic paint dabbers; PearlEx powdered pigments; and more.

Hi Arnoldo, I was thinking that you'd only just started your summer break and now you're off to work again. I especially love the Tim Holtz Pipeline card. The photograph of the Cormorant is interesting. We have them in the UK but they seem to have longer beaks so are obviously a different type. Thanks for the visit to mine, I shall be keeping my eye on what you're up to. Happy woyww, Angela xXx

You definitely should NOT give up your art, it can be your saving grace when things get stressful at work! You make such beautiful things as well, and we would all want to see them - how about just one little blog post on Wednesdays or Tuesday evenings? Have a great school year, and thanks for your visit, Lindart #32

I am always inspired by your art, but I understand the time it takes to create a blog post. I LOVE that first card with the steampunk feel to it. Of course I love all your art, and each piece is fabulous, as is the photo you took. Thanks for the earlier visit. Happy WOYWW from # 1. Have a wonderful semester at school.

Hi Arnoldo. I wish you God's richest blessings in your new post. Love the text - I'm sure you will constantly be reminded of it as you work within admin and find frustrations! The cormorant photo is lovely - you were in the right place at the right time there!!
Take care. God bless.

Dear Arnoldo I will surely miss your beautiful art projects and posts but I completely understand. I've noticed many bloggers that have stopped are regular on Instagram now so I am enjoying that very much- no thought goes into any long postings:) Perhaps you might look into that as a way to stay in touch? Either way I am happy for you to continue doing all that you love and sharing it with everyone. All the best to you and your family. Blessings, and happy PPF!
