Dear Family and Friends

Some of you know (or some of you are going through the same experience--wink wink) that I am taking an "Indie Biz" class. I am learning how to start an online business venture. It is new and exciting and so encouraging!

One of the things I am learning is that my passion for arts and crafts is NOT separate from my personal life. They mesh together all the time. The things that happen in my life have impact on my creativity and vise versa.

So, to be a more effective communicator (blogger), time manager, and soon to be independent business woman, I am going to keep just one blog. If you are currently following this blog or this is the blog bookmarked in your favorites, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it, if you could instead follow and/or bookmark this site: www.passionpursenality.blogspot.com.

Look forward to more posts, more often! It is still a work in progress so, keep with me.

I am grateful for you all!

Chris:)

St. Patty's Day

On St. Patty's Day, Mike and his brother Dan played traditional Irish music at a local restaraunt/pub. It was a blast! Their two hour time slot turned into 4 as people kept tipping for more music. It was fun for me to have some girl time with my ladies too!


This is Amy. St. Patty's day is her favorite.


This is definitely the crowd favorite--played 4 times during the night.

There She Is...

The birthday girl. My Dear Sister-in-Law. Isn't she beautiful? AND look at her bouquet in the back. She is in a floral design class. I think with her floral design and organization skills and my designs and photography, we'd make a wonderful one stop wedding shoppe. Eh? Eh? It's just my newest way to co-erse her and David to move here to EC.

Happy Birthday Karin

I made this cake for Karin's birthday. If you want to know how I made the flower,visit: www.passionpursenality.blogspot.com.

Awesome.

I finished it...just in time for SPRING.

First Indie Biz Assignment

Our first "assignment" was to create our portfolio for our workbook. I created most of it digitally and printed it out. I used a digital kit called "Outside the Lines" by Ashalee Wall and Taylor Made designs. I also used one paper from Holly McCaig.
