Someone Likes My Stuff

-
Gotta share this! A local shop here in my town that sells local artists' work, ask me if I would create one-of-a-kind greeting cards and decorative gift tags to be sold in that shop. Of course, at first I panicked. Then, I thought, "why not?" My stuff is as good as anybody else's, so I have delivered my first 15 cards and have 6 gift tags ready to deliver. I am actually getting paid to create. No timeline, or stress involved. The owner is just interested in keeping a ongoing supply in her shop. So far, I have been able to create using what I have here in the studio available without buying extra supplies. Eventually, tho, I will have to restock some little detail stuff, stamps and stamp pads.

Life is good. I will never get rich, but I made enough last week to pay for my haircut and a Frosty at Wendy's. Not bad for a couple of days work!!

Until next time,
Go, create something!!

Church and State

Just this week I read a post on the infamous Facebook that, to sum it up, blamed all the crisis going on in our country, namely the racial uprising, on taking God out of the schools. The ol’ separation of church and state issue that’s been going on for decades.   This whole posting did nothing but make me angry!   It certainly displayed ignorance on the part of the writer! Any educator in a public school, or most of them anyhow, will attest that God is alive and well in our school systems. As an educator I saw Him every day, and even though I’ve been retired for a decade, I know He still is there. He is there in the classroom every minute of every day holding that teacher together as he or she faces a room of children of any age. Some days that classroom feels like a battlefield, but God is there. He is there in the hallways in the smiling faces of students and staff. He is there in the lunchroom as the lunch personnel serve nourishing meals to students that might not get ...

The Paths not Taken

-
 I often wonder how my life would be if I had not taken the paths that I did. There was a time when I thought about majoring in art in college. One or two classes with the art prof convinced me that that was not going to be a great career choice. I don't know whether it was lack of talent, or just that the professor and I didn't have the same meeting of the minds. I loved making art then as much as I do now, but my kind of art didn't fit into the "frame" that the prof set forward. Now days, I am sure that artists in the making are given much more freedom than we were in the early 1960s. Then there was the girl that I dated forever. All the way through HS and my first year of college. She was a real sweet gal and we enjoyed each other's sense of humor and had a great time together. I wonder how life would have gone if she and I had continued life together. Probably not too well. I think she advanced beyond me after she finished college and moved on to work for ...

With no, or at most one follower, this blog seems like it's not worth my time. So, not even with a heavy heart, I am closing it out and will no longer be blogging on here or anywhere else. Thanks to the one person that followed my blog loyally. I appreciate you! Goodbye! Keep creating, JF
