after a week of flu then family visits with the mandatory sightseeing. The hubby challenged me to take a break for the week and re-charge. At first, I thought it was impossible. Not draw for a week, sacrilege! I am an art-teest, I must create constantly.

But, I did it. With family around it wasn't so hard and I do feel better, ready and raring to go.

here are a few pics:
