I recently fought a battle with the flu that has left me racked with sparatic coughing fits. It gets so bad the strangers give me the evil eye for spreading the plague. I'm no longer contagious, just a victim to my own lapse in taking my asthma medication.

Besides that, I'm doing fine.

No final word on the big news yet, but when it comes, you guys will be the third to know.

The hubby and I are planning a major re-tooling on the ole-website. It needs a bit of freshening up. We're planning big changes-we'll see how it turns out.

I sent out a small, directed batch of postcards (using my hansel and gretel image) so I'll be glued to site meter for a few days.

I'm also germinating story ideas. When I first started out, I wanted to be a writer. Surprising huh? The illustration thing came secondary but turned into my passion. Now, I have the chance to write and illustrate my own ideas and am coming up with squat. I'm trying to just keep my mind open and hope something cool will float in.
