I was lucky enough to be published in Polymer Clay Cafe. Thank you Trina Williams for the article and asking me. I appreciate that and you!

It was one of the reasons that I had to get a new picture. That, and the other was over 6 years old. I fought them all the way on this. ;-D
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
How can get it get any better than that?

Something happened Friday :-O

I know it seems the same on the outside here, but something happened Friday that rocked my world.

Cynthia Tinapple from Polymer Clay Daily mentioned my little switch plate and my series tutorial on the African Trade beads, she also mentioned a bit of our history in polymer clay.  You can see it here http://polymerclaydaily.com/2011/05/20/polymer-family-history/

"On this blog I showcase the best polymer clay art online to inspire and encourage you."
 from the Polymer clay Daily Blog

This is a big deal in the Polymer Clay World (Oprah big) and I am humbled by the response and by the large number of comments and out pouring of thanks and cheers!
You are so welcome!

I just have to say that I could have never done this with out the help and support of my dear hubby Howard who just wanted to be a stay at home dad.
He did that!! Well done Howard and along the way he also gave me the encouragement and push that an artist sometimes needs.

Thank you Cynthia, so much, I can not even begin to word how I feel and how much this means to me.
Blessings all over you!
And thank you Howard, you are the best!
What a long strange trip it has been. ;-D

Happy Monday to you all, welcome to new friends, and be kind to each other and change the world, one smile at a time.
