Amy The Angel :)

Something very exciting happened this past week for me in my "art world" --- I sold 3 black & white prints that are going to be used for an interior design project!! My friend Amy called me last week to tell me her boss is doing the interior design work at the St. Regis Resort on Topsail Island and was interested in 3 of my prints!! ME....MY PRINTS....will be hanging in the lobby of the St. Regis....Amy is an angel and deserves as much of the credit for this wonderful thing happening to me as anyone! So, with very little time to complete this project, I had to work with items that were readily available and I got the photos printed up and shipped to me next day air, bought what I could find at Michaels, and got everything framed and got the order delivered on Saturday. Only one small detail caused a moment of panic, but that was taken care of, and now I have some of my work that will be able to be seen at the St. Regis Resort!! Exciting and THANK YOU AMY YOU SWEET ANGEL!!! Oh yea, the one little blip in this whole thing was when I went to pull the framed pieces out, the glass was shattered in one frame and I was literally ready to pull out of the driveway to deliver the prints to the interior designer....OH $#!& is what I thought, but luckily enough I had an extra frame at the beach with the size glass I needed and I quickly exchanged the glass and all was well. Oscar, with his big ol' carcass, stepped on the frame and broke the glass...and here I was worried the whole time he would chew up the corner of the frame during the ride to the beach. On a recent trip to the beach Oscar decided to chew up the corners of a new art book I had in the back of the car....now, what possessed him to do that I will never know. Oscar is not one for chewing anything up, but sure enough, I had a brand new art book I had received as a "thank you for shopping with us" type gift from a place I had purchased some art from and so I thought I'd just carry the book to the beach and use on the coffee table there....yeah, right, not if the Oscar had anything to do with it! Like I say, a book was completely off the chart for him. Now, had it been an entire pizza or a foot long sandwich from a sub shop, then maybe I would get it, but a book.....completely out of character for Oscar. If it isn't food, typically I have no worries when it comes to Oscar, but once I was behind the wheel of the car, and Angus was in his usual spot in the car, which is standing at my shoulder wanting to get in the front seat, the worries started to creep in and start picking at me, and those worries kept right under the surface until we reached the halfway point and I exited to get gas and opened up the back doors of the vehicle, only to see everything was okay. Well, at least okay at that time. I am just guessing that after we let Oscar out at the rest area and he jumped back up in the rear of the car he must have stepped on the pictures as he was getting himself resituated for the rest of the ride to the beach and that's probably when the glass shattered. But, all's well that ends well and all that jazz!

What In The World...

Do you ever wonder what in the world is wrong with you?!?!! Me, I wonder that very thing more often than not. I signed up to create a blog for Coastal Sisters, only to get delayed and sidetracked, then LuLu beat me to the punch and came up with our Coastal Sisters Diary blog....so enjoy that, she's a riot that one! As for me, I will keep this blog and add to LuLu's tales and adventures. I will post here as often as possible but my time is usually extremely limited. LuLu will keep you posted on all our "goings on" and I will try to write from time to time. Much love to all of my friends for their love and support through this whole new adventure for me and Lu...we love you all and appreciate your support. For those of you that are "too twisted for color TV" ......and you know who you are :) .....I love you each and every one of you, more than words can say! With love from the beach....Lisa
