my baby girl got her drivers license.....

the baby is driving.
oh my.
rosie took her driver test yesterday and got her license.  this is great.  she is a careful driver, i am proud of her.  now what?
first the insurance - how much is that going to be?  next the car she is inheriting from her big sister.  very nice of you brookie.  how much will that be to fix up?   then, and most importantly, will i be able to say goodbye as she takes herself to swim practice and school and swim meets.......?  her swim schedule has been a killer, i admit.  its immediately after school 5 days a week.   she has to gulp down her lunch - then a 30 minute  drive to the beach (she swims in a pool there).  next,  her practice lasts generally between 2 - 3 or so hours.  this is a big, big time commitment, but she loves it.  its her choice.
if i can grow up and let her go it will be allowing me  an extra 5 hours a day!  imagine that.  5 hours a day - 25 hours a week, that's easily a part time job.
so for me; it will be allowing me more time to create and to create some more.
we will see.

busy, busy....

i have been frantic - very frantically cleaning and clearing my house because my mother in law (from italy) is coming to stay with us for awhile.  she comes this wednesday night.
i have talked of cleaning my house before but that was just baby talk compared to now.  i am in full on steam shovel mode.

so anyone who wants to drop by monday or tuesday or even wednesday to help me i would love that - you will not go home empty handed.

i promise generous rewards.

paris workshop photos - renee's session


renee is here teaching metal books and cracking jokes.  its always a pleasure to take a class from renee.  first is safety, then "there can never be too many holes"...........which was her mantra about making holes in the tincan books along with "more is more".

er, maybe it was "you can never have too many holes" which would be my mantra about me head.
