Hi Yall on Saturday!
I have several things to write about and one of them is, I am going to enjoy part of my day visiting yall's blogs and make comments! Yay!!! I'm so excited!
Kenzie is happy about that too because she can lay in my lap and watch the computer screen. Have any of your cats or house pets ever done that? The other day I was watching a short video in an e-mail a friend sent to me and Kenzie was in my lap and she was watching it very intensely because the sound was on and she was listening as well as watching, then she looked up at the speaker and then at the man talking and then she looked back at me and said quietly "Meow?" and then she looked up on the screen again, then smelled it and then patted it with her paw and then she shouted "MEEEOOOOWWWW!!!!!" and flew out of my lap! Well, of course I don't have a video of that, but it was so funny and she continues to jump on my lap to snuggle & watch the computer. Right now though she is laying on her grayish blanket that Peggy made, which is on my small couch in this room I am in.
Talking about Peggy and her blankets, well, Kenzie continues to hog both of my blankets that Peggy made and one of them is mine really, because it's really a shawl and is on my bed....above is a picture of her, I kindly wrapped it around her to help her be warm and cozy.
Hey, here's a game for yall!
Find the kitty in this picture!
I have more news about Peggy from Peggy's Place! Did yall know that she is quite the artist, yet she won't admit it! Here are 2 things she sent to me that she made! They are so fabulous too! I was attracted to these bright orange flowers that I just had to buy to put in this gorgeous vase she made!
And from time to time, I will probably change around the flowers. She suggested lilies and I think these are lilies, but they are a bright orange that looks perfect in my living room, yet next time I'm at Hobby Lobby or Michaels, where ever, I may just pick me up some white lilies. I LOVE her vase!!!! I desperately needed a vase, and who knew, it was magical.....Peggy somehow knew. I hope yall visited the article I wrote about cat blogs and if you haven't, yall must! You can find all my links on the right side of this page and each one I've got posted has a link to the particular article. I had to take out the music of the 2nd and 3rd darling cat bloggers videos,amongst others, having to do with some technical issues, but Peggy's music that she chose is still there, at least I hope so!
Now here is another treat Peggy made and sent to me! I have one of these as I think they are so beautiful, but the jeweler that made them bought it already made and she made a necklace I bought from her. They are made out of Dichroic Glass Beads and are very difficult to make as well. Peggy took a class and made this one, which is and I will defiantly proudly wear it, because I absolutely love to wear jewelry and this is one of my many tastes in jewelry wear and especially handmade!:
I adore the little pink bag it came in too. I collect them and they are displayed in my special place in my big bathroom along with my special jewelry, where, of course, Peggy's Necklace hangs.
Thank you so much Peggy! I will cherish your pieces forever!Next on my list of things to tell yall is, I have a new article on Indiesmiles. You can also find the link on the right side of my page and it's about one of my favorite artists. She is so interesting along with being overly talented. I own one of her pieces I have mentioned before in older posts:
I have a personal meaning for loving that piece so much, but yall will have to go see the article I wrote about her and learn who she is that inspires her to do her wonderful art. You can go to this link: www.indiesmiles.com since it's on the home page right now, or just click on the picture on the top right under my followers to take you there. The comments will be there so please make a comment. They are so important to me, and who knows, someday I may approach one of yall to do an article about as well!
And on my last news, which is very disturbing to me is, someone here in Houston has stolen my identity. I got a letter from the electric company that I was a co-signer of a customer that had an outstanding bill of 400.00 and that would be applied to my next phone bill. It gave their address and Electricity account number. I was mortified and had a feeling I had been raped, which I have been ages ago, so I can say that. I called the Electric company and told them the story, and so far nothing has been changed but that they were going to be doing an investigation. I will know what happens in a matter of 5 to 10 days. I am not paying that bill what so ever, if I have to go to court or take a lie detector test, this person will not get my money, or rather, the electricity people won't get my money. Since I am innocent, let's see if the system works. Now why would I co-sign when I don't even have a credit card and I'm on disability? Good Grief!!!
On that note:
I am now going to take a wonderful journey into yall's blog worlds!
Have a wonderful Saturday to all of yall!
I know I will!
Linda :)

I just wanted to put out the word again about my contest! Please read my instructions carefully. I love that yall want one of my pieces, but in order to win, I need yall to follow the steps to have a chance! I may even have 3 winners if I get enough people to participate!
Indiesmiles is having a give away, or let's say it's practically a give away!
It's amazing how content my kitty Kenzie is while she is lying on the edge of the bed getting as close to the heater as she possibly can! Sorry I woke her up,but I had to capture this pose while I could.
Ok, I woke her up even more, but that did not last as she went back to her la la land very quickly. Why is she not in her comfy bed and blanket you see in the background? She is risking falling off the bed to be by that space heater! 
Well, Whew!!! My last Art Festival this past Saturday at the First Saturday's Art Festival was great! Mitch, the owner teamed me up with a perfect buddy who does beautiful detailed painting and photos do not do her justice! The weather could not have been prettier either!
Now I would like to show yall some of my pieces although some of them were sold, I do plan on making some similiar to them. As yall know my work is all One of a Kind, so I never can repeat them exactly, except for the prints of course! I think yall will get a kick out of some of these pieces and I also show more views on my Etsy Website. The little one's on canvas also comes with an eisel, either black or natural. With what I spend on the canvas and eisel, I barely make anything on my labor, and people that are not artists do not understand that part! Oh well. You just do what you love to do no matter what!
Well, as yall can see....I've been busy!!!
