Absence makes the heart grow fonder

I have published a post in this blog every day just shy of seven months (with the exception of a few days during a power outage when I didn't have WiFi). It began as a challenge to myself to post every day for just one month, and somehow I just kept going. It has been an illuminating process and I have loved it. In doing research for blog posts, I have come up with new ideas and inspiration that have led to all kinds of new paths. I am now pursuing wholesale distribution of my Petal People cards, have a new gallery show in the works, plus I have my hands in many new places .. not to mention way too many custom orders! All this new work — and the fact that school is ending and summer vacation comes soon with lots of plans (World Cup soccer!) and travel (an RV trip across 8 states!) — means that I have to use every minute of my time carefully. I will be posting much less frequently, probably only once a week or so, and we'll see what happens from there. Like my art, it's an exploration and I'll see where it takes me. I figure if I am gone for a little while, you'll miss me and love me that much more when I am back!
