It has been over a year since I've posted, but we have moved to the Coastal Bend of Texas and it has been quite an adjustment. After living in North Texas for almost 20 years, being four miles from the Gulf of Mexico is like being on another planet.<br />
<br />
We also had a sad moment recently when we lost our beloved cat, ShuShu. She was featured in some previous posts and this beautiful girl is terribly missed. She was 14 years old and a big personality!<br />
<br />
Have a happy holiday and look for new project posts in the coming year!<br />

It is with great sadness I begin an overdue and long delayed blog post about the passing of our beloved Dalmatian, Oreo. In March of this year, Oreo became very ill. Within one week she was so seriously ill that we made one of the hardest decisions....to part with our girl, loving and faithful companion of ten and a half years, to mercifully spare her the agony of a disease we could not cure or control. Oreo was suffering from a previously undetected, deeply embedded, abdominal tumor. Causing her extreme pain, it was an aggressive invasive malignancy. After many tests and a week in the animal hospital, trying to determine a diagnosis and/or treatment, she became suddenly worse. We were told it might possibly be inoperable and if removed,the tumor would cause Oreo many weeks (most likely months) of chemo and painful rehab with a good chance it would return. We loved Oreo too much to let her suffer because of our selfish wish to keep her with us a few months longer. We were with her until the last breath and we have added her small wooden box of ashes to a growing collection of our "fur children". We miss her every day. ShuShu, our cat and her constant friend and companion, misses her very much too. <br />

It's not really a "blue Monday" since I have found my "MUSE" again and am on a creative roll! A wonderful thunderstorm and the approaching Autumn perked up my imagination!

After being snowed in for several days and so cold I couldn't sleep, I had to catch up! Eight or nine inches of snow may not sound like a lot, but in Fort Worth, it is a major event. Over 200,000 homes throughout the Metroplex had no electricity for several days. We were "trapped" in our home with no electricity or heat because of downed tree limbs and icy slopes. We packed our food in snow and burned every candle and flashlight we could find. We don't have a fireplace so no heat source was available and the temp in our house was forty degrees for three days! Hotels were full and taxis were scarce. It was a nightmare, but it is over and we are so thankful for all the things we take for granted....heat, hot food, transportation, lights!! Now, you know why I had to take a nap!! <br /><br />We still have lots of tree branches to cut up, a fence to repair, a downed power line in our driveway to avoid (until the power company makes it to our neighborhood). We are slowly returning to a normal schedule, but we just wanted to take a few moments to soak up the heat, hot water, warm food and lamplight!! Happy Belated Valentine's Day to everyone!<br /><br />art by JanetteArtAfterDarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15276080868488776596noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159471989935743748.post-48161926411683695592010-01-30T14:43:00.001-08:002010-01-30T14:53:17.093-08:00CELEBRATE ODD ETSY!On January 28, http://www.celebrateoddetsy.blogspot.com published three pieces of my art from my Etsy shop "ART AFTER DARK"!

Hope every one started the New Year with renewed hope for a great 2010. I have been absent from this blog and not tending my Etsy shops because I recently discovered I am unable to fly! I was injured when I tumbled down some stairs at a movie theatre and am recuperating. Nothing was broken, but I sure could have used some "fairy dust" and "lift off" as I plunged down those stairs! I feel fortunate to have only bumps and big bruises so I guess 2010 did start off "okay" for me. I should be walking without a cane by the end of the week and ready to start the New Year properly!<br /><br />art by JanetteArtAfterDarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15276080868488776596noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159471989935743748.post-2462131805675710962009-12-27T13:12:00.000-08:002009-12-27T13:26:37.311-08:00IS IT PARTY TIME YET?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbEQwOE-b_QpB1jRBFuNNgvE4Z5kKRMornrRXkNIiODkf-KLpCB57TP9-XpY_83WRYNKJAYrunAd7thxoe0skSLgtBjC7w0baNH70aRTWPJzpOExqxczJ4DICV4J1efayK_-448xFfiUBX/s1600-h/party+pal.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 227px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbEQwOE-b_QpB1jRBFuNNgvE4Z5kKRMornrRXkNIiODkf-KLpCB57TP9-XpY_83WRYNKJAYrunAd7thxoe0skSLgtBjC7w0baNH70aRTWPJzpOExqxczJ4DICV4J1efayK_-448xFfiUBX/s320/party+pal.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420028639673566866" /></a><br />Another Christmas is gone and 2010 is on the horizon! I, for one, am glad to see 2009 disappear over the hill! What a traumatic and crazy year. Life is not a rehearsal so it is time to move on and get the "party" started! Resolutions are in place and plans are being made! I'm going to have more fun this year than I have ever had before! How's that for Resolution No. 1....what are you resolving to do in 2010?! <br /><br />art by JanetteArtAfterDarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15276080868488776596noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159471989935743748.post-81359973725309873772009-12-21T01:45:00.000-08:002009-12-21T01:56:57.026-08:00HAPPY HOLIDAYS!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBv_62TNKScR2_NB7Cc8H-j8BpfM9Il10VXxZFdWFMmTgOexVTC_5ltXlzJ5ngwzOp8Nhc0-hgW63u8BpsbGV6t7w872aY0P9bYSlAX12FM8gEiPeSVAui9yehpMof941NZiNDl2vjS2Y_/s1600-h/surprise.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 231px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBv_62TNKScR2_NB7Cc8H-j8BpfM9Il10VXxZFdWFMmTgOexVTC_5ltXlzJ5ngwzOp8Nhc0-hgW63u8BpsbGV6t7w872aY0P9bYSlAX12FM8gEiPeSVAui9yehpMof941NZiNDl2vjS2Y_/s320/surprise.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417624902190905602" /></a><br />HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND WISHES FOR A SAFE AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvBkIzT9iuBZ1AskVmY2j_WXyJkz1l11ghhZhd2KiHIiJLBOyDqiuifrpwXTF30108aJdG0D05M9XcnsPu1Y3HEMjaemejAvUa2_CMVdCBYg8QdPxjRmaIGIjcN9mT3ycMXM_sOMWAouhL/s1600-h/naughty+kitty.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 234px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvBkIzT9iuBZ1AskVmY2j_WXyJkz1l11ghhZhd2KiHIiJLBOyDqiuifrpwXTF30108aJdG0D05M9XcnsPu1Y3HEMjaemejAvUa2_CMVdCBYg8QdPxjRmaIGIjcN9mT3ycMXM_sOMWAouhL/s320/naughty+kitty.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417625489392362002" /></a><br />All you "naughty cats" know who you are....let's do better next year! <br /><br />art by JanetteArtAfterDarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15276080868488776596noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159471989935743748.post-45096495740110579262009-12-21T01:41:00.000-08:002009-12-21T02:05:22.175-08:00MERRY......??<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSfbYW1x1OgtpBV49MRsc4x24R1JTwBCMfsaL-Yq7EnIgyLN3KcyX10Iy_YKIxTKkF9HLFN3Gegec9EzG1KddDMxpaibbONhO8SOLTYIx2ZCzadOCrPnyrupTvOqQNRGBLl0YsBEpU9sG/s1600-h/09sexy-and-funny-xmas-pics.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSfbYW1x1OgtpBV49MRsc4x24R1JTwBCMfsaL-Yq7EnIgyLN3KcyX10Iy_YKIxTKkF9HLFN3Gegec9EzG1KddDMxpaibbONhO8SOLTYIx2ZCzadOCrPnyrupTvOqQNRGBLl0YsBEpU9sG/s320/09sexy-and-funny-xmas-pics.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417622317624861170" /></a><br />Well, some folks know how to celebrate!<br /><br />HO Ho ho!<br />Ten months to Halloween and counting!ArtAfterDarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15276080868488776596noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159471989935743748.post-74235310597983791952009-12-06T18:36:00.001-08:002009-12-06T18:42:21.802-08:00SEND CANDY!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWHzqhi900bovMbuKOVcAHrT3QvJyhdh7eljiV5aNU5_1XTrEOyD-kGnHe4Opcy_UJ9eqNHbVTICVtvyp7gS_BaTxINEa7BmQh_qYx1efTbCtAFrshdAHPjtyDbjM50H6tEjVjPKTLDE0m/s1600-h/sugar+high.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWHzqhi900bovMbuKOVcAHrT3QvJyhdh7eljiV5aNU5_1XTrEOyD-kGnHe4Opcy_UJ9eqNHbVTICVtvyp7gS_BaTxINEa7BmQh_qYx1efTbCtAFrshdAHPjtyDbjM50H6tEjVjPKTLDE0m/s320/sugar+high.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412318271821647378" /></a><br />Well....what is Christmas without a sugar high!?

I'm still basking in the glow of my favorite holiday...HALLOWEEN! Christmas is delightful because I never get enough twinkle lights, but I resent a full blown presentation before Thanksgiving! We don't have time to slow down and savor each celebration and their meanings. By New Year's Day, I'm shell-shocked and glad I survived another "holiday season"....wondering if I had fun and barely remembering the details! Maybe better preparation and less bah-humbugging would be in order for a grump like me! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ONE AND ALL!
