Back to Work


Image found via Internet


Well folks, it's been a while. I have had a lovely holiday. We just got home on Monday evening and I finally got the aftermath of Christmas picked up and packed away. A sort of cleansing if you will. A putting away of the years remains. Ready for a new year full of dreams and hopes and vision. A year full of promise, hope, and changes. This year will be a good year just like the one before. I am sure of it. I will grab this year by the horns and enjoy the crazy ride, like I have so many years before. I hope to accomplish a few simple goals. Live a more Christ centered life, be a better wife and mother, focus only on the good things in life, get healthy & fit and stay that way, and last but not least art, art & more art. All of these goals have little steps that will help me accomplish each and every step of each and every goal. I won't bore you with the details. I will however keep blogging, a journal if you will, of me trying to live a more artful and beautiful life. I hope this new year brings much happiness and goodness to you and yours.

A Letter to Sloan's Teacher

"An Apple for the Teacher"

Dear Mrs. Prouty, 

If I had millions and millions of dollars I would give some of it to you. Since I don't, I am giving you this apple instead. You spend your days doing what many only wish they had enough patience to do. Teaching our little ones all the things that we had to learn oh so many years ago. You are a  super hero of sorts. You must be. You do all the things super hero's do except without a cape. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher to Sloan. I hope you have a Merry Christmas with your family and a very happy New Year.

Yours Truly,
Summer Swanson
