Back in the Saddle!

BACK IN THE SADDLE!
Well, Hello all my Pretties and Handsomes!!!
I AM HERE! (feels like I’m part of a bad re-make of Horton Hears a Who!) Please forgive me for my absence…truth is, I have felt too sick to be up at the computer. I just came back out of the hospital (after the usual “lights and sirens” trip into the hospital) This has gotten old! Complications from previous surgeries have left my body a bit ragged, but I am gaining strength again and miss my friends! You know the old saying “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger…well, it was touch and go for a few days and I was beginning to question the wisdom behind that one! But I should not…after all, I am this year’s version of the “Unsinkable Molly Brown! God is keeping me around for some reason and I truly believe you are all part of that reason…we are here to lift each other, and to grow each other into the best examples of people and Artists there are and I thank my group of friends for your contributions to my uplifting, during a difficult part of my life…yes,enough of this rambling…

One more thing before I go…


I am working on some new designs for a very important submission…well, important to me….I will let ya’ll know, when I know I’ve made t and give the juicy details right here…just don’t want to share too much yet as I don’t want to “Jinx” it, but I will start sharing some works in progress and would appreciate your feedback…be ready for some Teddy Bears and Prim soft dollies! Yes, I am taking it “back to the future”! Here is my first prim pumpkin…or at least its head!

Love and Friendship Always,

Carly Anne
