Change Coming . . . we all know it, the only thing constant in life is change. But, it's been a quiet and somber start to the New Year today. Stayed in my jammies all day, did laundry, worked a bit. Despite my execution of several superstitious rituals last night . . . I'm still sick after two weeks of some respiratory bug and my sister-in-law's dear mom passed away today. She always, always had such happy things to say every time I saw her - so loving. She will be missed and my heart aches for my sister-in-law. She so deserved a good run of good happy things and I feel so badly that her year is starting off so painfully.
Easing back in to the post holiday routine and back into work . . . new sheets in my Etsy. More coming soon! Have a great first week of the year!

I hope this year is a good one for you. I also hope you are feeling better! I feel terrible for not keeping in touch lately...that is going to change this year. I am very grateful to count you as a friend. The new collage is very cool, I see your creative wings stretching out! Take care my love!
Very inspirational collage, the colours are so fresh and cheerful.
Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law's loss, wishing you and your family all the best.
I wish you a year without pain... may happiness come your way and may dreams come true in 2011!
Marsha, I'm sorry that your year must start with sadness. Hopefully there will be less of that for you and more joy and blessings throughout 2011. I wish the best for you. Lorrie
Marsha, Love the new collage! May you have a Blessed New Year! So sorry to hear of your family's loss! Your family is in my prayers!
Happy New Year Marsha, may all your obstacles be aerobics for your creative imagination. Love and Hugs, Diane
So sorry to hear that you've been bitten by a nasty germ, but it's good to know that you're on the road to recovery. Love this new piece, Marsha! May your creative wings soar in 2011, My Friend!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
Fabulous new collage, Marsha! I love the symbolism of the winds of change. I hope you're feeling better soon. I wish you all the best in the coming year! *hugs*
Love this new collage, Marsha. I think it captures what you are feeling right now. I had that bug (fingers crossed it has left for GOOD) and I was so sick. Take care of yourself, and if you are still coughing in a couple of days, get thee to a doc. :) xox! Pam
oh no..still sick? good golly..i hope you feel better soon. sorry about the sad news. you are right it isn't a way to start off a new year..but then again death is never easy no matter when it happens. take good care of yourself! i'll look forward to seeing what you create in the new year!
Happy New Year, Marsha! I know more people who were sick over the holidays. I think all the germy-buggy things knew that 2011 was going to be such a good year that they all jumped in at the last minute to give it their best shot. 2011...it just rolls off the tongue. It's going to be a good one! - Kathy
Happy New Year Marsha-

Hope you feel better soon.

Sending good healing vibes your way! Slow starting myself. Cleaning closets...not so creative...but needed to be done.
Happy New Year Marsha! I love your new collage, something very inspirational about it I think!! I adore your new blog header! Every single detail, especially the fish! I'm so sorry for your sister in law, and that you have been sick. Better days ahead, love ya!!
Marsha honey I came by to wish you a very Happy New Year. I am so sorry to hear that it has started so painfully.
I have missed coming by here.
Tonight I put a new page on my site listing creative artist like yourself that sell their work and I was wondering if it was okay to have your site listed under it.
I titled the page Temptations.
Remember when I use to do the Temptation Mondays.
Happy New Year
Love
Maggie
