(Don't worry...we had cheesecake left for four days!!!)<br /><br />If I miss your birthday you should know that I think it is one of the most fabulous celebrations ever and I would definitely wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-dE7bg9MhqS_ThHaBPYNCCtgyV2Q_3mSyr1Z6IqKuFrefh4sJaG5Bs4He6szt4PMnY90MAkTXf1ieX1G0BM-zflXrmPcGAMc3CERoMZFf7ebjJxBn0fYiyf7wyTBIzIngPctk3Ipsp8/s1600-h/DSCN0860.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-dE7bg9MhqS_ThHaBPYNCCtgyV2Q_3mSyr1Z6IqKuFrefh4sJaG5Bs4He6szt4PMnY90MAkTXf1ieX1G0BM-zflXrmPcGAMc3CERoMZFf7ebjJxBn0fYiyf7wyTBIzIngPctk3Ipsp8/s400/DSCN0860.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306326162874874178" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div></div>Staci Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13470304899686871796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316118958189732015.post-20804113362507620082009-02-01T21:43:00.000-08:002009-02-24T22:26:46.664-08:00WWAO February Exhibit - FlowArtist, Jean Levert Hood hosted February's WWAO online exhibit "Flow".

I hate shopping (Etsy and direct from artists is the exception) and losing blood isn't always a good thing...<br /><br />But, Etsy member gurapu created an Etsy Treasury featuring some beautiful work with colors that are absolutely delicious! She was gracious enough to include one of my Signature Swirl Polymer Clay Pendants! You can view until Monday, January 5th just by clicking the image!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=30821"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxq41LstZ4MkHQkRqc7coLWkk-Pc5pNpBNGiBLLPVCXYgqlkgnmLD-OP6wmsT9hIlrxupQLAESpBHtOQmTDZqP_l2ROaJbgXBcQLhz7kWtJeifHt8GzKNe9l52xpZxctz5kexx9q-csA/s400/shoppinvsloseblood.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287237756653008578" border="0" /></a>Staci Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13470304899686871796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316118958189732015.post-66601028269321619232009-01-01T16:35:00.000-08:002009-01-03T16:54:57.668-08:00New Year...Already or Finally?!!!This year has been up and down for so many of us. Financial fears, layoffs, bailouts, home foreclosures...not to mention those experiencing, theft, medical issues (and by issues I do meant treatment AND insurance companies & HMO's...), as well as the myriad complications between people and nations...<br /><br />For me, it was a year of chronic pain, surgeries, medications, therapy (of all kinds!), relationship building and collapses. Each year my nieces and nephews grow is a year I've had to love them more.<br /><br />My artistic creations have slowed as my body adjusts to the new symptoms and limitations. Sometimes I feel trapped inside myself and sometimes I feel like I can't wait to get the artistic images out of my head and create the reality...every day is different.<br /><br />I do wish all of you reading this, health, and joy - because if you don't have your health, you'd better keep a great sense of humor.<br /><br />I wish better for your lives and the lives of people you love. That attaining dreams is a firm belief no matter if you did have to take a temp job in the meantime.<br /><br />When the blizzard is over, the sky is new, and the ground is covered in soft snow and possibilities. Never believe there are no options...and give as many hugs as you can, human touch is truly underrated!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Have a wonderful 2009 and every day afterwards!<br /></span></div>Staci Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13470304899686871796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316118958189732015.post-57939815572633552792008-12-26T16:08:00.000-08:002009-01-03T16:30:01.274-08:00After the Storm, Look Here...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_rTA0WkIOrQVJPke8jkBAYdDEfw-msy5k0P4UCNeD-xItUr1UONVns9vcoYkBu7TQ_ltNXUc2F36Pm3QXQhIKjM6BmsSBQour5u-1UrFuuhol9JBuH8jIZPdP7z5A468eQ85xE0Gg4JQ/s1600-h/DSCN3043.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 136px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_rTA0WkIOrQVJPke8jkBAYdDEfw-msy5k0P4UCNeD-xItUr1UONVns9vcoYkBu7TQ_ltNXUc2F36Pm3QXQhIKjM6BmsSBQour5u-1UrFuuhol9JBuH8jIZPdP7z5A468eQ85xE0Gg4JQ/s200/DSCN3043.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287228544376186258" border="0" /></a>I think that's the word I'd use...'storm'. Celebrating, parties, phone calls and packages sent to family all over the globe, cooking, baking, wrapping, card writing, trips to the post office and supermarkets. Not to mention, the driving to Thanksgiving at my cousin's - seeing how each niece and nephew, cousin and friend has changed over the past year.<br /><br />And, then there were storms! Black ice in Portland, OR, 15" of snow in Boston, MA, tornado and blizzards in Mississippi...and, there was a complain about rain in Las Vegas but I didn't feel too badly.<br /><br />Unfortunately, in while swatting away random wrapping paper and flying boxing tape, I completely missed Heide Hibbard's fabulous Etsy Treasury until the last hour! She included a pair of my gemstone earrings and the entire color scheme is extremely fun.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvDuapbdcjVdWP6oyVB4JJgRyH-f5c3CkcYjeWrCYUR81_JqSgZljf79Aetzu9DTXV7pTa3PCJHsXH2Ek3O637Pf95xcv4JZMLZ2Suja5uD7mUPOjrpLLfdUZ5ccg1-mTKhs6Wk5FzOKs/s1600-h/afterthestorm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvDuapbdcjVdWP6oyVB4JJgRyH-f5c3CkcYjeWrCYUR81_JqSgZljf79Aetzu9DTXV7pTa3PCJHsXH2Ek3O637Pf95xcv4JZMLZ2Suja5uD7mUPOjrpLLfdUZ5ccg1-mTKhs6Wk5FzOKs/s400/afterthestorm.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287225935638356994" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Hieide Hibbard</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Fine Art Paintings & Fine Art Gifts</span><br /><br />What you see in my artwork is the expression of what I feel and think.

I started making jewelry about 25 years ago. After a couple of classes at a local college, I was hooked!! I love BEADS....working with wire....chainmaille.....I just really love designing jewelry.<br /><br />I didn't make jewelry as a child, but I did "collect" rhinestones from my mothers jewelry!!! I kept them all in a tiny vial. I would take them out just to touch them.... show them to my uninterested friends. I still love taking out my beads and just looking at them and showing them, at times, to my uninterested friends!!! So I guess some things really never change.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://designingit.etsy.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 53px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMzJFRAwyhp0SqMQUFlM4KHlXkBW4W-nGPCx3nGXl9IASCE0-Uk2dR80Sr-W4BdwlSIMy1o42fARGsL_7sjSVm1HXm6tITmFBg004UYpMKARpbp-ElStqrYZSotHuTtGRPIxkiqEccsqw/s400/iusb_760x100.5829176.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276549864946008418" border="0" /></a>Staci Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13470304899686871796noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316118958189732015.post-32785548655856373002008-12-05T20:56:00.000-08:002008-12-05T21:15:45.857-08:00Sweet DealThe BiscottiQueen is queen for a reason!

I was concerned...I was waiting in a long line, and the postal workers looked busy, except for the manager (for the life of me I have no idea what he does other than smile as he walks past customers and employees...). And, the sound wasn't coming from anyone in line...it was coming from the air. The music of the holidaze I would be inadvertently consuming via my delicate ears for the next month. And, the music doesn't care if I'm Jewish.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://wrinklegrin.etsy.com"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 53px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9CBorc422CS4LwoIJzqCAPLgp4nDJWGJ72HMKOocUXn_Uk-fZNezGi11CLI4CsEwzznmrOeqHQMb6Ioa92PTm3n72bAwfKxovLVYdJG6YP5QzZDMjCuhtFC0Rg6tvNhn6aqz5ESf5qEY/s400/iusb_760x100.5178219.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275704887681351042" border="0" /></a><br />But, Elizabeth Fiedel of Wrinklegrin Studio knows that the holiday season encompasses more than the regurgitation of the same ten toe-tapping, mind-numbing songs!

I am an afghan junkie! I LOVE them...almost all of them. The women in my family all know how to make them and when I see one it just takes me back to warmth and family and security. There's nothing better (maybe chocolate!) than getting cozy with an afghan, something you know someone worked hard on, to bring comfort and that "oh I feel much better now" feeling.<br /><br />2. DH's big contribution to this list was Butterfly Kisses. My father and mother and aunt and grandparents always used to give me Butterfly Kisses. It's when you take your eyelashes, get real close to someone's cheek, and flutter your eyelashes against their skin...their cheek usually. If you get really good at it, you can do it eyelash to eyelash! I love it, think it's sweet, and DH thinks it's odd.<br /><br />3. I live in an apartment complex with a lovely courtyard in the middle of several buildings. I've lived here almost six years but this year our gardener as been MIA. So, I've been pulling weeds, removing the dead flowers from the rhododendron so they can bloom again, and generally keeping an eye out for the welfare of the plants. It got to the point where new tenants were asking me if I was The Gardener...<br /><br />4. I don't like diamonds. Really, never have. I love gemstones, the colors and surprises they can hold, but I do not like diamonds. I find them somewhat boring and would rather a sapphire or fire opal.<br /><br />5. For some reason, I give nick-names. Always people I love or have a strong relationships with. My nieces and nephews are as follows: Chicken, The Kid, Princess, and My Sunshine. I have a bunch for DH...most of them good.<br /><br />6. I am a messy person. I like to blame it on the artistic license, but I know where everything is located. You may not be able to see it in the boxes or under the bags but I know where all my belongings are hiding.<br /><br />7. I can not tell a joke. I am a very funny person with a great sense of humor. I can make people laugh all the time. However, when it comes to telling a joke, it might as well be in Middle English because I suck at it! But, I'm more of an intuitive person and can get to the humor that belongs to that particular person and have them on the floor, crying while they're also laughing!<br /><br />I don't know if this is considered unusual...we all have our quirks, abilities, and preferences. I thank Torrie for tagging me - she is a wonderful person and stunning artist, I have never seen anyone paint water as beautifully as she can.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I'd like to tag the following fabulous artists:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.dianeclancy.com/blog">Diane Clancy</a></span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://heidehibbard.livejournal.com/">Heide Hibbard</a></span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://wickeddollz.blogspot.com/">Noelle Hunt</a></span><br /><br /><a href="http://gilflingsdesigns.typepad.com/">Gillian Lee Smith </a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://sidheforest.blogspot.com/">Sidhe Kalas</a></span><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://maryannkudera.blogspot.com/">Maryann Kudera</a><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=51501652">Jennifer Busby Matas</a><br /></div>Staci Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13470304899686871796noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316118958189732015.post-28760017194772945212008-11-24T19:11:00.000-08:002008-11-24T19:16:51.253-08:00Functional Art - WWAO November Online Exhibit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisw7E3zadWeWqjdrYjRif5T5WFZfT6lQsnykP3Nl_yQ9KaQjv5A_GeX30r0zp7_u7i-rHAIxlwRTAy28D53uIEYYKgabfNZDV5UGc7pAHtZC5jBurOZwSLLYRF2dMyFIFFVwUzzDI9p_M/s1600-h/wwaologourl.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 169px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisw7E3zadWeWqjdrYjRif5T5WFZfT6lQsnykP3Nl_yQ9KaQjv5A_GeX30r0zp7_u7i-rHAIxlwRTAy28D53uIEYYKgabfNZDV5UGc7pAHtZC5jBurOZwSLLYRF2dMyFIFFVwUzzDI9p_M/s400/wwaologourl.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264703624862140866" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Worldwide Women Artists is an international collective of women </span><span style="font-family:arial;">artists showing and selling our original art through the worldwide web.
