we are having a heatwave over here,, which is unusual in my little corner of the world,, as normally we are more temperate.. between the heat and the hand fulls of sinus and allergy meds i am imbibing every few hours,, it is safe to say my creativity is currently impaired,, so i think i will stick with a newsy post today,, something i rarely do,, but i feel like it is about all i can handle this morning…
many of you may have already noticed that i am sporting a gorgeous new paisley header on this blog,, and a whole new paisley look over on just paisley….. my ever so talented friend sherrie from happy tiler is to be credited with the creation of them both.. she took a huge block of time out of her already busy schedule to revise,, redo,, and otherwise recreate,, these beautiful headers to fit my vision,, and i want to thank her from the bottom of my heart for all of her time and effort,, and mainly just for the generosity and love that she showed in offering to make them for me…
i have long been a fan of her work,, both her art and her poetry,, and feel honored that she would make me something so personal,, so unique… anyone who doesn’t already frequent her blog, ought to pop in over there and have a look at her beautiful combination of original art and poetry,, you will be thrilled that you did…
secondly,, i have accepted an invitation to become a contributing writer on a composite site called the society of midnight wanderers.. it seems to be a rather eclectic bunch from all over the world,, and includes some very fine writers and poets,, many of whom i am reading for the first time so i am looking forward to getting to know them all better… i have added their avatar to my side bar,, so if you want to drop in and have a look at my first post, a poem i call “second chance”,, just click on the avatar (or the link) and it will take you over there…
well i guess i will go bury my head in the proverbial sand,, and repost some more lost images on just paisley… yes,, i am still mucking thru all of that mire,, but i have …why paisley??? and secret… secret… all put back together,, so i am over half way there….
in closing i would just like to thank everyone that reads and comments on any or all of my blogs every day,, you inspire me to belive i am capable of great things,, and even if i never achieve them,,, knowing you belive in me,, has made all the difference…….

I should be the one thanking you. You inspire me every day and have often made me pick myself up when I have thought ‘it’s all too much.’. I will check out those blogs you’ve mentioned (I am always up for some great writing) and hope your allergies ease soon.

Welcome to the Midnight Wanderers Society! I was going to ask JD and Mike if I could invite you, but just hadn’t gotten around to it yet. I’m glad they included you. Have a great Sunday!

congrats on becoming a contributing writter, u deserve it

The header looks great. Congrats on your new writing opportunity, and here’s to hoping your allergies subside soon. Have a great week. Jodi!
June 22nd, 2008 at 10:35 am
take a well deserved bow now ms. paisley….you’re a terrific writer and people notice.
as far as the congestion, have you tried staying off the dairy? dairy builds up mucus, so if you’re feeling *ugh!*, for lack of a better descriptive term, quit the dairy for awhile and see how you begin to feel.
feel better….
((hugs))

Your new headers are Perfectly FAbulous!! I should have guessed Miss Giggles creativity was at hand, she IS so creative and I adore her poetry and Art too!
Congrats on your new job with the society of midnight wanderers! I will have to check it out.
I hope your sinuses clear up soon Jodi, Have you ever tried a netti pot??
Google it baby! It is amazing! Then head out to the store to get one!!

Superb! I, too, think Giggles is one of the finest and warmest! And, wow, congrats on your invitation – I’m headed there now! It’s going to take a long time to catch up – now beginning to get, literally, my feet under me. As always, I love your work!

Sorry to hear you suffering..it’s not that hot here and my daughter is miserable with allergies. I used to suffer with bad allergies until I got my nose pierced at forty! I don’t know if I outgrew them, of the piercing had an affect. I’m just happy the worst of it dissipated!
It was my pleasure to work with you in designing something you feel happy with! Without your incredible directions and communication skills I don’t think it would have happened so fast!
Hope your creative lull takes a back seat to those nasty allergies soon! Congratulations on the invite to Midnight wanders blog, I shall check it out!
Hugs Giggles

paisley,
You’re tops in my book; if you didn’t already know that.
Summer stuffiness sucks. Hope yours goes away soon.
