Just Checking,
    Please read to the end...or, you could just skip to the bottom. :)

It has been so, so long since I have posted on my blog! 
As a matter of fact, I am here now because I was checking out Chrome on my computer.  Low and behold, it had all my old bookmarks and right there, just a few clicks down, was Blogger!!

I have been tossing around the idea of blogging again and this popped up!!  So, I guess the first step in making this decision is finding out if I still have anyone "listening" to my ramblings.

If I do decide to revive this old blog, what would you like to see?  Tutorials, step by step pics of my painting endeavors, giveaways, ramblings of an old lady...?

So, please comment if you are still here.  If you don't feel like talking, just nod...no, I mean, just leave your name in the comments.

Thanks so much for listening, I hope to hear from everyone.  Now, back to the dungeon...I mean studio!

Have a good one,
Judy

Wow, where have I been?

Things have been crazy on the ridge this past year.  Suffice it to say, if I get started on all that has transpired I will ramble on forever.  So, lets just start over.

I hope you all have had a good year and are getting ready to begin a new one.  Can you believe we are about to enter 2017!

I am in the process of planning my year...that worked so well for me this year!!  :-)

As part of that, I want to build my blog following back up.  When I changed my business name and created a new blog for it, I lost so many of my followers.  So, I have a favor to ask.  If you are following this blog, please leave a comment so that I will know you are still here. 

Thanks so much for you cooperation.

Judy
