Last year, I dropped one on the morning of submission as I was in such a fluster!!!Yarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06662236319781194283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29195570.post-64308917461768370302010-03-13T16:14:00.322-07:002010-03-13T16:14:00.322-07:00Hey Julia, more snow?

I used to do a lot of framing of my watercolors, but since I am so much more digital these days I haven't done so. When I produce a very large print, however I do try to find a frame that fits. If I can't, then I'll frame my own. I too hate the glass cutting part, but my husband is great at that . I love the images on your side bars, very very nice.<br /><br />And I can't believe you have a sixteen year old... where does time go?Ginger*:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14970160779830842600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29195570.post-90894637463928935042010-03-11T20:20:45.626-07:002010-03-11T20:20:45.626-07:00I've been thinking a lot about these very same...I've been thinking a lot about these very same ideas lately:) I remember when I was younger I used to want to know everything RIGHT NOW! And now I feel like I can really enjoy the process of getting closer and closer, little by little. Even frustration has become a sort of friend to me--keeping me mindful of how far I've come, helping me to celebrate learning one new little thing each day.Kaetlyn Wilcoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644189043334162399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29195570.post-71724117100469322962010-03-11T20:05:31.198-07:002010-03-11T20:05:31.198-07:00Hi Julia-

I have a neat circular scar on right middle finger where I was once polishing up a piece of glass readied for framing, and sliced a perfect crescent of skin clean off! Now there's a blog entry- artist scar stories! I do almost all my framing professionally, too. BUT, there are other things that I get better at with age (I'm 40-ish,too) like whipping out a logo in an hour, if I'm asked spontaneously. I really like that.<br /><br />Sorry about the snow- you know Iowans feel your pain. I can't believe most of ours has melted in just a few days. We may have flooding again, which is not cool. Have a good one.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052488335133029707noreply@blogger.com
