New Beginnings...





I cringe to look and see when my last blog was post...almost a year ago. What happened? Life I guess. Not really an excuse, but the innercore of my being always comes back to the written word as it is the fumes that keep me going.

They say that artists are tempermental and always on again off again. I can relate to that. However, with a recent rejuventation of culture, company and encouragement, I am off again with head held high and spirits soaring ready to run like mad until I stumble and fall flat on my face :).

So, this is about new beginnings. With that a new blog is in the works that I am very excited to start - sneak preview "Betsy and Me" will be about black and white classic films, vintage fashion and foodiness. Super coolness. I hope you will follow me, encourage me, criticize and comment. That is what I need so don't hesitate.


In closing, I want to send out my own words of encouragement to the masses. Be who you are and never apologize for trying no matter how many times you fail. That is how greatness is born.

All the Doxie Lovers in the House Put Your Hands Up







So, I have been a long hiatus from blogging. Life has been full of... well life. One thing that helps me get through the day despite of how busy life gets are my two doxies - Flo and Bunsen.






I have to say I have kind of an obsession with weiner dogs. They have a comical physicality and a big personality. They are madly loyal, fiercly stubborn, and super entertaining. My black and tan Flo loves to play fetch which is an endearing and annoying characteristic. She will never stop chasing the ball and bringing it back to you, nudging the ball with her nose and making growly noises if no immediate response is given. Recently, I learned of Picasso's faithful friend 'Lump' a mini dashchund who came into his possession by accident. The story is heartwarming and goes to show sometimes your best friend is a furry funny looking little friend. Enjoy some doxie inspired items from Etsy sellers~
