my blog has movedJuly 23 2008

Sorry for the short notice. But it seems that someone has hacked into my blog to add a lot of links for levitra, among other prescription drugs hidden in my posts (my apologies if you’ve had to scroll through any of these in your blog readers). Since Creative Thursday isn’t really into pushing prescription drugs and I have been meaning to update the blog, and this blog just turned two, blah, blah, blah yesterday turned out to be the perfect timing. So this is officially the last post. My new blog address from now on is

http://creativethursday.typepad.com/

Please update this if you happen to be one of the many people who have been kind enough to link to my blog in the last 2 years.

And any comments left here as of today will disappear in the next few weeks when this blog address will be removed from the internet. So if you want your comments to be lasting, you can meet me over at the new blog and say hello there. Everything is the same at the new blog, just a few changes and few updates I will still need to be making over time.

See you there!

Today is a very special day. It is my official two year anniversary of the Creative Thursday blog. So I’m changing the tone back to joy today, and I thank you immensely for all your kind comments and thoughts from yesterday’s post.

This is my chance to tell you again how much I appreciate all of you who visit this blog and to those of you who comment so frequently, that I have the pleasure of knowing a little more each time I hear from you, you feel like my extended circle of friends.

I still can’t begin to express in words the joy I feel when I create these paintings. And I feel so lucky every day to live this creative life. I will repeat what I wrote in my daily painting email today ~ Creating these paintings and sharing them with you is a highlight in my day. Thank you for continuing to join me on the journey.

If you know me personally or have been following the blog for quite a while, then you may know that I was married before, and the first 11 years of my adult life were spent along side Art Haedike. I don’t mention it much, as it’s personal and between us, and this blog is mostly about my creations and my present life experience over the last two years now ~ but my marriage was a wonderful one in so many ways mostly because of the person I was married too, yet life sometimes still manages to take us in different directions. I am however endlessly grateful for the time we spent together, and also for the Haedike and Landess family, who made me feel a welcome part of their family from the first moment I met them.

Yesterday, I learned from my ex-husband, Art, that his brother, David, passed away unexpectedly on Friday. He was only 32 years old and leaves behind two children of his own.

It is at this point of the post that I am simply at a loss for words. The shock of this sudden tragedy is settling in and my heart is breaking for Art and his family. I can’t begin to put into words anything other than the fact that David was one of the kindest, gentlest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. So in some small form, this post is my way of remembering such a humble, gracious and beautiful spirit. I chose the photo

SO excited about this painting series idea I came up with today, I have little knots in my stomach. Did you know that I get that excited sharing daily paintings with you? I do. It’s like I’m a little kid who created something new and can’t wait to show it to somebody as soon as possible, (just ask Sean). And if he’s not here, ask the cats.

Speaking of Anthropologie…not only am I constantly inspired by that store, but I get excited every time a catalog shows up in the mail. In fact I’ve been saving them for a quite a while as a reference for painting ideas that pop into my head when I immerse myself in the pages, of a catalog for goodness sakes. What other catalog do you know of that you could actually “immerse” yourself in? Today, I decided to act on one of my many painting ideas, and then I thought it would be really FUN for me to do a series called the “Anthropologie Series”. Now I don’t know for sure whether they will be painted one right after the other, but there will be a number of them and today’s is officially #1. This one also includes paper from a special remnant pack of papers (much like the sweet
