Read my Blog, Win a Prize

...for the days my words aren't prize enough! 
I made this here bowlish thingie countertop art all.by.myself. And it's one of my personal favorites ♥ 

Chances are you're one of the 50 people who know how hard it was to be in the studio, to quiet many voices before confronting my first grade art failure.  There's even a shot of this piece before completion!

Thanks for checking in on me; I mostly know you've been here, even when you're silent. When I see you, I assume you've been here and all this craziness is common knowledge. Then there are the days when I hope it's not. Which is how I know it's still MY blog ♥


Traaseth Moorhead Location 2004





I am no less a basketcase today than I was in 2004, when I sat down to begin this blog. A freshly widowed unschooler, living the good (albiet isolated) life with her two kids.

NYC 1994
  



I don't mind that you know I was a basketcase back in 1994, too. I got the earthquake as my excuse that time.


I don't much mind that I'm still a basketcase in 2010; unshaken in my nuttiness after my daughter's death and the discovery of my true home.  

The Oregon Beach. Bring your parka.
Now it's your turn to come on out of the woodwork. Leave me a comment before the end of the month and I'll randomly pick a winner! I'll pick a random winner, randomly. A winner shall be chosen at random. Like that.

You know that I know - one basketcase to another....for me, it was 1995 and 2003.....

Blue is my favorite (OK, the ONLY) color.....you needn't pick me, but that makes it no less so! =)

I don't enter giveaways much, but I think something of yours in my home would bring too much good energy to pass up. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Love you. (And not to sway you or anything, but I do have new space to decorate - it's really just missing an original Diana, you know.)
