moving out

I have not had one moment to keep up my blog let alone all the other things I must do like laundry and such. I have just been moving the studio like crazy and YES in this heat! Thank you so much to Chumley and Michele for making it fun and actually painless. Oh and thank you to Tracy for her pick up...I always wanted a pick up. I will be back to normal after the 24th.

stay tuned!
