You see, you guys thought I was gone for the week. But the truth is blogging isn’t like "work" to me. It’s one of my fun things that I love to do ~ so the real question is can I stay away from the blog during my so called "vacation" week. I just wanted to let you know in case I disappeared at all this week. But, not yet because I have BIG NEWS that I’ve been trying to keep a secret since before Christmas. I’m not really that good at keeping secrets so most of my friends already know, but I haven’t let it slip here on the blog, until today.

My art is now at Urban Oufitters! It’s exciting, because I’ve been a loyal Urban’s customer and have loved their style for quite a while, them and my beloved Anthropologie of course, which if you didn’t already know happen to be part of the same company. Except that I do have to say the last two times I’ve been in an Urban Outfitters the music has just been too loud for a pleasant shopping experience. Now that could be at the stores only here in L.A. where people think they are going to a night club instead of shopping or I could actually be getting old...NEVER.

I digress. I’m thrilled to have my work continue to find it’s way out the in the world and I’m so thankful for the opportunity. I also hope this offers you yet another way to enjoy my art. They have two images that are 10 x 10 in. printed on stretched canvas ready to hang on the wall for $18, a very affordable price indeed.

I had hoped to share a photo with me on location with the art, but it hasn’t arrived at the stores yet, so stay tuned and I’ll let you know when you can find them in a store near you. In the meantime you can find them right here online. Or if you see them, you can let me know as sweet Helen did. She was the first to let me know she had seen them online by commenting here on the blog. thank you helen!

My plan is to be back with the podcast that I’ve spent most of the day writing. Let me tell you now it’s a LONG one, but I feel that this one needs to be. In the meantime, Erin has put her first roadmaps post up at her blog. I’m still here, so I’ll see you again soon.

Oh, and I’m happy to report that this is not an April Fool’s day joke...it’s for real...I never liked this holiday, probably because being a prankster is not my specialty. ;)
