carpe diem while the beat goes on...

I have been a bad blogger...a pathetic tweeter...and a very busy girl. I guess the saying... life is what happens when you are busy making other plans...is true. Life has been happening...at a very fast pace I must say...things have been busy...but good...real good...

First and foremost my son Jesse celebrated his 26th birthday...and that was fun. I often find myself shaking my head and remembering him as my boy...


and now...he's my man...
sister Becca surprises him with one of his favorite things...Dippin' Dots...

carne asada and maurgaritas...
happy birthday to him...


Pasticcio Quartz, the Quality Art Zine (hence a QUARTZ) that Sarah Fishburn and I compile, design, layout, collect, muse over, write and prepare for printing, was completed by the deadline we had set for ourselves and it's out and ready for summer reading.  They are fun and stressful to put together...it is truly a labor of love and artistically satisfying.
 
 I have been diligently working on my Angela Cartwright Studio art.wear and website...and it is slowly coming together...Hope the launch date for that is real soon...I have a couple of articles coming out in Somerset Studios and Jewelry Affaire in the next couple of months and will let you know when those appear.
I have been reworking my showbiz website. I can't believe how many years it's been since I taught myself html code and how to make a website because I wanted to be able to add and write all the content and keep it real. It all just takes time...and s
ometimes I don't know which hat to reach for...


Speaking of hats...this is the hat you wear when you are crossing the Alps. There will be an announcement of the Sound of Music kind in a couple of weeks I hope...

But now...today... I am going to say Carpe Diem...Seize The Day...
Have fun, be grateful and be safe this holiday weekend...

Hi Angela, You and your family have a Happy and safe 4th of July. By the way there's a clip on Youtube title ' girls of the 60's-a photo collection of the 60's diva's' that has a still photo of you.

Great Pics of your son. Kinda sad. My son ,who is now twenty, is away at college. This weekend I was taking up some old azeala bushes next to our house. As I removed the plants, I found an old plastic Easter Egg. It had been hidden but never found years ago. Strange, I almost cried. Truly Carpe diem...... Happy 4th.
