She sheepishly crawls back into this blog-hole after, what?-- 10 plus years? Nothing like world-class procrastination, I'd say. So life has changed. So has my art, my goals, my plans. I've been painting more, learning new skills. I design custom t-shirts, and have those to sell in my shop now., along with some paintings. No longer selling as "CreativeHook", but "Threadmill" now. I'm living just outside of Ocean Isle Beach this summer (remember, I'm an art teacher and I have summers off) - It's a cute little place that stokes my creativity, makes me smile... makes me feel whole. One more year of teaching... maybe and this will be my year-round home. Anyway, I'm back. I think I'm back. Time will tell....
