Well trully it's just that I haven't done much ArTsy wise but yet I've had some things go on. My oldest graduated last year from High School & started college, my youngest switched schools & is a freshman. All of which is making me Old! LOL<br /><br />I went into business with a friend by putting my art work, vintage & antique goodies, & Celebrating Home products in her shop. Taught a class only to have to move out after a few months.<br /><br />I am now in booth #39 at the Auglaize Antique Mall in Wapakoneta, OH (right across the street) So a lot of time & effort has gone into that.<br /><br />One good thing has come from all of it - I have my own spot selling my wares! It's very exciting & I love decorating my booth & finding sweet treasures to sell! I only hope it does well! I have a some "JillzWhimzy" creations in it as well :)<br /><br />I am still working F/T driving school bus & P/T as Optician so staying bizzy.<br /><br />I went on a lovely weekend trip this month to Maryland with my Mom to the largest doll show by charter bus. What a super fun excursion it was. I brought home a darling little antique girl I will have to take a pic of her she's precious!<br /><br />Over the summer I had a total thyroidectomy & was found positive for cancer. On the bright side the nodule was small & I underwent a radioactive treatment. My cure rate was 95%. I am feeling well & thankful that I was so fortunate & that I did not put off surgery.<br /><br />Gearing up for Christmas I had hopes of making some creations but alas have not, however the tree is up & some presents are bought.<br /><br />Here's wishing you the Happiest of Holidays & I'll be around blogville more often for 2012!<br />JILLJillzWhimzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13479654265107250380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395511743436542972.post-66086983228473703112011-07-21T23:20:00.000-07:002011-07-21T23:31:57.862-07:00Fern Hill FarmHouse featuring JillzWhimzy<div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7D2RmuoLLsrj1CQACMmR-vEz6_W6xOwcR0oUuRABJqM26Wz6XEIUbsUSPqC75YDY4tK8uRomszS4JOn5blDd_poXKSdkzj5VWBKRP-1WkGsA7YlnnInqPf69GgQwUEkUn4iHPN8SE6c/s1600/fhfrm.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 242px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632058075059045250" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-7D2RmuoLLsrj1CQACMmR-vEz6_W6xOwcR0oUuRABJqM26Wz6XEIUbsUSPqC75YDY4tK8uRomszS4JOn5blDd_poXKSdkzj5VWBKRP-1WkGsA7YlnnInqPf69GgQwUEkUn4iHPN8SE6c/s320/fhfrm.jpg" /></a>I am very pleased to announce:<br /><div align="center"><font color="#003300">Fern Hill FarmHouse has just opened in Wapakoneta, Ohio by a dear friend of mine.

But I had to use the front & back of 2 postcards on each piece. I requested a photo of them as children to tie it together more.</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#660000;">So I did embrace this challenge & the box of buttons with vintage post cards, & keys & ran with it! </span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#660000;">The pics were taken with my phone & are not very good but the collages turned out pretty well.
