happy may! hope you all had a fun, relaxing weekend. after all that talk of hard work it was time to dilly dally for a bit. and dilly dally i did, with some phenomenal creative gals i've wanted to meet for a long time! over breakfast on saturday morning i finally met the delightful nina along with a few mutual friends here in town, and she is as adorable and warm as her children's illustrations! then i headed for the plaza in kansas city, where i met the fabulous terri and her just-as-fabulous pals deb and julie, who are just as funny and whip-smart as she is! we had no issue whatsoever polishing off a bottle of wine getting to know each other. nina's and terri's visits were entirely unrelated - just lucky for me that they both landed in kansas on the same day! amazing day, amazing girls! thank you for the soul food!
a couple of creative prods to pass along...
> the may prompt for creative every day is intuition - join leah and the rest of us if you'd like to share your creative interpretations of the word!
> check out the buffet of may art experiments at daisy yellow!

> weekword is back in action! rachel is the wordfinder this week and it is "story" - just leave a comment on her blog if you'd like to participate, and then on friday, post your photo, drawing, journal page, whatever creation you feel moved to do by that word!
happy creative monday to you! now off to get some coffee - i've run out of exclamation points.

It was such a treat to finally meet you in person, Aimee! I just blogged about it! :) You are simple wonderful and I am so happy that we are friends! Happy Tuesday!!!
i love to dance in the daisies
(how did you know?)
& i love your picture of it!
(aimee, our hearts are in sinc with each other/not a first time/as i recently finished a piece that has a similar message...although for some reason i've scheduled it to appear june 1). it will be fun to check out a couple of the links/names you've referenced here. xox
you do dilly dally and daisies better than anyone i know!! i LOVE this!! xox, ;))
FAB FAB FAAAAAAAB weekend! I am so jealous that they got to meet you.
Great explosion of technicolor happiness in these daisies. Yes, I will take off my shoes and dance through them, floss my toes with them. And I promise I won't eat them.
I would be dancing in the daisies, dear Aimee, but for the little fact that we changed our entire garden (it is actuially very small) into gravel and stepping stones earlier this year. Oh, heaven for someone with such a lack of green fingers as I have! I am sticking now with two Buddhas and a pot of herbs, a rosemary bush and two small lavenders in pots, as well as some tiny succulents on the back patio. No daisies, alas. But I will dance a little on the gravel. Except - it is raining. Yay for weekword being back! I actually left a comment on Rachel's blog, but it looks like I may not make it - I have just got a huge stack of 2nd pages back from the typesetter. So what the hell am I doing writing this long epistle to you? Procrastinating, that's what. And of course, I have missed you!
Thank you for such a wonderful post. This past weekend was my birthday weekend (4/30). Did a virtual art retreat at wishstudio.
Happy may and I look forward to reading your blog more.
I'm dancin' baby - in the daises, in the clematis, in the lilacs, in the roses. How nice that you got to meet some of your friends in real life!!!!
Happy daisy may too !
a bit late on reading this, but i take that as a sign that the gods are telling me to do some daisy dancing this weekend, starting right now.
oh, and i am so so happy that weekword is back, because i had been planning to jump on that wagon to get the creativity flowing. hoping it can do something about the dryspell around here.
oh, and thanks for your comment the other day. i am much clamer now, but i really felt out of my wits there - and for some reason it's good to know that others are just as confused about parenting sometimes too.
love this aimee! also love that you added all your tutes over there in the side column. i'm going to do the collage necklaces with the mermaids and mamas girls!
i LOVE this dancing in the daisies ....
I love mine. Thanks again! :)
