This blog instalment should be about my recent trips to Hawaii and Mexico BUT because I have been making photo wood blocks and jewelry like a MOFO since returning for the upcoming ever popular and loved Make It shows in Edmonton and Vancouver, I have simply had no time to write!
So this is gonna be a quickie!
Literally no hour has been wasted. No social outings. No yoga. No monkey business. Just SERIOUS production.

| My glamorous apt/studio (the usual pre-show disaster area) - this was after tidying up a bit |
Unfortunately, almost as soon as I started sanding wood blocks, things went haywire in my neck (not really a new thing - just intensified!) which caused a similar effect in right shoulder, arm and hand. Soooo productivity has been hindered a wee bit by that but on the bright side, I have become quite ambidextrous as a result! I snuck in a massage and IMS treatment last week and hoping to see Chiro before the drive to Edmonton!
All this has made me feel so...OLD?! Jebus! If this is 38, then what is 50 gonna be like? Don't answer that. ;)

| New cherry blossom photo jewels (photos taken in Vangroovy of course)! |
I will be arriving late Wednesday night to Edmonton and setting up Thursday as the show is Fri-Sun. Then I hit the road back to Vangroovy on Monday to prep for the show here. Sooooo to all my peeps I normally get to visit with in Edmonton, I hope you can come for a visit at the Enjoy Centre as I probably won't be able to see you otherwise!!
As for everyone else in these areas - hope you can MAKE IT;)
