Wasting time
I am royaling wasting time here, but I have to take advantage of the hours I have to bounce around the computer before my sweet husband has a gazillion things to do again.
I enjoyed reading all the new posts! My blogroll is quite satisfying I must say. I love hearing about cutie Caleb. Jeanette's musings are always full of energy that I don't have. Racheal had some awesome opp's for painters--check it out Kelly, maybe this will make that paintbrush a little lighter! Cat's vocab makes me smile because I hear her voice talking. And the Bear never ceases to surprise me.
I finished my sheep painting. I'll post it again when I get a good picture. I'm hoping to get it shinied up and framed soon. I bought lattice today and was pleasently surprised to see that Lowe's now carries many varieties of lattice! I have a choice now! Cool. I might be framing alot now. Except I don't have a mitre saw. I will frame the sheep painting (which I gotta title better than that) and my Quiver and Arrows painting for the NCAL show. And if the Perkins will let me, I'd love to frame Gideon and show him off too (the painting not the boy, although Gid should be shown off whenever possible. He could come in a teeny little tux to the show opening!). Even though lattice costs virtually nothing framing is always a bit tense for me because I can never manage to get those cuts perfect. Cuz I don't have a mitre saw. Good thing my paintings are rough in their compostion so the rough frame complements.
I got accepted to Festival 34/84 today! That will be in Cartersville on Oct 16 and 17. My first fest. Now how the heck am I going to keep my work from falling over! The fancy walls you have to buy are like a serious investment. I could buy another Volvo with that kinda cash. I don't have that kinda cash. Brainstorming must begin. This will be a great opportunity, and they're providing free breakfast both days! It's a short drive too, very do-able. I just hope I'm not in the throws of some major morning sickness. Come one, come all and see Katie's tent-o-art!
We spent all day Sunday trekking around the ATL. Church in Woodstock, wedding in Buford. That's an hour, just to get from Atlanta to Atlanta. Why did I move to a big city? 
The wedding was great! We were going to go to Fort Walton Beach this weekend. The bride and groom finally thought that was a bad idea. We had a breezy outdoor sunny wedding in Buford at Stone Edge. John and Jennie's faith was presented for their non-Christian family and friends. But I was kinda bummed that I was pregnant for the after party. It would have been nice to have some champagne. But I'm sure someone had enough to drink for both of us there. God took their 'dream-wedding' and made it into what it should be-a glorification of God's grace. I believe part of thier vows said, "God is giving us a second chance at happiness". Amen.
Joel's Management and Accounting classes end this week. Thank God! Now he will only have one class a week until Thanksgiving and then nothing until the spring.

And Jeanette, it's not that I don't have lots of stuff to do it's that early pregnancy makes you a slug to the world. I am a zombie trudging through the things I have to do. And I don't live in Woodstock but it's a short 20 min drive. that's where we go to church.

No Andy I wasn't hinting at that. sorry. But I am interested in displaying the painting of Gid. I'll call ya.

Hint taken...Your welcome to use our mitre saw. It's just sitting in the basement right now.
Gideon in a tuxedo is a pretty good visual. We'll have to check into it. I haven't been called 'Bear' in a long time, I'm surprised you remembered.
