Settled in the Maritimes of Canada, surrounded by the forest and Acadian Mountain Chain, I live a simple life of gratitude. This blog is a journal of my art, food, furkids, garden, home, my life and my thoughts. Thanks for reading!
Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊
🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Outdoor Furniture! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! And please showcase your foodie posts too for our 😋 Dinner Date!! 😋
I just wanted to share a little bit about what's going on with me! I needed a break from blogging to focus on my business ventures.
Most of you know that I'm working very hard on my YouTube channels and I continue to do that.
I've taken many courses over the last few months on how to build a business online. I'm now in the planning stages of building two websites. One will concentrate on kitchen, garden and home; and the other will concentrate on art and host my art web store. When these sites are live, I won't be posting here anymore, but I will leave redirect links for anyone interested!
I plan to have these websites up and running in early 2024.
I've also decided I will continue TADD! Thursday's Art Date will be hosted on my new art website starting in 2024. I will provide weekly prompts and participate like I used to. I miss it a lot! I don't know that I'll have time to participate here on Blogger before the new year, but I'll try!
The pets are doing very well! Jack's tumour seems to have stopped growing with the addition of steroids. I'm also happy to say that Alex and I remain friends and the possibility of reconciliation is in our future. Nine months of separation seemed to have been a good thing! ☺
Canning season is coming up although the weather has been so wet here, I wonder if the local farms will have good crops this year, and if they do, I'm sure they'll be really expensive.
Let me know how you are all doing my friends! I miss you and I'll be by to visit you soon! ♥♥♥
That's all for now folks! Please check out the link widget below for more 🎨 artistic 🎨 and 😋 delicious 😋 creations! See you soon!!! 💗

Announcement: After much thought, I have decided to go on a permanent blog break. My education and business ventures are leaving me little time for much else! I have to focus my life in that area, so blogging will be collateral damage I'm afraid! I will still host the weekly Art and Dinner Date until the end of the year, then after that, my blogging journey will end! I just want to give a genuine thanks to all those who have participated over the years and also those who have been so supportive! I've made some lovely friendships throughout the years!
I guess my blog is becoming extinct!
If anyone wants to take over the TADD in the new year, let me know! Thanks Friends!! ♥♥
