<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope your Thursday is off to a wonderful start :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to pop in and share a photo I received from a recent customer :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I get emails from a lot of my customers telling me that they are happy with my work, usually it is when they have had a photograph of mine framed and it fits in the space they placed it just how they had imagined it to be (very gratifying :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And on occasion some customers like to send me photographs of my work in their homes. It really makes me feel so happy that people are enjoying my work :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This project (image below) was a new venture for me. Originally the customer had purchased my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/162821310/colorful-fishing-floats-fine-art?ref=shop_home_listings"><span style="color: red;">"Colorful Fishing Floats"</span></a> Throw Pillow Cover (cushion on the back of the chair in the photo) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">from my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PhotosByChipperfield"><span style="color: red;">Etsy Shop :)</span></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then a couple of weeks later they contacted me to see if I could customize a yard of fabric with the same image on it so they could cover the seat of the rocking chair. At first I thought, "how am I going to do that?" but eventually I worked it out. There is a company called <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome"><span style="color: red;">"Spoonflower"</span></a> who have been around for about 10 years who have lots of beautiful fabrics created by lots of talented Artists. I have thought about put my work onto fabric before but you know how time is, it disappears and one thing leads to another and before you know it, it is another thing that is sitting on the backburner waiting for you to rethink it. So, it was a wonderful opportunity for me to revisit putting my work onto fabric. I was a bit nervous, I have to admit, but after exchanging emails with the company and getting some much needed advice I uploaded the image and drop shipped the fabric to the customer. Then it was nail biting time because I was watching the tracking to see when the fabric would arrive at the customers home.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">About a week after I saw the fabric had been delivered I was getting nervous, these customers had been great communicators in the lead up time, so I was just about to send them an email and the photo of the finished Rocking Chair arrived with a lovely, lovely thank you from the Happy Customers :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What is so awesome about this is now I know I can put my work onto fabric with confidence and am excited about a new avenue for my work but most of all I have Happy Customers who have a one of a kind chair, unique to them & their home :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Every time I look at this photo it makes me smile and I think it really is a work of art, with the yellow accents too and the Artist in me is very, very Happy :)</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope Spring (Autumn for our S. Hemi Peeps) finds you well :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 weeks ago, I went to the Oregon Coast with my two Sons. We stayed in an amazing house on a sand dune right above the beach & looking out at the amazing vastness of the Pacific Ocean :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have stayed in this house before and knew it had awesome views with lots of windows facing the West for amazing Sunsets & Ocean viewing :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What we didn't know was how bad the weather was going to be, rain had been forecast, hey, this is early March in Oregon so no surprises there, but we did not expect the Hurricane Warnings that started to show up the day after we arrived, oops! These are basically unheard of in Oregon. It definitely made for an interesting experience; I have experienced some strong winds in my life but </span><span style="font-size: large;">for about 18 hours </span><span style="font-size: large;">this was crazy and the rain, just pouring down like tomorrow was going out of fashion and the winds whipped the waves into a frenzy, the windows of the house were literally shaking (thankfully they were not glass) and we were happy to be indoors with a gas fire to keep us warm.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can read about the Hurricane Winds <a href="http://www.smalltownweather.com/daily-coastal-oregon-weather-blog/wednesday-nights-winds"><span style="color: red;">Here; </span></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went outside onto an upstairs balcony, a couple of times, very briefly, to take some photos of the very high waves but nearly got blown away; trying to hold my camera steady with a zoom lens was challenging but I tried :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, as fuzzy as some of these images are I wanted to share them with you because they have their own beauty. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The following day the waves were still high but lovely blue skies appeared; there was some flooding and some of the local coastal rivers were close to or at flood stage, we drove thru a few big pools of standing water along some coastal roads. Still not really quite believing what we had experienced.</span><br />

The Pacific Ocean, by early afternoon (1pm) the winds had picked up and the High Tide was churning - the sky was grey and the drizzle turned to rain. (Next 3 photos are early afternoon too)</div>

But as the camera was pointed South, there were still glimmers of those rain clouds moving inland towards the coastal range.</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to admit I was just so excited to be by the Ocean again; it has been the longest time ever for me between trips to the Ocean, I had missed it so much. I'm a Water Girl, I need to see the Ocean and be by it on a regular basis or I dry up, lol :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I guess I got more water than I had bargained for but it was thrilling to be at the coast to experience this storm, call me crazy but I felt a kind of refreshed sense of renewal after it but I am also the kind of girl who likes to open the windows and breathe in deeply during a thunderstorm :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you enjoy my photos :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you are all doing well on this special Leap Year Day :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, getting back into blogging has made me realise I haven't done a Giveaway in FOREVER.........definitely time to rectify that :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope I find you all well and your Wednesday is going well :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, a few weeks ago in my blog post I started to tell you a bit about our failed move to San Diego. :( </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought I would hold off talking too much about it this week, as I can only handle so much of it, so I am sure you could possibly feel the same way. ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will get back to it but I truly have to process it too ;( I don't want to sound too whiny so...............................pausing for now :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But if you read that week's<span style="color: red;"> <a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2016/02/happy-belated-new-year.html"><span style="color: red;">blog post</span></a></span> you know that my 2015 SUCKED!!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I wanted to share with you a simple process I go thru every day that makes getting out of bed in the morning a whole hell of a lot better (noticed I didn't say "bounce" out of bed, as I can't remember the last time I did that, except when I needed to go a pee urgently, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, lying in bed, after I wake, is a troubling time for me, as each part of my body wakes I become aware of the pains and challenges going on in my body and sigh, I think, well here we go again, another day of dragging thru life. It would be so much easier to just pull the covers up over my head and go F... it I ain't moving, I'm just going to lie here and feel sorry for myself all day. But that is just plain selfish (don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of days when I wasn't physically able to get out of bed, so that is where I stayed) but there are other people to consider not just me, so after a while I give myself a little pep talk in the form of Being Grateful. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Of course </span><span style="font-size: large;">it would be so much easier to stay in bed than getting up and pushing myself thru each day, so much easier to feel sorry for myself than to be grateful but I count this as a good exercise for my mind, it might not be earth shattering, but I do believe that there is a slight paradigm shift and a motivating message to my body that it is worth it to push thru and try and live as best a life as I can that day. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I tell myself 10 things I am grateful for, they don't have to be big things, they shouldn't be the same things as yesterday, although of course there is a constant theme to this. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My number One gratitude statement is; I am thankful I woke up this morning :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Simple but so important, right?!?! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Followed closely by being exceptionally grateful for a loving family :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Being grateful is not a new concept, I know, but being consistent with it, is what makes it worthwhile and strengthens my resolve. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I try not to be grateful for superficial things in my 10 morning Gratitude statements but I will include being incredibly grateful for a roof over my head, I never take that for granted. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the things I am very grateful for is still being able to be creative</span><span style="font-size: large;"> and I love to share my photos/artwork for you to enjoy :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is something I have been working on recently :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My Children found this Feather one year while we were on vacation at the beach, they kindly presented it to me and it has been a part of my art space for a long time now. It has been used for drawing lessons, writing and even to move paint around a surface (notice there are a couple of tips that have ink on them :) A few Summers ago, I decided to work on an outdoor still life photography project, the Feather was a part of that :) This year I finally had some time to work on creating the images I wanted from that shoot :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you enjoy these :)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Happy</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> Valentine's Day :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I recently did a Nature Photography Challenge on FB. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't usually do things like that but in 2016 I am trying to embrace a few things outside my comfort zone :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was the premise; </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Post Nature Photos, one a day for 7 days, tag the person who nominated you to participate and then tag someone else to join in :) Simple :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I guess I do not like to feel pressured to do something & also as a "Professional" Photographer I feel I have to come up with something special to fit this "label" that is attached to taking photos for a "Living" (well, if I made a living out of photography by itself that would be one things but I don't ............lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, I thought I would give it a go, especially as it was amount friends on Facebook :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are the photos I shared :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Long time no see, sorry about that, I have missed so much in the blogging world but Life has been CRAZY, the kind of CRAZY, where I didn't even get to send Christmas cards out (which I have NEVER, EVER not done before in my whole life, even if I was down with bronchitis or a CFS/Fibro relapse leading up to a Christmas, NEVER!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The kind of CRAZY where I only managed to produce 4 blog posts in 2015, WHAT!!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been the kind of CRAZY year that I am seriously thinking about leaving my Christmas tree in the corner where it is, all dressed up and just unplugging the lights, leaving the ornaments in place and putting a sheet over it until next year, before you all panic, it is an artificial tree, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But CRAZY nearly had me defeated at several points, not good :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm not the kind of Girl to be down for the count for long and it has been a long, long time but I'm back to my beloved blog and my lovely Blogger Buddies :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Even if it is the beginning of February 2016 already, WHAT!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(Not sure where January went) :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> And if you are interested I will tell you the tale of my CRAZY 2015 - I will try not to bore you with too much of the dross and it will most probably be in parts (oh joy, I hear you all groan, lots of narrative, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I promise I will include some pretty photos to break the monotony of my bitching :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If this was a Tardis (I know it is the wrong type of phone box, I am a Brit, after all, I should know, lol :) I would beam (I know, it's a different show too, lol :) myself to a land where I had a personal assistant or better still, a Fairy Godmother or both and could get on and do everything I would like to do, possibly creating artwork again, rather than the boring things I have to deal with right now :(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, where would that land be??? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, for now I "beamed" myself back to Oregon :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2015/01/happy-new-year.html">This is what I posted about the start of the adventure in January <span style="color: red;">2015 :)</span></a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2015 was very challenging. :(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I was in Oregon most of the organisational work on our house fell to me. I am a great planner and love to be organised :) </span><span style="font-size: large;">I felt confident I could get the task done.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">So, with my notepad in hand I got planning, scheduling, calling people, etc., But there were definitely too many people involved in this move for it to go smoothly. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To start with it was a corporate move; we were reassured that the assigned moving co. would work with us and it would all go smoothly and we had an ever so bubbly relocation "Expert" to help us navigate any problems, unfortunately, neither the Moving Co.'s go to person nor the bubbly relocation "Expert" had any idea of what our lives were like or how my health impacts our daily lives and how this was going to be a HUGE physical challenge for me, regardless of how much I tried to explain, they feigned understanding but it was just empty words. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, based on how the real estate market seems to operate in our part of America, we decided to put our home on the market at the beginning of the "Selling" season which is Spring time. With the first week in April as our target time to list our home. Our real estate agent brought in a "Stager" to advise on how to "stage" our house for sale. Well, I spent nearly 2 hours going around our home and her telling me that I needed to paint everything neutral, I needed to neutralise the carpets, I needed to take down all the family photos, declutter areas, lose the personal items, basically turn our home into a show home. Seriously, I'm an Artist my walls are yellow & red & blue; I have red carpet & blue carpet in places, & tons of original artwork & photography on the walls, it all seemed like a load of nonsense to me. We LIVE in our house for goodness sake. But to sell a house in America that seems to be what it takes; it would have cost a fortune to do everything she and the realtor wanted us to do. Seriously, you would think that our house was a complete messy ramshackle hut the way they were talking :(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> 1st clue that we had the wrong realtor but did we realise it at the time, NOPE. :( </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Because my health is unpredictable, at best, I really do need to be extremely careful where I use my energy everyday. With so many people involved in our relocation, even my meticulous organising went out the window in a hurry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">People would show up unannounced to give me a bid on a job (oh we were in the area, GREAT (read "great" as sarcastically as you can), people would show up, out of the blue, to do work that couldn't be done that day because someone else had to do another job the next day BEFORE these peeps could do their work. You get the picture, like the guys who were scheduled to refinish the hardwood floors wanted to go hunting or something, so were going to put the final coat of varnish on the floor the next day, I told them we had agreed to get the job done that day and it needed to be done as the painters were coming in the next day, talk about an unhappy camper, (him not me) he grumpily agreed to finish the work that day but I watched as he and his buddy just slopped the last finishing coat on to the hardwood floors that were just sanded and no completely cleared of sawdust, yet again GREAT!!!!!. He also got the jab in that I should bring a check for the full amount with me when I came back to the house. (I was staying in a nearby hotel (sounds WAY more glamorous than it was) while these "workers" were doing the jobs on our Home. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm just going to say here, that if I never have to organise people to work on my home ever again it will be too soon ;(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We had decided, because of the work that needed to be done to our house, that we would move everything into storage first. A word of advice to anyone thinking of selling a house, NEVER, EVER move everything out of your house to try and sell it, people will think you are desperate and will make low ball offers and that is exactly what happened to us. :(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But I digress................. I'm thinking </span><span style="font-size: large;">you guys </span><span style="font-size: large;">most probably have read enough so far, so here are a few new photos in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PhotosByChipperfield"><span style="color: red;">Etsy</span></a> shop for you to enjoy :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">WOW!!!!! I really can't believe how long it has been since I blogged :( But I guess given everything that has been going on in my life it isn't really much of a shock that I haven't been around. I apologize for not commenting as regularly as I have in the past :( Hopefully, life will sort itself out here soon and I will be able to get back to some of the more fun things in life like blogging more regularly, </span><span style="font-size: large;">YAY!!!! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Briefly, My Hubby and I are in the middle of a transition from Oregon to California, I would call it a move but.............well.............I think I will have to come back when I feel up to it and fill you in on all the details............................</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope your Week went well and are now enjoying the Weekend :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Because my Hubby just came home to celebrate my Birthday with me, so sweet. :) It seems weird that we are doing the whole B.Day thing backwards this year, we usually go to San Diego to celebrate but as I am in the middle of getting the house ready to sell, it was easier for K. to fly back to Oregon from San Diego, at least we get to be together for the Sunny, if chilly Weekend in the Northwest, YAY!!!! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I like to think of myself as a very organised person but there is one thing that always gets the better of me and that is the amount of paper that arrives at our home every year. :(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thankfully with the advent of </span><span style="font-size: large;">paying </span><span style="font-size: large;">bills online the stack of paper bills has lessened but still all the credit card application offers that arrive is ridiculous, plus the catalogues and the junk mail that has our names and address on it, etc., my poor shredder has its hands </span><span style="font-size: large;">full </span><span style="font-size: large;">(well, I guess teeth really, lol :) dealing with all of it. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, for most of this past 2 weeks I have been doing my "Filing" :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I only file once a year, this is where I "File" things to start off with, in my "Pending" bowl, (also occasionally used as designed as a Pasta serving bowl, lol!!! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYcM2py5NeGqQ6UgAZxW4ntGoKepDgJR8Xipu_gAdqD-AiAQJv-4985Qo6QpNGHPp8Fw-B-ujy_Qle0sEQ8B04BvQJVYQ8jWTzO6xpo2fNpgMi0nlPsWLGW-GFT9pXm2LxRbWgv2WciB4/s1600/20150206_180727+Filing+Bowl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYcM2py5NeGqQ6UgAZxW4ntGoKepDgJR8Xipu_gAdqD-AiAQJv-4985Qo6QpNGHPp8Fw-B-ujy_Qle0sEQ8B04BvQJVYQ8jWTzO6xpo2fNpgMi0nlPsWLGW-GFT9pXm2LxRbWgv2WciB4/s1600/20150206_180727+Filing+Bowl.jpg" height="223" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Pending" Bowl :)</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, once a year as the bowl starts to overflow, there is a defeated sigh on my part and a scurry to sort all these papers into "file-able" piles (that is when having a pool table comes in very useful :) (oops! I forgot to take a pic. of the pool table covered in paper, oh, well, you get the idea right, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I take out each file from the filing cabinet to put this past years bills/papers in (in reverse month order of course, lol :) I take out the oldest years bills and shred them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

<br />
trusty old filing cabinet, full to bursting point with files and papers<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But this year as we are planning on moving home in the next few months I am going to be shredding more than one years worth of paperwork, I really hope the shredder can hold up to the </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">challenge :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One thing I do like to do, but maybe it is depressing to do so, is that I have kept just one bill from each past year. It is amazing what we used to pay for different things, like 25 years ago our cable bill was $25.00 a month but of course we didn't have a bundle package with internet (what internet?!?!) and phone and TV but seriously, I would LOVE to go back to </span><span style="font-size: large;">that simplicity :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">No On-Demand, pay per view, Streaming, Netflix or Hulu.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Going to Hollywood video </span><span style="font-size: large;">to rent a movie</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">was a fun family excursion and picking up a pizza on the way home just added to the fun of Family night :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But I digress................</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, so even though I am organised I may have been holding on to more paperwork than necessary and so after clearing out the filing cabinet and then going thru all my art files and several drawers full of the "kids" school phone directories and school paperwork in different places around the house here are the piles of papers I am going to have to shred :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">and I have recycled maybe 4 times this amount as well, I am so glad we have curbside recycling :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Shredder and the piles of shredding to be completed before the movers arrive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My shredder is nearly 2' tall, I can not believe I have so much to shred, it appears that even organised people might be paper hoarders after all, lol :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fingers crossed my paper shredder is up for the challenge :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a good job I find shredding a peaceful and cathartic pastime, lol :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here goes :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I hope everyone has a Wonderful Weekend :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope your Day is off to a great start :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to share with you this wonderful thing that happened to me just before Christmas :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yep, I know again, I am so far behind on posting events but this was really such a lovely thing that I wanted you guys to know about it :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Like most of you, I have a list of blogs that I follow and also, like most of you, I have my fav. bloggers who I go to check out on a regular basis and of course comment as much as possible, which I know isn't a lot right now but............anyway, I feel like </span><span style="font-size: large;">over the years</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">we have become good "Blogger Buddies":)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I'm not a big one for entering giveaways, unless it is for something I am truly interested in, call me picky, I know!!! :) But when one of my "Blogger Buddies" was hosting a giveaway of her beautiful artistic work I couldn't resist :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So the giveaway was for a set of five sheets of Western Red Cedar print gift wrapping paper :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't it beautiful!!! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Clare, with the help of Clea, the studio cat, picked my name in the Giveaway you can see in this <span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.tigerfoodpress.com/blog/2014/12/2/without-further-ado"><span style="color: red;">blog post :)</span></a> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">(clever kitty)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23.3999996185303px; text-align: start;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I was (am) so excited :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I felt like I was being welcomed home to Oregon (after the long, long wet and cold drive from San Diego to Portland, yep, still milking that one, lol :) and there was a gift waiting for me :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I got to wrap some special gifts in these beautiful pieces of creativity. </span><span style="font-size: large;">It was perfect for me; </span><span style="font-size: large;">I will admit to keeping one sheet, I couldn't part with them all. So when I do eventually have another studio up and running I will be able to hang this lovely work of art on my studio wall and see it everyday which will remind me of our beautiful, beloved Oregon, that I am so going to miss when I leave next month.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks so much Clare :)</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">HI ALL :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">HAPPY NEW YEAR :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Am I a little late, just a bit but life happens, so I am hoping for "better late than never, yeh!?!?" :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know I haven't been around much in Bloggerville the past year and I won't be around too much in the next few months either (but I promise to pop in from time to time :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, It isn't a terribly big mystery as to why I haven't been around but it is terribly stressful for me :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Exactly a year ago my Hubby started another job in another State. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It doesn't sound too dramatic really if you look at the map given that the State he got a job in is California and we are next door neighbours in Oregon. But when you look at the distance between Portland, Oregon and San Diego, California (1,000 miles) you realize that it isn't a simple commute. :(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We have been trying to bridge it for the past year with our home in Oregon and an apartment in San Diego; 1). because our Sons needed a roof over their heads and 2). we were not sure that we were one hundred percent on board with moving to California, esp. Southern California. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had lived in L.A. for a while in my early 20's and had absolutely HATED it. :( I was a LONDON Girl thru and thru, a BRIT thru and thru and L.A. was foreign and really weird!!! I have been back on a few occasions and my opinion really has not changed, you have to be a complete weirdo to live in L.A. lol :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I guess it is just one of those places you either Love it or Hate it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But I have spent a considerable amount of time in San Diego; it is where we go every year to celebrate our Birthdays in March (esp. to get away from the cold and rainy NW.) and we have some good friends who live there too, so it is like a home away from home :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, to cut a very long and possibly really boring story short, we have decided, lock, stock and barrel to up sticks and move to San </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Diego :)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, now the real fun begins :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All the prep to selling a house, the movers, the looking for a new home in one State while trying to sell a home in a different State; juggling all this fun to move forward is overwhelming, esp. if you are dealing with multiple chronic debilitating illnesses, yep, the joy of my life, but I try not to complain too much, although leaving our home of 18 years and our Sons behind and also my beloved Portland is gut wrenching to say the least but hopefully the benefits will eventually outweigh the negatives </span><span style="font-size: large;">(I am telling myself, over and over, lol :) </span><span style="font-size: large;">and so we strive forward :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, my Dears, if you don't see me here often know that I am busy dealing with all of the above, phew!!! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, and I dropped my lovely camera, again, with my zoom lens attached so they are both in camera hospital getting fixed; So, no new photos yet in 2015 but as I didn't post many photos last year I will try and post a few in the next few weeks :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few photos I took on our LONG road trip from San Diego to Portland the week before Xmas. It pretty much started raining in LA, of all places, and hasn't really stopped since :(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you enjoy them :)</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/212205628/portland-oregon-sign-old-town-neon?ref=shop_home_active_1">PORTLAND OREGON SIGN</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the iconic "Portland Oregon" Sign in Old Town. It cycles thru a lovely colour scheme of University of Oregon Green and Yellow/Gold to Gold/Bronze, here I captured the 3 main colour variations and also the awesome Red Nose is lit up over the Holiday Season to remind us of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" I (and the Family) Love this Sign such a special sight :) I am so excited to share these :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> These Photos are of the Vintage Toy Racecars our kids played with when they were younger. They spent many a Happy Hour playing with these (some have been handed down from Grandparents) and maybe one day will be used by another generation of Chipperfields. I had fun taking these photos (which brought back a lot of wonderful memories) and then had some more fun playing with texturing and layering these photos :)</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Guardian-EgypTT-Text, Georgia, serif; line-height: 25px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have also been putting my Photography on even more Pillow Covers and recently started to add my images to Shower Curtains and larger Gallery Wrapped Canvas Wall Art :)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gosh Me!!! It has been a while since I have been here :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I have been "Computer Challenged" recently, my computer is 10 years old (congrats to her for making it this far, Oh Where does the time go???) but unlike her Human counterparts she is going into early demise and needs constant life support,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> constantly crashing and recently, I was "Blue Screened" too!!! So I haven't been able to use her much or be on the internet or work on photos and FB is way too much for her and she just gives up. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I am</span><span style="font-size: large;"> really grateful that she has gotten me this far but it is time (shh, I don't want her to hear) - whispering - "it is time to let her go" :(</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also have had a flip phone (camera - less too) for the past 9+ years, which of course in cell phone years means she is close to pre-historic. It is definitely challenging when anyone wants to hear me on the phone and when I have to text (she is so old, you know how it is, you have to pressed the button 3 times to get to "C" right) it is just too exhausting!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The other day my Son and I had to go to the airport to pick up his car, he called me and then texted me to say he had his car and was leaving the parking garage and my phone didn't make a sound, No, it wasn't on silent or off :( Thankfully I was waiting for the call and kept looking at my phone (I was at the designated cell phone waiting location - well, actually I was "plane spotting" with my binoculars</span><span style="font-size: large;">, lol, but I digress...... :) I should have heard something but not a beep, nothing, so that was that, I decided even though I do not use my cell phone too often it was time to get a phone that worked and my Hubby wouldn't keep saying "I can't hear you very well, Darling" when I did use it.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My old Samsung Flip Phone - look it is so old it has Cingular on it, remember that, AT &T bought them out way back when........ You can tell how many times that poor phone has been dropped by all the scratches on it :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So to bid them farewell I decided I would write them a Dear Jane Letter ;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To my Dearest Computer and Cell Phone, </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">"for the past 10 years or so we have been together and you both have served me well but of late you have both started to let me down, first it was in small ways like not being available and alert when I needed you and then things got worse and more challenging. I am exhausted, cajoling, nurturing and egging along you slow coaches but we have grown up together in this "techie" world but one of us is letting the team down and it isn't me :( It breaks my heart to have to write this but I'm afraid it has become apparent to me of late that we need to part ways. What we have experienced together can never be replaced but it is time for me to move on and into the 21st century. That being said please don't be jealous of the new smart phone or the faster computer with more memory, just try and think of them as helping me move on to reaching my potential. You know I will always remember you both fondly, love T.xxx"</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I have ordered a new computer which will be faster, way more reliable and with LOTS of memory. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also bit the bullet and bought a new smart phone, scary when your phone is smarter than you, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really can't believe how much of my life is spent on the computer these days. :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, now the problem will be a HUGE learning curve for the next few weeks because I have to learn how to use a new computer. Although, it might take me longer to work out how to use my new phone, lol :) Thankfully I have great in-house computer tech support and phone support, YAY for nerdy males, lol, gotta love 'em :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course the first thing I thought about was making it pretty, not how I was going to use it, ever the Artist, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hopefully, it won't be too long before I am fully functional in the computer world again :)</span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope your week is going well :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As some of you may remember I had to pack up my Art Studio space well over a year ago as we were planning to remodel our kitchen (where my art studio was a part of) but (because of other life plans) that never happened completely and so I have been slowly dragging things back (from all corners of the house) to my Art space but it just doesn't have the same feeling anymore and I am reluctant to unpack everything or even hang up much of my stuff back on the newly painted walls (at least we got that part done) or splash them 'cuz if you saw me painting, well, let's just say I'm pretty messy when I paint, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I had been working on smaller art pieces (ones that will fit on the table top) and that has been a challenge for me as I like to paint </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">BIG!</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I got tired of that and bought some larger canvases, the Girl really has to have a larger surface to paint on, that's all there is to it, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My poor easel, has done a major tour of the house multiple times (depending on who was home or what rooms were needed for people visiting at the time) but just before Xmas I decided "She" needed to be back in my Art Space, well, you know how Xmas is, always so busy and crazy, so no painting got done at all. With one thing and another I didn't get a larger canvas onto my easel until March :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But, look what happened, I am so excited :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So not bad but I wish I had taken photos with my DSLR camera 'cuz that Sunset was absolutely amazing; I don't know whether you have ever tried to get anything out of a closed bag on the floor under the seat in front of you on an airplane on take off with your seatbelt on and the G. forces at work but it is pretty close to impossible but I tried anyway, I just couldn't pull it free :(</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, here is the first batch of photos I scanned :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*Note to self - make sure you dust the scanner before you scan photos, oops!!! lol :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">These pesky glossy photos were hard to keep from moving around on the glass surface of the scanner, so rotating and cropping was necessary.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">You can see from the images that my first attempts were not too brilliant. The camera is very simple with 4 settings and an automatic flash (but I think it has a mind of its own where the settings are concerned, lol :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This image was me trying to get a close up, lol :) (there is no zoom lens on this camera and I am so used to one on my DSLR) I have no clue what that green splodgy thing is on the image but it makes the photo look worn and old. I cropped the image to the focal point but the resolution was not great :(</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see using a different camera and a different film format, than what you are used to, takes time, I am still learning and developing (Ha! Ha! Photo joke :) my skills using this lovely little pink camera, I'm up for the challenge 'cuz it is fun :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes not getting that perfect shot you expect makes you more determined to understand the process more :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also mentioned (in the <a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2013/08/all-i-want-for-christmas.html"><span style="color: red;">previous blog post</span></a>) that I had found a film to use with my Son's old Polaroid camera but we were messing around with it at Xmas and taking photos inside in dim light and they didn't turn out so great, so I will be buying a new film again soon and we will see if in day light the camera will perform a little better :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope you enjoyed my little experimenting :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, back in April when I was sharing </span><span style="font-size: large;">with you, </span><a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2014/04/my-year-in-photos-2013.html" style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: red;">My Year in Photos 2013</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> I mentioned there was a little story behind this cute Dakin Santa Xmas Ornament :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, here is that story :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dakin Pompom Santa Xmas Ornament :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This all happened way back one December in the late 1970's. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had impulsively answered an ad. for a position as a Nanny in the back of </span><span style="font-size: large;">"T</span><span style="font-size: large;">he Lady" magazine (basically the British bible for "Domestic" job postings)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was interviewed, in England, by an old friend of the family I had applied to work for and obviously, I must have done something right as I was offered the position, only problem was that the job was in Vancouver, Canada and also, one other little point, I had NEVER met the family, oops! Anyway, so I had to start the long process of applying for a work visa and also renewing my passport, .......but I digress. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, there I was a few weeks into this wonderful job and days away from my first Christmas EVER away from home, in a strange land, oh and I forgot to mention I was working for a lovely Jewish family, so we wouldn't be celebrating Christmas. :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The family were really sweet, 3 little girls, 2, 4 & 5 years old, for me to care for. The Mom could tell I was homesick and had arranged for me to spend Christmas with some of her Christian friends :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She had had a couple of English Nannies before me so she already had a tiny Xmas tree and little decorations for me to put up in my room :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One evening, when I had finished working and was upstairs in my room, there was a knock on the door, it seemed weird because the kids would have just walked in. So, I was a little worried maybe I had done something wrong, this was my first gig as a Nanny, but no, all was good :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was sitting on the edge of my bed reading and the Mom popped her head around the door and with a big grin on her face she said, "There is someone here to see you". I was confused, the only other people I knew had gone to Disneyland for Christmas, so who could it be???</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, one by one, the 3 little girls came into my room, each with a big grin on their cute little faces. And one by one they handed me a little hand wrapped gift. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As they stood expectantly watching me slowly unwrapping their gifts, the excitement was barely contained by all. I unwrapped 3 adorable little Dakin Pompom Xmas Ornaments. An Angel, A Snowman and The Santa. I was nearly in tears; this was such a thoughtful and beautifully planned Gift of Love. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I still remember that night, it is a vividly cherished memory and every time I hang these lovely little ornaments on our Family Christmas tree each year, I get to remember this wonderful Kindness :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I always hang them close together on the tree too! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I hope you enjoyed the story behind my </span><span style="font-size: large;">little </span><span style="font-size: large;">Dakin Xmas Ornaments :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a Lovely Week :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Painting/Creating! :) T.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope your week is off to a great start :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, I have been so busy that this one nearly got away from me this year - how is that even possible?!?! LOL!!!! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of days ago my little blog turned 5 :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh it is all grown up and almost ready to go off to school, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not much has changed on my blog over that time and I keep thinking I may give it a little makeover but, well, I just like it the way it is right now so why mess with it? :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I wanted to say a BIG "THANK YOU" to Everyone who has been so generous with their support, caring advice, friendship and all the wonderful comments that have kept us connected over the years, I truly appreciate you all :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, on this special occasion I wanted to hold a Giveaway to show just how much I appreciate the LOVE :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You know I do not like to give away just one item, so here goes :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First, I will be giving away this lovely iphone 4/4s case with one of my Ocean Waves images on it :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you are all doing well and enjoying life :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For the past few years now I have been keeping score of how many photos I take each year with my Nikon camera and also sharing with you some of the photos that I really haven't had time to share before as the year whizzed by so quickly! (Don't they all, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, for the record I only took approx. 7,000 photos in 2013 compared to the previous years that is way down but still, I got some great shots and feel good about my work progressing :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can see the previous posts and photos here; <a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-year-in-photos-2012.html"><span style="color: red;">2012,</span></a> <a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-year-in-photos.html"><span style="color: red;">2011</span></a> and <a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2011/01/happy-new-year.html"><span style="color: red;">2010</span></a><span style="color: red;"> :)</span></span></div>

New Years Day in Lake Oswego, Oregon. A bright but chilly start to the year :) This is a little glimpse of the Willamette River, the photo is of these old pilings (the birds love to sit on them ) the trees from upstream were getting caught up in them but a few days later (as the river was running so quickly) these trees were gone. (SOOC SHOT)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I truly hope you are all doing well and enjoying life wherever you are :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I keep promising myself that I will blog more and then that "life" thingy just keeps getting in the way, lol :) I know you haven't heard from me much recently but I will get around to telling you all about the "WHY" a little later on in the year (I know it all sounds so mysterious, doesn't it :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, anyway, as some of you know I LOVE to go to Sunny San Diego every year to get away from the Dark, Cold, Windy and Rainy Pacific Northwest Winter and usually this trip takes place around my B.Day at the beginning of March. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, this year was no exception and I went to San Diego to soak up some much needed sunshine, the only problem was it was Dark, Cold, Windy and Rainy in San Diego on my B.Day :(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have never seen this Beach and Ocean deserted esp. on a Saturday, there are usually lots of happy people on the beach and lots of surfers in the Ocean, yep the weather was that bad. No a person in sight.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">Of course the view was still gorgeous to look at and reminded me so much of the Pacific Northwest (which, </span><span style="font-size: large;">BTW,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> I love too :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I was going to show you my photos of the huge and crazy waves crashing across the beach but they are all so gloomy and dark. Then I had an idea, why didn't I show you just one shot and how I quickly worked on it to make it a "Happier" photo :)</span></div>

Here is the Original Shot :) </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I Hope your 2014 is off to a great start :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As my 2014 starts with an adventure (more on that another day :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am looking back at the Ups and Downs of 2013.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't really been a very good Blogger Buddy the past year but........</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have to say that health-wise 2013 was most probably the most challenging I have had to date. I spent the last 6 months of 2013 suffering from Shingles and it is only just now easing off. Six months of exhaustion on top of the crap I already deal with, not a recipe for fun :( </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I guess on the upside the pain was more bearable for me I guess because of living with Fibromyalgia every day, I am used to living with constant pain and so I didn't even know I had Shingles for almost 6 weeks into it, I thought it was some kind of bug biting me, DUH!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, my house was cleaned, from top to bottom, my bedcovers wash over and over and my house sprayed, organically of course, for pretty much every kind of insect known to humanity; so I worn myself </span><span style="font-size: large;">out</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">(and the rest of the family I might add too) doing that rather than resting to recover and so when I finally went to the doctors and they told me what I had I felt like a complete idiot. But again on the upside there isn't a bug within a 20 mile radius of my house who would dare enter, lol ;) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On the up side I got to spend a few weeks this year with my whole family together, one week in Ohio where my Son graduated from <a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-sons-graduation-from-bgsu-ohio.html"><span style="color: red;">Uni (college :)</span></a></span><br />
<br />
<div align="center" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was so awesome and
of course this proud Mama sobbed as they entered to "Pomp and Circumstance" - One, because I actually made it there at all! :) 2. That we were all together for the last college graduation of our </span>little<span style="font-family: inherit;"> family unit :) and 3. The tune is to the song, "Land of Hope and Glory" known to us Brits. very Patriotic and Powerful to a Homesick Girl :)</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-size: large; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then we were all together at home for the Holidays, I felt truly blessed, our time together gets harder to juggle with everyone's schedules and some living in different States too, so every moment is cherished :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We also had a "downsizing" sale in the Summer; the stress of organizing and working that may have been enough to bring on the Shingles, never again!!! (Shingles or any kind of sale Downsizing, Moving, Yard, or Garage, NEVER!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Goodwill here I come, lol :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course, We got to do our <a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2013/03/birthday-trip-to-san-diego.html"><span style="color: red;">Yearly "B.Day" trip,</span></a> (me & Hubby) to Lovely, Sunny San Diego :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, My Hubby and I celebrated our <a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2013/04/30th-wedding-anniversary-celebrations.html"><span style="color: red;">30th Wedding Anni :)</span></a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hi All :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">HAPPY NEW YEAR :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, do you remember back in December last year, (lol, sounds like such a long time ago now!!! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I WON this amazing book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1589237781/crafblog-20"><span style="color: red;">"The Quilt Block Book" by Nancy Wick.</span></a></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20.796875px;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had great fun browsing thru it over the holidays and finally came up with a Quilt Block that I thought would be a challenge (for me) and fun to create :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(If you didn't see my "I WON" blog post you can check it out <a href="http://poppyplacepdx.blogspot.com/2013/12/i-won.html"><span style="color: red;">HERE :)</span></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, here is the square quilt block I chose to make and the final result, plus the tutorial on how I did it :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>The Marbles - Quilt Block Tutorial</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I have to tell you that I am really not good at following written directions and so I really need great visuals to get me motivated and to help me know what the end result will be. When following a skirt pattern, for instance, I can usually make the skirt from the pictures alone, I rarely read the instructions. So, I was really excited that this Quilt Block book had wonderful visuals and concise, clear instructions, (cuz I did have to read these, lol :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the pattern I chose and the fabric I felt might work :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">You can see from the design below that you can use lots of contrasting fabrics on fabrics to create multiple Block Squares to create an eclectic quilt.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My mind was going crazy with color combos but I had to stay focused on making the first one :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">First, I cut out a 6.5ins square of my red with tiny white hearts fabric, (I just had to remember to line up the little white hearts in a straight line for the first cut ) easy enough (this is classed as an easy pattern but wait..... :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It seemed like the obvious thing to do, I cut it out and realised that the pattern would be all wrong because when I tried to fuse the web to the reverse side of the fabric it would be off, so then I had to read the instructions, pin the fusible side to the side you want it to be fused too, sounds obvious but I wasn't thinking (possibly too much celebrating over the Holidays, I guess, lol :) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, then I pinned the traced pattern and fusible web to the reverse side of the fabric, all was well :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I ironed the fusible web (on a low-med heat - no steam) to the reverse side of the fabric and gently peeled off the paper backing on the fusible web.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The next step was to position the "Marble" applique on to my Square, I measured to make sure it was centered and then I pinned the applique to my red fabric and fused it to the fabric using an iron (again, low - med heat, no steam)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I really like how the patterns and colours worked together. :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think I will try the Blue fabric as the background square the next time and either use the Pink dot again for the "Marble" applique or maybe the Red with White Hearts, what do you think? :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is one last step I wasn't able to complete because my sewing machine is being very temperamental (she's old, but don't tell her I said that, lol :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, as you can see from the image below, in the demo photo in the Book they have added a decorative shell stitch to the inner and outer circle, which serves 2 purposes - it pretties up the applique and makes it looks complete and you could use either a neutral colour thread or a contrasting thread and the other thing is it will stop the fabric from fraying. :)</span></div>
