Life gives us a lot of challenges to put it mildly. In my late 40s, circumstances have prevented me from returning full time into the workforce. So I took what I had been doing part time since I was in my 20s and decided that now is the time. Your comment about just sitting there exhausted on the floor at your wits end reminded me of myself. That was a wonderful message you were given. Look forward to enjoying more of your blog. I love where Women Create. One day I hope to have my own little shop or barn (LOL). I give you many praises for your wonderful writing - I get so much writer's block on my blog. I find it easier to communicate with customers and clients on my f.b. page. I wish I had a ghost writer. I prefer taking pictures.

Yes, I do hope we meet someday in Kerville (or better yet, why not Paris, France - as long as we are traveling....) Thank you for such support. And Virginia, you can go to werewomencreate.com and order the issue there, I believe. So glad you found me. You will love the publication - Jo (the editor) does a great job in celebrating and encouraging creativity in women.<br /><br />Take care<br />ElizabethElizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-65810414111507119452010-08-10T15:55:21.142-05:002010-08-10T15:55:21.142-05:00Hi Claudia, Mary and Creative Life,

Yes, I do my own photography and took the photos of my studio/office. If I had it my way, my book would have been by now, but...God has His own timing which always seems to be better than mine. You all will be the first to know... :-)<br /><br />And Leticia,<br />Thank you for being my newest follower! So glad you found me!

The color on the walls is by Ralph Lauren and it is called Artist Studio (isn't that a cool name?) I aged it down very lightly with a glaze. The wall was already textured a little (old home). I use a flat finish, which is the hardest finish to use a glaze on - most use an eggshell finish - but for whatever reason, I taught myself the hardest way. I also use a brush with the glaze, which again, is the hardest way to do it - most use a rag or a sponge. <br /><br />The paint is really pretty without any glaze at all. My friend used it in her kitchen and it looks really nice.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />ElizabethElizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-77829039148410968162010-08-10T15:35:35.509-05:002010-08-10T15:35:35.509-05:00Hi Pam!

I will be honest here....when I dug out those old photos of my old space, I will admit, I was a little horrified. It is funny how our memories can work. We can either focus and remember only the worse or the best. And while I thought I really remembered the bad times, I guess I remember with rose colored glasses because I don't remember it being THAT bad...but I DO remember the HEAT and flooding. (And mice!) But the pictures are a strong reminder that I guess I choose to remember more of the good than the bad - or maybe my memory is just indicator of how I moved on and love my new little office?<br /><br />Or...I am just getting old and can't remember a damn thing anymore.... :-)<br /><br /><br />Love<br />ElizabethElizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-16596509426584777362010-08-10T15:32:10.011-05:002010-08-10T15:32:10.011-05:00Hi Barbara!

My problem is that many times I am busy making my own way when all along, life is so much easier (and better) when I quit being bullheaded and realize He is trying to tell me something and I actually listen! Lucky for me, He doesn't give up and He doesn't stop guiding.<br /><br />Glad you wrote. <br />ElizabethElizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29659542.post-12414495436694768302010-08-10T15:20:41.887-05:002010-08-10T15:20:41.887-05:00Hi Wild Raspberry!

There are a few items in some of your pictures that I would love to zero in on and fade out just as a nice backdrop to my printed information. You'd barely see them but I'd love to use them to sort of balance out my website's design and color pallette. I would give all credit to you (your story and work is my inspiration for FINALLY having the guts to trust God and open up my business) and I could also link back to your blog and website when I reference your photos if you'd give your permission. If this isn't okay or you don't feel comfortable with that I understand. I would in NO WAY be claiming this as my own work, it's simply a faded backdrop. I'm praying you say yes because I know my customers would just love you and your style! I'm waiting patiently for your answer!<br /><br />~BrittanyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
