AM I A PAINTAHOLIC????

I've been giving this a lot of thought lately - and that in and of itself is quite frightening to be honest with you.

Danni, from  SILO HILL FARM  and I were talking and I mentionned that I was going to take 2 weeks off from painting soon - and she said - " bet you can't do it "
And I thought " what kind of a response is that ?"

And then it dawned on me - that she thinks I physically cannot NOT paint LMHO..............
Funny funny stuff...................
Until I thought about it for a bit - and I realized something.

I don't think I can do it - I really don't think I could go 2 weeks without painting something -
HOW SICK IS THAT????????????????

How the hell does one get addicted to painting furniture - and even more importantly how does one wean herself off from this so called addiction?

It's not like they have Painters Anonymous
There's no 12 step program
There aren't any halfway houses that I'm aware of either ( and I'd probably end up painting them anyway )

Next one up is this one - I'm starting it tonight........................


It's a dessert table.......................a very very old dessert table,
From the Titanic!!!
No, not really - but it does have some history.................

My name is SUZAN SWEATMAN and I AM a paintaholic...................

Gone too soon.................Prayers for Tobey

Well here I am again talking about someone's loved one leaving her all too soon.

Tobey from Tobey's Treasure lost her husband very very suddenly 2 weeks ago - he was only 56 and they
were about to start an exciting new phase in their lives - moving across the country from British Columbia to Ontario to be close to family and to find their dream farmhouse.

One moment the dreams were alive and palpable and oh so close to becoming a reality - and the next moment her beloved Brian was gone.

And I feel as heartbroken for her as I did for Pat ( Gypsy Heart & Soul ) when she lost her beloved granddaughter Abby.

These friendships we form through blogging are real - even though we will probably never meet more than 1 or 2 - intimate parts of our lives are revealed and sometimes connections - very deep connections are formed - intricately so.

Hearing this news broke my heart - please take a moment to visit her and offer your support through prayers or good wishes - or kind words - let's do our part to lift this broken angel back up as gently as we can - she has a tough road - a long tough road ahead of her.


Rest in Peace Brian
Rest in Heavenly Peace......................
