She's Baccccckkkk!!!!!

Once upon a time, there was a girl with a little curl...right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, she was very, very good, and when she was bad she was....EXCELLENT! :) The little girl with the little curl was a happy girl, always starting numerous sentences each day with, "Well, at least....." and smiling anyways, no matter the circumstances. But the circumstances kept piling up and up and up, and her smiles got fewer and farther between, and though she tried, life just sort of sucked her in for a while, and she withdrew from it, and from her friends, and she sort of (OK, very much so) quit living life....for about 4 years. One day, she was smacked into reality by some words that were said to her, and the ton of bricks was lifted off her shoulders, and she was determined to LIVE again by renovating her life. This took a lot of courage, by the way. (She figures her stubborn-ness really DOES pay off....mostly.) So, she started making a conscious effort to live. A lot of this was due to the love of some very dear friends, and to he who she refers to as Mr. Perfect. Mr. Perfect and the very dear friends (thank you, friends....) decided to encourage her to live her dream, and to be happy. So, she started working from home, if you call "working" drawing and coloring. She's trying her hardest to get back in touch with her friends of days gone by...her computer friends, her scrapbooking friends....those that uplifted her when she went through the most devastating time of her life while she was carrying her last baby, and when she should have succombed to heart disease, but didn't. She's hoping those friends will read this, and will tell other old friends, and soon, she'll be reconnected with all of her buddies, both newer and older. She really wants to share her life with all those folks and many more friends that will be new friends and then old friends. It'd make her REALLLY happy to share "phase two" of her life with them. :) She's so excited to be blogging again, to be creating again, and to welcome all those friends back into her life, and to be a part of theirs. She misses them so....even though they probably didn't know it, cuz she really didn't keep in touch. (She's sorry, too, btw.) So please leave her a comment with a link to your blog so she can continue to step back into the land of the living. She's excited to be alive and well! Please remember to bookmark her blog as she will be blogging daily again, old-school-abby-style....she is anxious to share her life with you like she used to. If you are so inclined, you can visit her website (it's not completed yet!) http://www.artbyabby.org/ or see her etsy site by going to http://www.etsy.com/ and then searching for username drawingandcoloring and by checking out her puppies at http://www.perrysparadise.webs.com/ . Drop her an email if you wish. She can be reached on her new email address: complexandcolorful@gmail.com. She's happy to be alive....and so thankful for each day given to her by her Lord. :0)
