Decklin is here!

And what better way to celebrate a visit from my almost 30 year old son than to add him to my art journal shown above and also to my blipfoto journal! I seem to be creating for both of these projects every day now. It is a good thing for me. I am noticing that I often combine my photographs with my artwork.

Some of you had asked or wondered what some of the backgrounds in my art journal were going to turn into, so I created a new Art Journal category on my Blipfolio -and you can visit it here. This is the final result of my May 11th Blip and the folio album will show you the step that is in-between.

Being in the computer age, decklin is working today from my home. I can hear him in the next room talking on Skype to someone he works with. His job now is managing virtual servers for a company that does email archiving, Sonian. Very fitting for a young man who at age 14 built me my very first website. I have been active on the internet since 1995, truly because of Decklin. I know keyboard shortcuts and enough html to edit a little, all because of Decklin and I am probably still so active online, teaching classes online and sharing my art online because Decklin taught me so much. That is pretty cool. And even more cool is that I became a mom when Decklin was born in 1981. That is really something. xo

Later we will do some things together and we will go visit my mom and dad. My dad has been wrestling with health issues, including cancer for the past 3 years . . . he is managing but it is hard sometimes. Decklin really wanted to come visit all of us with his partner in life, Tina. To take time to visit and see everyone, even if some work is still needed to be done. It is so good to be together! Life is precious. Take care, lenna
