A lifetime dream...
Yesterday I fulfilled one of my lifetime dreams... You'll see. As a child, I used to play that I had my own store and I made calculators with a rolled piece of paper that I unrolled and pressed as if it had keys. I dreamed about a real one. I longed for one with one of those cute rolls where you could print lots and lots of number! As an adult, I just forgot about it, but yesterday I went to pick up some office supplies ... and I couldn't resist!!! I bought one! (Mr. Danita insisted we didn't needed one... I insisted I NEDEED it!). So I didn't make any art yesterday, I spent all my time typing numbers and adding and subtracting! (it prints in red too!)... I felt like a child again! Mr. Danita told me he hadn't seen me that excited over anything... he was right. And my daughter loves it too! I think she won't have to play with a piece of paper when she gets older :P

I am so excited that you bought one for yourself! My Dad is an accountant and I remember as a kid watching him cram numbers on one. When he wasn't using it I would sneak and play. He would always know I used it because his settings were changed. Anyway, I finally got my own now that I'm all grown up but the memories sure do come flooding back!
Can't wait to see what you do next - the crackled paintings you have on eBay are so amazing!

My sister and I both decided to be "Mary" the perfect name for a secretary!! LOL

I don't think I've commented on your art before, but I'm entranced by it. One of these days, I will have one for my very own!
