My not understanding how to do this blog is showing

I am so frustrated with this blog....I keep getting  it more and more messed up..how in the heck did the side show of my digital art get over on the side bar.. and most importantly how to I get it back to the center.

If Any of my friends who might read this blog and no how to help me..I will gladly pay you and give you my password on here so you can have it...

Anyway...poo forgot what i was going to say.....hmmmmmmmmmmm..well  Valentines day sales are starting to roll in in my Etsy shop
http://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetPeasPaperFlower

and Weddings for spring.. I tell you my best and most frequent customers are Australia and canada and the UK...I even send some Roses made out of maps to Singapore.. I didnt have anything other than maps of Wisconsin  to make the roses... not sure anyone else sees the humor in this,, i laughed , of course I am demented sometimes..

I have been using some down time to work on some digital art pieces...I love digital painting on portraits

Did one of my girls.. and granddaughter..Ruby

 And then did another of my daughter and her best friend for her birthday
When i Get really good at this...I may start doing commissions

Some Photos Of my paper Flower

I have a passion for making paper flowers..I Have an etsy shop
http://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetPeasPaperFlower

I am going to incorporate my flowers into this blog.. because I cant remember where my other blog is ..the name of it or anything.. not like it was followed by a ton of likers...i am still learning this blog stuff..
So I make my paper flower out of card stock..curl and shapw and glue until they are a beautiful flower.
Being a retired Floral Designer does help in knowing the flowers inside and out..
So I will start adding photos of weddings I have done..My Customers are starting to send me photos of there weddings And i have there permission to post on my blog...
Here are a few that I have done..























I love succlents

My Life isnt like it used to be

Since my father was in the hospital mid august I have been living with my mother to help her get back and forth to the hospital...it is now nov ....my father was released end of august  in the care of hospice.. at first they told  us he would go to the hospice home.. but no beds were available so he had hospice care in his own room at the hospital..and then the next day we were told he wasnt acute anymore and that he could go home with hospice care...so I have been there ever since seeing my husband a few days a week and getting to go home every other weekend...I wouldnt be anywhere else..taking care of my father has made me strong .
Havent written in a really long time....since my last post my father has passed.. my mom is living with me and my husband and 2 dogs...she has gotten herself a dwarf hamster....Its all working out well with her here..We cry and laugh together and we each have out own space to go and retreat when we need to be alone . I have been doing more digital art..but mostly on digital whisper

http://digitalwhisper.ning.com/photo/albums/my-digital-art-1
think i put that in the wrong place...I will go back later and fix it...have so many paper flowers to make for weddings and mothers day... that i cant devote alot of time to this blog right now...but I plan on getting help and advise as to how to do it properly

Tonight....my Muse came back for a bit

For the past week and a half I have watched my father who is suffering from cancer and the chemo treatments be so sick ..I have never seen him this way..and i feel broken...He's been in the hospital.and so sick and so weak..my daddy who never  complains never gives up said the words to me " I dont think I am going to get better honey"

.Here we are trusting complete strangers to care for the most adored man in our lives....I mean what else do we have..and then I remembered my faith...and I know now that all will be well...God will take care of things...
I havent been able to have any ambition to do any art since then,,,my muse is gone I thought..until i checked into my favorite Web Site Digital Whisper
http://digitalwhisper.ning.com/profile/CaroleAnneFarber
and saw what the challenge was for this week...after reading about it ...I came up with something that I think explains The challenge very well....and odd that this would be the subject at this time in my families life..
The challenge is "Tree of life"
and here is my submission
