I'm waist deep in spring cleaning here at Angieville and just wanted to take a moment and give a shout out to my sweetheart of a brother-in-law for the new banner, which he hand painted in a fit of spontaneous awesomeness. Clearly, he's a kindred spirit. We love a good story. Yes, we do.
I haven't wanted to talk about this. With anyone. But I think I probably need to. That like Georgina, I need to use my words to break the curse. I think that like Sam, I need to believe in my cure. So I'm going to talk about it here, and maybe you can help. Since pandemic type things got real in my neck of the woods, I haven't been able to read. I haven't been able to reread . This has (and I am not exaggerating) never happened to me before in my life. I know it happens frequently to most everyone. And I have certainly always been a mood reader. It's not in any way uncommon for me to drift from book to book, from shelf to shelf in my library, until I land upon the right thing. But that drifting tends to occur over the course of a few hours. Not ever does it occur over the course of a few days or, God forbid, weeks. I feel like I'm losing my mind. And, yes, I am fully aware of where this problem likely rates on the triviality scale in the current scheme of
Holy .....guacamole.

Wow, that is GORGEOUS. Well done to your brother-in-law!
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow!!! Your sweetheart of a brother-in-law is incredibly talented. That is one beautiful painting... he captured the essence of the stories you love perfectly. I'll be visiting more often just so I can admire it. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! Gosh, I can't stop staring at it!
ReplyDeleteLook how pretty it is!
ReplyDeleteThat is talent--serious kudos to the artist.
love it!! =)
ReplyDeleteThe banner is gorgeous, and the site looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat banner is magnificent! (And I love the new pic of you, too.) Now I need to go out and find me a talented brother-in-law. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it love it. He is talented isn't he.
ReplyDeleteThat is an incredibly clever (and pretty!) banner. Very very nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat everyone else said! Beautiful new look :) Me likey.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! He totally took me by surprise with it, too. Better than anything I was envisioning, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteDiana, sigh. Poe is the only thing it lacks.
Christine, he did, didn't he? Must go bake him some cookies.
Chelle, DH convinced me to change the pic on the grounds that the old one was "a bit on the creepy side." I believe those were his words. Glad you like the new, less-creepy version of me. ;)
Oh, I liked the old one just fine. It was quite artsy and dramatic, not at all creepy. I can tell you one thing: If I took pictures nearly as well as you do, I'd actually have one on my own blog.(And that? So not gonna happen.)
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLove your new look! You have some talented folks in your family!
ReplyDeleteWow. Just wow. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI like the new layout, your header is so creative & pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! Just beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely job he did Angie! Fabulous new look too. :)
