The lovely Joy of Frock Files!  

Do you know Joy or her blog?  If you don't, I highly recommend reading her thoughtful writing and visiting her gorgeous blog.  It's quite a treat! 

Thanks to everyone who entered to win my little piece of art!  Hopefully painting will become more a part of my daily routine and I'll have more of it featured here on my little nook of the internet.  

Anything you'd like to see here on the blog?  I'm trying to figure out what direction C Squared W will take here in America, and I always love hearing what you think!

Well hello there!

I know I've been a stranger in these parts lately, but life is crazy and full of transitions for us right now.  We're back in America and have been enjoying seeing old friends and family (although I know there are still lots of favorite friends I haven't had a chance to see yet - don't worry, we'll make it happen!), traveling (to North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee), celebrating weddings, and getting adjusted.  

There has been lots of studying for Charlie as he prepares for the next phase of medical school (clinical rotations) and studies for the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam (Step 1).  I'm a working girl and spend my days doing odd jobs, unpacking, and organizing all of our goodies that have spent the past two years in storage.  

We're finally starting to feel slightly settled (for now!) and I'm hoping to figure out how to make blogging a part of my life in America.  I've missed it and woke up today ready to write a post - even if it was just a quick one to say hello and catch up! 

I'd like to thank everyone who reads this little blog for their love and encouragement.  This blog has been a fun project and I've loved the opportunities I've had to connect with so many great people through blogging.  Thanks for always inspiring me and making me so exciting to turn on my computer in the morning!  

To show my thanks, I thought I'd share a piece of my art with one of you.  This is a little 6" x 9" oil painting that I did a few years ago, and I know that one of you will give it a special spot in your home.  

To enter to win, make sure you follow my blog and leave a comment here to let me know.  You can also like our Facebook page for an additional entry, just be sure to leave a second comment.  Enter between now and Sunday, November 11,  and I will announce the winner next week!

Have a good one!

I have cool friends!

Remember back in August when my blog became cool and grew this awesome mustache with the fun ikat header?

My talented friend, Katie, created it and installed it on my blog.

And guess what?  She just launched her own blog design studio, Priceless Design Studio.  She is so talented!

It gets even better....

Priceless Design Studio is hosting a free blog makeover giveaway to celebrate its Grand Opening!  Katie is also offering $25 dollars off any blog design purchased before January 5th.  Go check out her beautiful, new site at: www.pricelessdesignstudio.com for more details on how to enter.

Now that she is a pro at working with Blogger and Wordpress, I need to get a custom blog makeover for my entire blog soon!  Perhaps I'll treat myself to a Christmas gift?
