    Hi dear Kim,
    Happy New Year once more!!!
    I hope you don't mind that I removed the banner and put you on an active blog list/feed instead - this way people can see immediately what's new on you blog and see changing images as well!!! Looks much nicer, I find!
    Warmly, Petra

    BTW - I got an inquiry about doing a workshop in Australia from one of your gorgeous indigenous artists. Isn't that a small world? Geez - I wished I could go and do soemthing like this - especially as the weather is just dop dead awful here and veeeeery cold!

    Happy New Year, Kim!

    Hope your move is going well. Such a busy time of year, even without moving the trappings of your life from one place to another!

    Sorry I'm late here, as we've just been away for four days, visiting our daughter.

    Hi Dear Kim, WIshing you all the best for the new year and to your lovely family. Just love that portrait of Alexander and his lovely girlfriend. Good luck with the move. Moving is such hard work! All my best to you mate! It is so great knowing you! My aunt was over for the first time and she started crying when she saw our new house and your portraits. She said they were just so amazing and was in awe that I met someone over the internet like this and exchangd paintings! Its really great! xoxoxo Lisa

    Hello Kim,

    A very Happy New Year to you and your family too!

    I hope this year will be kinder to all people... not only economically but in the spirit of love and understanding.

    I hope too that you have moved successfully and that the effort was not as stressing as you had imagined.

    I'm back from a very long vacation and haven't opened my computer since the 25th of December, and the volume of messages and e-mails have mounted so high it would take me a week to complete.

    If you have moved already, I on the other hand am still on the hunt for a new place, and the longer it takes, the greater my anxiety at the amount of stress I will have :-) isn't that a crazy thought?

    This is the year of the ox, a beast of burden...and I suppose it enjoins all of us to work really hard. Just thinking about it makes me want to return to my vacation spot...he he he :-)--Durano, done!

    Hope the move is going well, Kim.
    I hate moving house - all that packing, yuck! I still have boxes that I haven't unpacked from my last move. I should throw them away unopened, if I haven't needed them in 3 years, I probably never will - right?
    New year, new home - hope both are wonderful!

    PS have postponed my trip until next year :(

    I'm sad to learn that your computer had broken during the move. Thankfully, your son still has his own. Hope you'll adapt to your new surroundings quickly. Home is where your loved ones are. Cheers to your new home!
