Goodbye Lavender Eyes

Legendary actress and activist Dame Elizabeth Taylor dies at 79


known for her films 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' and 'Butterfield 8' (for which she won two best actress Oscars, she was nominated for 3 others) as well as 'Cleopatra' (my daughters favorite film) as well as her many marriages, (twice to actor Richard Burton) Elizabeth Taylor was a child star who developed into an accomplished actress, in later years she was one of the first advocates for those with HIV-AIDS. She is survived by her four children, ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Still Winter Here

We got about three inches of snow, just after the last of the snow pack melted. *sigh*

So haven't been able to get out much on the kids Spring Break, because they've also had fevers and colds.

Worked a bit on my Kagetora Yuzen but have to let it sit for a bit (too bright in the studio) I stop and do spot cleaning here and there, but I really can't work at it with kids home. On monday (after my first physical since I can't recall) I'll be cleaning the studio.

I'm one of those people that once I get going, I just keep cleaning until there is nothing left!

More orders for prints and merch Aid Japan processing, I'm really happy about that, and I do have messages that people will be getting things later on when their paychecks come up.
