PAINT PARTY FRIDAY GOOD NEWS

Hi Everyone!

I am getting this out very early because I will be gone to my bead meeting tonight. The week has been so busy for me but the best news is that my MRI is benign!!!! You don't know the relief. Or maybe some of you do. So why did I go for an MRI? I have lost the sense of smell. Well not completely. I smell and taste wrong now. It is the strangest thing. I have been trough all the tests and probes. The one that upset me most was the smell test. You sniff 40 different smells and mark the option you think it is. When my Dr told me I only got 10 out of 40 right... I questioned her, "You mean I got 10 wrong out of 40?"  NOPE I only got 10 correct. Anyway life is such an adventure and now I get the joy of smelling things that aren't there. The problem is that when people go through this the odors are never pleasant.  At least we are laughing about it.  OK enough of that but I do want to thank all of you for the prayers, well wishes, healing energy, love and light that was sent to me.

Now for art.
Thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting Paint Party Friday. Go check out all the other amazing artists who join in. You won't be disappointed.
I am so happy to say that I am at 103 days of finished art in 103 days. It is so much easier than I thought it would be. 
Hope you enjoy the art.

Hi there Nicole, really beaut news about the MRI - what a strange thing you have to get used to now in regards to your sense of smell.
Gorgeous artwork, they're so well done. Each subject so different to the other, most beautiful hands in #102 and such a beguiling pose. Cheers now :D)

So good that your MRI is benign! It must've been so scary... It must be weird to suddenly smell and taste differently. Hope it'll go away. And you still manage to make beautiful art every day... I'm impressed!

I am so relieved to hear your good news. I have been thinking of you all week.

Doesn't it feel good to follow through with a goal and discover it is easier than we thought? It used to take me hours to draw one face. Once I stopped using a pencil and eraser, I can now make a face in no time and it looks a whole lot better than when I fussed with a pencil.

You are very good at drawing faces! Your little pieces are delightful in colour and are interesting because you made them with different media! Are they jewelry?

My grandma went practically her whole life not being able to smell anything.
We had to be her nose.

Thanks for sharing, Nicole! Best wishes.
