If we are artist's we all can be a little crazy...after all...isn't that what is our driving force? Don't deny it, you know what I'm talking about! Lucky for me, my husband is an artist also so I think he "gets" my crazy obsessions. My latest obsessions are sunflower seeds, See's butterscotch suckers and Dubble Bubble bubble gum! ;) He gratefully feeds my whacky obsessions! http://pinkparismatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/crazy.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mackenzie Bergmann)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167375928473163755.post-6671374716056672631Sat, 19 Jan 2008 01:24:00 +00002008-01-18T17:32:44.075-08:00Do you get the feeling...that my favorite color is PINK? Seriously...if I had it my way, my whole world would consist of just different shades of PINK! Maybe with a few token turquoise shades! :) What could be better I ask? ;)Just thinking out loud...Juliehttp://pinkparismatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/blog-post.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mackenzie Bergmann)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167375928473163755.post-8298061466031859283Tue, 01 Jan 2008 03:09:00 +00002007-12-31T19:14:05.159-08:00Here's wishing you all a fabulous and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!I'd so love to hear from you!Love to you all!!!!Juliehttp://pinkparismatch.blogspot.com/2007/12/years.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mackenzie Bergmann)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167375928473163755.post-5242763910646594609Sat, 29 Dec 2007 01:06:00 +00002007-12-28T18:05:45.754-08:00Just when I have lost all faith.....God restores it! Sometimes I feel so discouraged by todays "society". With all the "bad news" on T.V.....the way I am treated on a daily level with customer service (i.e. utility companies.etc...), or in any given industry. Sometimes I wonder if there is any "good people" left in the world. I try to tell myself that there is.....somewhere.

It's been kinda crazy around here. My husband was laid off from his job on October 31st. He worked at his company for 10 1/2 years. We are really feeling the brunt of this bad economy. In this year we have lost our house, our car and Mike's job. I hope the upcoming year will be a little more promising. It is 2 days until Christmas. It will be the leanest year we've http://pinkparismatch.blogspot.com/2007/12/07.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mackenzie Bergmann)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167375928473163755.post-8946749118139134568Thu, 20 Sep 2007 23:30:00 +00002007-09-20T16:40:27.152-07:00Why does God take the most beautiful people!I ask that question all the time! A few days ago God took one beautiful young girl! My heart aches for her survivors. She was 17 years old. She was one awesome artist! I think God takes us home when we've learned the lessons in life we need to learn. Some learn them earlier than others. God took home a very special, beautiful young girl!

The winds of Autumn have revealed itself to us! After a huge heat wave, I so welcome the coolness of Autumn! I must confess the time of Autumn brings such sadness for me, for it's the season I remember my beloved father passed away 26 years ago! (It still seems like yesterday!) As soon as the weather brings on the clouds and the rain I feel such a sadness, because it always reminds me ofhttp://pinkparismatch.blogspot.com/2007/09/autumn.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mackenzie Bergmann)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167375928473163755.post-6918727281166881981Thu, 09 Aug 2007 17:05:00 +00002007-08-09T10:22:30.870-07:00IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!I'm so excited to have my first publishing in Somerset Studio's Magazine which is due out September 1st.

Peering through the glass at the all of the delicious colors of ice cream swirling about. It made me want to just get my hands in there and create something wonderful! You know the one I'm talking about. The one with 31 wonderful, delectable flavors. I'd go there with my dad at least once a week.

Here's some quotes I can identify with. Just a "snippit" into my mind: However dark they may be.“It is just the little difference between the good and the best that makes the difference between the artist and the artisan. It is just the little touches after the average man would quit that makes the master's fame.” Orison Swett Marden quotes “No one should drive a hard bargain with http://pinkparismatch.blogspot.com/2007/01/quotes.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Mackenzie Bergmann)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5167375928473163755.post-4423367636795893621Thu, 18 Jan 2007 03:29:00 +00002007-01-17T19:31:16.222-08:00EmpowermentYou're dreaming about antagonistic people and situations that are threatening to diminish your personal power.
