Hi Everyone,

| "Anticipation" 6 x 8 original watercolor on paper by Carrie Waller |
I want to start off by thanking each of you for continuing to follow my blog and leave your fabulous comments. I love, love, love reading them:) I promise as soon as I'm a little more settled I will be able to correspond with you! I realize how much time it takes to comment and surf blogs so I greatly appreciate your time, support and friendship:))
I managed to finish up a few commissions during my move. I have a few to go but they'll have to wait until my studio is unpacked. I painted another ball jar painting. It's a 6x8 version of my large painting "Anticipation". I'm pretty sure I can paint ball jars in my sleep now, which is a good thing because I was up until all hours in the hotel finishing this piece up. It was interesting:) But this painting went to a very special lady so I'm thrilled to have her add it to her collection.

| Our Move |
I am now officially living in Arkansas!! So far it is a beautiful place to live. I will admit I wasn't too thrilled when I heard that was where the Air Force was sending us, but so far I'm really enjoying AR. I love our house, I'll share pics soon, and I have a designated studio space.

| Some of my broken china--first time we've had china broken since we've been moving |
 |
| And a majority of my picture frames were damaged. Either tape on the frame pulling the finish off, or stacking multiple pictures together without paper in between them. |
Our move has been not so thrilling. This has been the worst move in the 11 years that Brian and I have been doing the Air Force thing (Brian's been AF his whole life-the son of a retired AF Lt Col.). I am currently on page 3 of our claims form which is not a good scenario. Usually you have a handful of items that you have to claim but this has been ridiculous. It was the most incompetent packing crew I have ever had. So if you are thinking of moving with Swanee/Benkins think it through especially coming out of the Montgomery, AL area.

| This is my new studio space--As you can see it needs a bit of work:)) |
Thanks again for continuing to read and comment. Miss you guys and I'll be over to your blogs soon!
Carrie
