You probably haven't noticed.....

that.... I haven't been around for awhile.

My life has decided to take some really big turns in the last couple of months an unfortunately Im looking at packing it all in and starting again in a country town. My mum has a permanant condition which has come to the point where she cannot be alone.
Suffice to say it has turned me on my head. I have given myself three to four months to get the money we need to move and organise school etc and work for my hubby...

anyway... I missed this place, so I'm back..... at least temporarily.
Hoping to throw myself into some new art to stop me thinking about my unpredictable future :S !

Oh Tash! Sorry about your Mum, and your upheaval.

I did notice your absence, actually.

Such trite words, but genuine: I hope it all works out.
Keep us posted okay?

Sending you warm thoughts and a big squeeze...

I noticed your absence, too. You work is a HUGE source of inspiration!!!! So good to see you back! One day at a time and one small miracle at a time!

Sorry to hear about your mom. I will pray for your situation and your mom. Glad to have you back.

Definately noticed your absence I miss seeing your posts and work. WOW, some huge changes coming your way...You never know perhaps this town really needs your talents. I do hope you get to enjoy being with your mum, time is short and I am sure that God will see to it that your needs are met too.
Big hugs from Me!! xxxx

Sorry to hear about your mum. Are you planning on moving closer to her?

I grew up in Sydney and moved to northern nsw when I was 21. Never a regret. I think you'll enjoy living in rural australia. Good luck with the transition.

I'm so sad for you Tash. I understand the stresses of uprooting your business. It's what I've been doing for the last year. It's tough, but I know you'll do well.

I had noticed your absence and I'm super glad to have you back even if only for a little while. I hope the painting is therapeutic for you during this time.

I definitely noticed that you haven't been around...missed you!

I'm sorry about your mom, and I do hope things work out as best they can...sending you positive vibes and big hugs <3

sorry to hear about your mom Tash..I know you will be great anywhere you gone....I have missed your post on the forum and pictures.

Peace on your journey, and hope it all works out well.

I was wondering where you had gone!
I am so sorry to hear of your mom's troubles, and what an angel of you to be there for her.
Who knows, your new location may be starving for some good face paint!
Hugs to you and your mom. Glad to see you here!

Tash glad to hear from you and I know a little what your going though my Mom lives with us. Some days are diamonds and some aren't but when life gives you lemons make lemonade and if you aren't driving through in a splash of vodka.

I hope all goes smoothly for the transition and that it turns out to be a blessing in disguise for you and your family, as it will undoubtedly be for your mother.

Very sorry to hear about your Mum, Tash Xx

Really great to see you on here again. Sorry about your mama. I am so close with my mom, they are precious.

Glad to see you are back even if it's just for a while

Are you kidding me?? Yes, we noticed!!!! I'm so sorry to hear of your mums health. I was hoping you haven't been around coz you're fabulously busy with your business. Nice to see you again, hopefully you can find some creative time to keep your sanity. Being with your mum is so important. I hope it can all work out for you. x

SO fantastic to see you and then to learn about the challenges you are facing...you know we are all sending the best thoughts and wishes your way. Once you get settled we can only hope you will share your visions with us again, but until then, you are not far from our best wishes for you and yours.

I know everything will work out and you'll be on an even keel before you know it!

So sorry to hear that Tash but glad to see you back on the forum you know you have all of our support here!

Sending many many hugs to you!!!

I noticed and I'm sorry to hear..sending big hugs across the ocean!

I felt your absense. Like Rae I thought is was coz you were crazy busy working. Stay positive about your move, know that it will be for the better. Warm thoughts for you & your mum. xx

Sorry to hear about your
Mum. Having just uprooted my business from the country to the city I get how heart wrenching it is to be dealing with personal stuff and trying to keep the business you've worked so hard for. On a positive note rural towns are communities with lots of family days, markets etc and your business will survive and thrive through regulars that come back every event and book you for parties and also word of mouth which is huge in the country! You may have to knock ten or twenty bucks off the price sometimes but living expenses are generally cheaper and there is more follow on business from each job. Good luck with the move!

Noticed your absence and thought you had been busy. Good luck to you and your family with your mother. You will find different challenges in the country but I think you will find FP temp tattoos and such are just as popular and the smaller towns seem to have nicer mannered children.

Praying for smooth transitions and better than ever afters!

SO sorry to hear about your mom, it's never easy to take care of a loved one who has an illness like that. I hope the move proves to be a positive one though. T&P for a smooth transition and for your mother's condition to improve...
