Hi!! Welcome to the GROW YOUR BLOG PARTY hosted by Vicki of 2 Bags Full.
I'm thinking this is a great day to have a party since today is my Birthday!!
My name is Audrey. The little fellow I'm holding is our mini doxie, Jake ~ he had his first Birthday in September, he's the first dog I've ever had, and I love him to the moon and back. I post photos of Jake on my blog from time to time.
I lived in Ohio all my life until 2006 when we moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia ~ to a small town that is part of the Roanoke Valley. It is beautiful here and I post many photographs that I've taken showing that beauty in many forms.
Audrey and Jake
I started this blog in December of 2008 and I continue to enjoy blogging to this day. Blogging has introduced me to many wonderful people with like interests and I've made some very good friends along the way.
My main interests are art and photography, but I post articles and photos that have to do with gardening, flowers, trees, nature, family, and anything that I think might be of interest to my readers.
"Silent Color" by Audrey, 2009
I'm caregiver for my 95 year old Mother who lives with us, so I only have limited time to make art right now. I enjoy Mixed Media and if I do any creating, I post photos of it. I love purchasing art made by the many artist friends I've come to know through blogging and I try to remember to post those works of art.

You have a wonderful blog, Audrey. My mother passed two years ago in a couple weeks and I miss her sorely. I was able to caregive for almost four years. It was a blessing. Thanks for doing Vicki's party. Please stop by if you haven't already and sign up for my giveaway. (I'm tardy because my motherboard died and went to the grave!) But, I have a replacement now! Hugs from Alaska. Karen
