I wanted a blog in the worst way but didn't really know what I'd do with it once I got it. That's pretty typical of me - all these fantastic ideas swirling around in my head but not always able to focus on a goal and then work toward it. My friend Faith was so kind and came over and helped me - no that's not totally true. The fact of the matter is that Faith did it all while I watched and asked dumb questions.

I really want to keep up with this blog business. My hope is that I can use it as a vehicle to post some of my artistic endeavors and experiments. Maybe it will help me to keep focused and work toward some of the goals I have set for myself - doing more art for art's sake, stretching my artistic muscles and, hopefully, having some of my art published.

I wasn't sure what to call my blog. Friends have always told me that I have a way with words - sometimes eloquent, sometimes entertaining and frequently profane. Maybe it's the frustrated writer in me but I soak up verbage and vocabulary like a thirstly little sponge. I love the turn of a phrase, the poison in a particularly pointed remark and the poetry of a well turned phrase.

When I was growing up, one of my mother's favourite, and oft repeated phrases was "Sandra you don't need to get the last word!" Since I am the queen of the last word, it seemed totally appropriate that I would name my blog "last wordz". I hope my art, my musings and my "last wordz" prove to be both enlightening and entertaining!
