A Must See

Hi, I've been working on some pieces to show you soon but thought I would post this video for all of you to enjoy. It is absolutely beautiful. !!!! Enjoy..!!!

Kindred Spirits Project

Hey, how have you all been doing? I've been really lousy at posting lately. The good news is that I've been actually CREATING...YAY. !!! In between visits from the kids, my aching joints I've actually done something. I can't believe how many workshops and classes are out there these days. It's really hard to decide which ones to take. I've also been doing a lot of reading which I had slacked off of for awhile there. If you haven't read the book, Space Between Us..can't remember the author, you really would enjoy it. I'm reading , Room right now. It's keeping my interest so far.
Well, over at Roses on My Table, they have a project going on for one of the ladies who is dealing with health issues. We wanted to brighten up her mood and let her know how much she is thought of and prayed for, so we have gotten quite a few members to create a page for her that will be made into a book and sent to her. You should see the beautiful work these ladies have created for her. My contribution to this project is right here;

back page.

My last post I mentioned I was working with a new technique which I totally fell in love with. I began making small pieces and then I decided I wanted to go bigger. This piece is about 36 x 24 and it is totally done on wood.

I've got a few others to post but I will wait til tomorrow since it is my last day with Paulette Insalls calls Divine Romance. Awesome class, very unique experience.
Well, take care ladies..stay busy and create ....Blessings. !!!

A New Love

Hey, it's been some time I've posted. It wasn't my intention to stay away so long but there have been many reasons for my delay. I'm hoping that you all have had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. It's been kind of blah out this way for the past few weeks actually and I think my mood has been matched by the weather.
Some good things have happened though. My grandson took his first steps all alone on May 22nd ...YAY..!!! They had been on vacation and the little sweetie decided to wait til he got back to grandma's to go off on his own.
I've been taking a few workshops online . One of them is over at Roses On My Table. It is such a wonderful place to find awesome projects and Zinnia is such a fantastic teacher. Her latest workshop is using beeswax and oil pastels on your image. Well, I've got to say, I have found a new love. There is something about the smell of the wax and the texture it gives my pieces that just makes me HAPPY. I can't stop myself from looking for images to use and my ideas just don't fit in my head anymore..lol.
Here are a few of the pieces I've worked on and am working on at the moment.

I am also taking a wonderful workshop with Paula Insall "Divine Romance". This is a workshop that helps you to channel God's work through your art. It has been a very positive experience for me so far and I recommend it to all who would love to project your feelings through your art.

This is what I have so far..

I am also doing my morning pages from "The Artist"s Way" and I need a new book. I found this juicy fat book in my stash but didn't really like the cover. What would any of you do ???? Of course, transform it to your personal liking and that is what I did....what do you all think? Still have the back to do but here is it..

After;

So, I have lots of ideas floating around in my head and am thinking of sharing some ideas with all of you via videos...Is there anything you would like to see or have anything you'd like to share with me just leave me a note and I will get back to you. Happy Creating to you all and many Blessings..!!!!!

It's May...!!!

Yep, can't believe it either. Mother's Day is just a week away, it's crazy how time flies. I've been having a not so good day today..kind of blah. Don't have any idea why it's just one of those days. It's so weird because I've been doing really well these last few weeks. My gluten free diet has been helping me feel so much better physically. I guess now I have to figure out what's wrong emotionally...arrrghhhhh.
I'm sure it will pass, although I've had a really good quiet work day today. I painted and created my little butt off. Let me show you what I've been up to.

First, here is an art journal page I did a few weeks ago, only now it's on a canvas.

It needs a little tweaking but it's just about done.

Here is a finished piece on watercolor paper.

Here are a few I've started today;

These are from my night time journal...I usually like to do a little entry before I go to bed.

This was an exercise for my workshop over at 21 Secrets...Three Little Words.

And last but not least....my grandson Andrew's first haircut...he was soooooo good.

Giveaway

Hi, hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. I spent it with family and it was great. Sometimes when things go unplanned is when they turn out the best...love that. !.
Well, I'm still working over at 21 Secrets and I'm posting this to let you all know that Suzi Blue is having a giveaway on her blog. All you need to do is post this badge on your blog and link it back to her. I was getting a little worried about Suzi there, I know she's busy writing her book but she hadn't posted in a while. Glad you're back Suzi and good luck with your book.



It's a pretty large badge but hey it's for Suzi.

So, I'm off to continue working on my canvas . I'll check in with you guys later.
Have an awesome day. !! Blessings. !

Sit and Sleep...huh?

Crap, I have been sick for the last week. It all started with a little runny nose a little stuffy. So of course it couldn't get better so it blew up into a full size phlegm fest in my chest. I didn't want to go to the Dr. because I was afraid he'd leave me in the hospital. Since I have Sacoidosis and it's in my lungs we need to be very cautious about any kind of infection or cold turning into something a lot more seirous. Soooo, my DH called him and he prescribed some antibiotics and some other meds. Well, it destroyed my stomach and now I have this cough that's driving me insane and I can't sleep unless I am totally upright...:-(. Not fun..at all. I am literally writing this post with some ointment on my chest and neck wrapped up with a scarf to see if it helps the freaking cough any. I generally have a hard time sleeping but this is going to be BAD. Not being able to participate or do anything for my workshop 21 Secrets has got me really, really frustrated. I'm hoping this blows over soon and I can get back to work. I did finish some mixed media pages I was working on and I started one for one of the classes. It's going to be a loooooooong night for me...;

This is a page I was working on a while ago that was unfinished and finally now, FINISHED...YAY !!!

I really enjoyed this piece...reminds me of my hippie days..LOL. !!!

OK, this is one I'm working on and not quite done yet...this is how it started;

This is where it's at right now..

OK, so I will say goodnight and ask you all to say a little prayer for me...let's hope my wrapped up scarf with the ointment will help my cough tonight....

Blessings...and nite..!!!!!!

Thank You Everyone.

Well, another year has gone by and I am a year older..how old you ask? Not going there..lol. !! It's been a pretty good year but then again it's all how we view things. I gotta say it was a pretty good day , got me some nice gifts .I spent it with family and friends which is always the best way to spend your Birthday. Looking at all of the wonderful well wishes I received on FB , emails ,cards...really was the peak of my day. What a wonderful warm feeling one gets when you see that someone takes the time to send you a message and wish you well. I'm very grateful and I hope you all get the same ten fold.
Today I received a package from a very sweet friend from Washington..Chel. I was blown away. Being the sentimental fool that I am, it made me cry. She made these lovely magnets , baked some awesome goodies, send me a cute Blue beanie bear and the greatest Birthday card with the sweetest message. Thanks Chel, you are loved..!!
OK, so I haven't been spending too much time in my workshop this week. It's been one heck of a week though and today I spent what energy I had cleaning up my bedroom. I am pooped. But, I do have a pic of the art journal page I was working on for Tam's class over at 21 Secrets....all finished. I'm hoping tomorrow I will be able to get some artsy stuff done and catch up on some classes...have a great weekend...Blessings to you all. !!!!
