Out of the blue ...and pink!

Play_wish_001 New work on canvas! 9" x 12" canvas panel ala shabby chic style!

I have no idea where this came from! Y'all know that shabby chic is just not me! LOL I had a time scanning this piece..blurry yes..bigger than the scanner ..yes! But I am really loving how this piece turned out! The online bit does not do it justice! Titled "Play Wish."

A little while back the beautiful and talented ArtJunk aka Lia invited me to www.facebook.com Paulette is over there too! I seen that Paulette had added her wonderful youtube video of her at work in her studio and that got me a thinkin! I thought...since I cannot get out and about to teach...why not do a video!! Hmmmm! It might not be real soon as I have to work out all the in's and out's for it! I know I don't always get to what I say I want to do or going to do..so I am a procrastinator LOL.. But I thought what a wonderful way I could teach! So, then I thought why not ask everyone what they would like to see...just a video of me at work? An art journal class ala Crowabout? Tutorials? Give me some ideas here..it would help me to get off my lazy arse and do something fun with y'all for a change! Whatcha think?!

I woke up at 5am! wtf! LOL I was having hot flashes! LOL ugh! And hubby complains at night about the bedroom being an icebox! So he turns of the AC...(mumble, grumble complain) I told him it is either that or I take up space in our freezer LOL  Serious! It gets that warm for me! Tonight I am telling him to bundle up it's gonna be a chilly night in the house! LOL

I had an out of the blue visitor to my blog last night! My brother! Larry!!!!! Yay! BTW Larry check your email sweetie! hee hee I sure hope he visits here more often! AND GET A BLOG DAMMIT! LOL So all us gals can visit with you! And so I can see what gorgeous creations you've been making!!!! Larry is so very talented in so many ways and I would so love it if he would share his daily thoughts with us! Ahem! Love you Larry with all my heart and missing you bunches! Gosh I wish we were closer so we could go out again! Larry and I hit a karaoke bar one time and had such fun! He sings so well too! And what fun he is to hang out with!

There are so many things I miss about living in the North West...Most of all family! And the other knowing my way around town where I was actually driving then. Unlike here in SC. Although the town I was living in, in WA had a lot of crime and gangs...so that part I don't miss.

Ok enough of that! I am outtie here for the moment! Got to find me some breakfast!

Happy Creating and much love!

Yay!!!!

002 Well yesterday held the least expected surprise for me! My neighbor is an artist too! And a photographer! YIPPPY! I got to go over to her house last night to chat with her (Holly) and her Mom! I had the best time sitting with them and giggling about this and that! So now I have not only  a coffee pal (Hollys Mom) but an artsy pal to have play dates with!!!!!! I showed them my art journals and they loved em! I think Holly is hooked on the whole idea of an art journal..so I am going to be making her one today so we can get together and make messes with paint and glue and paper! :D I hope I can talk her into getting a blog so yall can see her work! I'm so excited! Can ya tell!? LOL

Anywho! I have a new piece "Sugar and Spice" on 9x12 canvas panel! Isn't she cute! Me wuv her! I won't bore y'all with commercial stuff...so ...you know where to find her! ;)

Now I am off to make some journals(I need a new one too btw) hehe Tomorrow I will post some of my art journal pages that I did over the weekend!

Much love to all and Happy Creating!

Of love and angels....

Angel_o_mine_001 My way of showing that angel's walk this earth...I had a bit of an emotional breakdown yesterday...I guess I am not dealing with this change of life too well. I went through so many emotions yesterday and if it were not for my dear sweet hub..I think I would of competely lost it. I love you Robert you are my angel! And don't be feeling bad for me..it's all good.....because good things happen when you hit bottom!

Like this! "Angel o' mine" Created with the love my hub gives me and the love I feel for him! Although it might be just a bit to girly-girl for him *hee hee*

I have it sitting on my desk right now and just lovin it! See I even put some of Gramma's buttons on the bottom of the piece! Now come on... I used something besides paper!!! LOL

I am doing much better today desite my stomach feeling like someone tied a knot in it! But I got an angel looking out for me! Do know any angels that walk this earth? Have you told them you loved them lately? And for all of you out there...blog sista's, visitors and lurkers....Much love to all of you and may angels watch over you too!

Happy Creating!
