Hello Again
I’ve been wanting to post for a while now and just couldn’t seem to make the time. However, tonight I had a few minutes before bed so I decided to pop in. I’ve actually been making some art lately, both tangible and digital. I’ll explain more about both at a later...
Happy Friday!

A Book For New Friends
My husband and I recently went home to visit my family during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. While there, we met some friends of my parents and were invited to visit their home. It was a very nice visit and so we wanted to send them a special thank you...

New Goodies
I received the newest inky goodie package from Traci Bautista this week. I have to say, this may be the best one yet! The colors are scrumptious and 4 of the 5 inks have glimmer and shimmer. I definitely have an affinity for all things even resembling bling!...

T Stands For Totally Fine
I was supposed to have a meeting today at work with an out-of-town "dignitary" to kick of the first of a three day work session. Unfortunately, Delta Airlines decided to have a complete brain drain two nights ago totally messing up flights and schedules of...
More #tbFloralDelight
I haven't been able to paint too much the last couple of weeks but I did accomplish one nice piece. I watched one of the demo class videos several times and I took notes of the prompts that were given. Then a few days later I attempted to create my own...
My Journal Monday — Week 31
To continue on my Floral Delight obsession, I decided to use some of what I have already learned to encourage a friend. I chose to make a small item of sentiment with some blooms and then I opted to add some greenery for fill. No. It isn't perfect...
