Straight Up Learning Curve!


Took on Photoshop...so far I am really enjoying it, although it does have it moments (usually when I don't have the time for it to have its moments!) Case in point...NOW! Will write more later but alas-the clock is calling! Blessings on your day :)

Photoshop Philly!


Okay, I know filly is spelled wrong-but it wouldn't match as well. So I took the plunge and decided to try my hand at photoshop since I was not happy with the Mac version of storybook. I am loving it so far! I signed up for Jessica Sprague's online class for photoshop beginners. I highly recommend her and her style of instruction. Here's my first layout :)

Hmmm...a creative weekend is bliss!


What a delight it is to have a weekend to accomplish life. Errands were ran, blogs were read, naps were taken, bags were delivered, and most importantly, art was created! I have one more day to sit in my room and welcome the creativity that is waiting there for me. This is a very quiet time in my life, and I welcome it with all my heart.

Here is a new artist and blog that I just found. Jen Cushman of Ice Resin/Ice Queen. I am doing the January Jumpstart, and have found some inspiring new artists. Love that one of them mentioned Christy Tomlinson as their inspiration!; small, small world isn't it? Off I go...Blessings!

My Word-Anticipation


Hmmm...as I sit here quietly, I am beginning to feel IT. What IT am I anticipating?-I don't know yet. How IT will appear, or when-I don't know that either. But something is stirring within me. I think I will just let whatever IT is, just rest there for a while; for IT feels peaceful and strong.

Heard a new thought this morning as I was listening to Karen share on Jumpstart 2012. "Creativity is waiting here for me". I need to paint this one up and place it in my artroom. How fun to say that-that I have an artroom :)

It's Friday-they always feel so good don't they?

Well-here we go!


Hmmm...2012, I wonder what you have in store for me this year? I anticipate you, you know. There's always that new smell that I appreciate, know to look for, know to recognize that its special. Well, let's begin, shall we?
