Back to blogging

Wow!! I have been offline and away from my blog for far too long!! With having no internet at home and needing all the data I had to use on my phone for work (although it went way over and cost a small fortune) being active on my blog has been put aside.
But I am happy to say that I have internet again and so glad as I see so many online art classes and workshops coming up!
One of the best ones up and coming is LifeBook 2015!! The list of talented instructors for this amazing course is mind boggling! I follow a number of them and just love their work and the thoughts that they share with everyone and I think that anyone taking this course is going to get so much out of it!

This link will take you directly to the blog of one of the teachers and one of my personal faves! She is sharing a journey through life with all of us and I love that somedays she has the words to describe how I'm feeling when I don't have them myself. It's like I start reading her blog and a little light bulb goes on above my head! :) 

Let's get back to blogging and creating and sharing!

Talk soon,

Be Positive

It is something I need to work on every day!! Things have been a struggle for awhile and I need to work on thinking positively on a daily basis. And I need to consciously make the the effort to stay positive. Even if it is only a baby step forward, it is still a step forward.

I think it is time for changes, small, large and all sizes in between. I am going to work on a vision board for myself and put on there the things that I want in my life, I have put it off for months but I think it's time to get to it. I signed up for a card exchange and I haven't done anything like that in years, so it is a positive step to being creative on a regular basis! I have a small girls night of stamping and swapping coming up, yup just found a demo in my area and contacted her and signed right up!! And that is out of the norm for me since I don't usually do things like that unless I know someone!

And this time next year I am going to be part of a couple of online art classes that I have been following and reading blogs from the various instructors, that is my creative goal that I am working towards. Maybe even by summer I'll be doing some classes with amazing teachers like Effy Wild or Suzi Blu These are just amazing talented ladies and I just love what they do, how they relate to all of us and how accessible they are to learn from. Definitely on my bucket list going to do list because it's something I love and want to learn!

And today I went and got all my hair chopped off and dyed it back to a darker brown color. I will post pics of the new do soon, but right now I have an infection in my mouth and my jaw is swollen up to the size of a large orange..lol I'd rather not have pics taken right now. But I went from having hair almost all one length and to the middle of my shoulders at the back to having it chopped, layered, thinned and now doesn't even touch my collar in the back. Big change but I think I like it! :)

No pics to add tonight, but tomorrow I will as I've finished a couple of small mixed media canvasses and I have pics of my cards for my card exchange.

Have a great night all
