Kindness Is Enough

Hi there and welcome.

I'm so happy you popped in!

I went off with a bunch of friends yesterday and got to play for

many, many hours yeterday and met some new friends.

Most were scrappers and card makers so I may have scared a few of them

with my mixed media creations but it's all good, because I had a fun!

Here's a girl I finished up.

I think she's kind of cute. 

A cross between Christy's She Art Girls and Kelly Rae Roberts style.

Love them both dearly and I have so enjoyed their inspiration!

Happy Hearts

Hello to you and Happy Friday!  I've got a few things today to share. 

First is a sweet little heart I made for a friend......shhhhh.....she doesn't know and won't know who it's from.  I'm just going to send it to her to make her smile and bring her a little happiness. 

These watercolor hearts were inspired by Alisa Burke.  These were part of the 12 Artsy Ornaments of Christmas class I recently took.  LOVED that class.  Wait till you see what I create this weekend with book pages!   

Completely spur of the moment coloring on a random piece of canvas today.  She's kind of cute.  I've been cutting words out of a book and now I'm finally putting them to use.  Sure it's easy enough to type something up to use but when you have to come up with your very own quotes....that's magical!



This canvas heart was inspired by Christy Tomlinson while I took her SheArt2 class.  Christy is simply amazing and so down to earth and talented.   This project was a bit of a challenge for me but I pushed through and I kind of like the end result. 

Okay, that is all for now.  Thank you so much for taking a peak today and I hope to have inspired your creative soul just a bit.  Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Sunday!

Over the last week or so I have been working on making a fabric journal for myself using some of the vintage linens I've purchased recently. Until I actually create on a page I'm not certain I am in love with the journal but I think it'll work.

It's kind of got that tattered unfinished look that I love.  I'll be sure to post my first entry in the next couple days.  I have many thoughts brewing in my lil' o brain. 

Today I read these words: "art is about pushing the boundaries and making a statement."  I found it off Grove's website.  Not sure if it's Grove's or Donna's Statement but I really love it and it makes me feel happy to read it.

My SheArt2 class is in it's second week with 1 week to go.  Gosh, I have been trying so hard to work on my girl's faces but they just don't quite have the look I'm going for.  Today, I did play with some plaster and made the girl's hair 3-D and also added some glitter.  She's cute but I still would rather no face.  The hair and glitter rock...I just wish you could see it better.  I'm hoping soon I'll actually have a face for you. 

Hope you had a great weekend, enjoyed the weather and found some creative juices along the way.  Enjoy your week!

Rain, Rain, Go Away, Come again, another Day...

Hi friend.  I'm so happy you are here today on this rainy, soggy Wednesday!  Whenever it rains I think of being a child and running around my Grandparents yard jumping in every puddle I could possibly find singing the Rain, Rain song for hours.  I love my sweet memories!

I have lots of housekeeping blogkeeping today.  The days are just going by so quickly these days, I need to do a catchup day.  So here goes!

Thank you to everyone who visits my blog with your sweet comments.  Each comment is so appreciated and inspires me to create more and more.  August's Gratitude Gift goes out to Joyce!

She Art Girl No. 3

I think my She Art Girls are coming out pretty good.  This the first online course I've ever taken and it is AMAZING.  I highly recommend any of Christy's classes.  She has a new She Art II coming up and I'm thinking I may continue on.  We shall see!

Vintage Treasures

I had a great time at the vintage market on Sunday.  As you can see, I found a rather large stash of vintage linens.  I'm hooked on them!  Now I need to get busy creating some bags for my friends that loved my bag.

I've rambled enough for today.  My hope is that I've been able to inspire your creative soul even just a little bit today.  Enjoy!

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Hi and thanks for visiting today.  What a week it's been but I won't get into ALL of it just a few things I wanted to share with you today.  First, me and some of my creative girlies took a roadtrip to Absolutely Everything yesterday.  Gosh, how I just love that shop.  Mostly I enjoy the women that work there.  They are all so passionate about papercrafting.  It's just so much fun and such an inspiration boost! 

Something else I wanted to share today are my first two Art Girls.  You've probably heard me talking about Christy Tomlinson and how much I just adore her.  Well, I've now watched her videos from the She Art class about a dozen times each.  Last night, I finally jumped in with both feet and made a couple.  The best part about these is when you make them, they tend to take on their very own personalities so you just never know what you're going to get.  You just need to kind of enjoy the journey with them.

She Art Girl No. 1

She Art Girl No. 2

Well, I've rambled enough for one day.  I'll be back tomorrow with my September Blog Candy and to share my vintage market finds and maybe another She Art Girl.  Let your Creative Soul enjoy the journey!
