My New Tool

Today I received my new dry erase board in the mail! It is another one of my attempts at getting my life organized. I just don't get how people do it!!?? Miss Pink Dandy Chatter http://pinkdandychatter.blogspot.com/ suggested that I try a dry erase board. It is here and I am excited- now to put it to work! I will keep you all updated and how it works out!
Peace, Love and Light

P.S. I am loving The Event, it is right up my alley and very intriguing. Great acting and actors as well.

Sunday, Sunday...

Going a little crazy!!! How long can this day possibly last?

Time to Discover New Peeps!

It's time to go out into cyber blogging land to discover new people, interesting lives and cool stuff!!

My Art Space!!

Ok, I am in need of serious help! Organization! How organized can you possibly get in such a small space?! You haven't even seen the closet in which I moved half of my husbands clothes out for storage! LOL!!! Needless to say, I am off to organize, clean kitchen, fold clothes and other misc. motherly/wifely duties and make it to bed by 10:00!!!! I have 1 1/2 hours--- can it be done--probably not but I will give it my best!
Peace, Love and Light

My Girls

Ok, so today was a pretty uneventful day. Well I shouldn't say that because my girls, Willow and Wren always keep me on my toes. Since I talk about them so much- here is a pic. This is a rare one too because they never want to stand together for a picture. I have plenty of them seperately but only about 5 together!

Have a great Monday night! I am going to check out The Event!
Peace, Love and Light

Sunday Blog Hop

Send me Pearls of Wisdom and Advice

Today I am feeling very defeated and inadequate. I would love all of the artistic stay at home mommies to send me some advice and encouragement! How do you do it? How do you make it all work? How do you carry the tasks of Mommy, wife, home keeper togetherer (ok- I know it is not a word but it works for me right now!) and still have time to create art and these wonderful blogs!? HOW... I don't want to be WonderWoman


Although it would be really awesome to have an invisible jet and the wrist thingies are pretty cool--- but I would like to be able to meld everything a little better.
HELP!
Peace, Love and Light

Follow me and I'll follow you!!!!

Fixin' a Camera

This evening, once the kids were tucked in, I took my camera apart to try and fix it. My oldest Daughter broke it while trying to be a photographer. I know nothing about fixing cameras but since we can't pay to have it fixed and can't get a new one anytime soon- I thought what the heck. I love to take things apart anyway so what could it hurt? Once I finally got it back together- it worked! However, no zoom.... :-( That is what I need the most to take pictures of my jewelry, soap and other arts. I am grateful that I will still be able to take pictures of my girls but-

Girls Morning Out!!!

Today was my girls morning out! Most people have girls night out, I have a morning! I love and cherish my Tuesday mornings. I get together with my girlfriend and we talk about art and we laugh. It is great to get out and get a break from the kids and I always leave totally inspired!
I have been working on this multi-medium canvas and will have to say I am quite pleased so far with all the browns, pinks and golds!

Have you checked out my awesomely fragrant soaps with a crystal energy core? They smell super yummy, have wonderful colors and contain a crystal in the center.
You know you are intrigued, you know you want to see it- come on, just do it.
The links are over there to the right- no, your other right. Do you see them- just click on them...
You know you want to -just do it, right there



There you go---now click and enjoy!

Blog Hopping baby!!!

Blog hopping Baby!!!
Here is another hop I'm trying, will blog later after kiddos are in bed!!!

Cutting, pasting, rubbing, sticking

I have a bit of a rant I would like to go on but it will have to be saved until later tonight or another day. 6:30 am- 8:00 pm with a 2 and three year old has me wanted to curl up in a little ball uttering, ba ba ba ba, like Goldie Hawn in Overboard. (love that flick!)


So, I am going to get some much needed therapy and cut, paste, rub and stick!
Screw laundry, cleaning and any other motherly, wifely duties!!!!
Peace, Love and Light

Little Miss Silly, trying to stay up late.

I am a stay at home mom of a 2 year old and 3 year old. Both girls. The older one, Willow, goes to bed at 7:30 sometimes we let her stay up until 8. Today is a 7:30 night because my husband and I both have alot to do. This is my only creative time to paint, blog, make earrings etc. She figures if she can make us laugh then she won't get fussed at for getting out of bed- well she is pretty smart and right. As I am sitting down at my art desk in rolls Willow wearing underwear around her neck and on her head with a deadpan look on her face and says"Look, it's underwear." Of course I crack up and tell her to put it away and go back to bed. 2 minutes later, in rolls Willow with pants on her head and the legs wrapped around her neck like a scarf. This girl is something else!

On another note, I am loving the blog hops! I get to find people that I may not have found and new people can find me as well!! Lovie it! My experience has been very positive so far. Thanks to all the people that have popped in and all the future "popper inners"

Time for house work crap, then the creative fun!!!

Peace, Love and Light

My first try at a Blog Hop

Ok, so I found out there are these things called Blog Hops. It is such a great idea to discover new people and for them to discover you! This looked like a pretty cool one so I am going to try it! You should try it to!!!! So I believe all you have to do is click on the icon below and follow the directions. I will let you know how it works out for me and you can tell me how it works for you!!

Will I ever make my mind up? Probably not... HAHAHA!!!

Here I blog again on my own, (ok, cheesy Whitesnake reference) I have changed the appearance of my blog once again and I'm sure it won't be the last. Just too many options and I keep on learning how to do new and different things. It is very stimulating and exciting for my brain after playing with my 2 and 3 year old all day! Gotta keep that brain stimulated baby!  I have been so busy with this in the evenings that I haven't even made any new art but I suppose this is an art form unto itself. Just checked on my little Willow to see if she was asleep- and she was- atop a mound of pillows like the Princess and the Pea. Time to put on my Ipod and listen to my new book- John Sanford- Rules of Prey- and do the fun things like laundry, cleaning the kitchen blah, blah blah... Then back to the fun stuff! CREATING!!!!!!!
Peace, Love and Light

AAAGGHHH!!!

It is 10:24, I should be turning into a pumpkin about now but I just can't seem to get enough knowledge! My brain just wants more! Being a brand new blogger, I look around at others blogs and what a great job the have done and how kick ass they look! Not as computer savvy as I want to be but I know with my continued hard work and persistence I can get there. After all, I have only been at this for a couple of days... Deep Breath...
Peace, Love and Light Y'all

Back to the Drawing Board...

I need to change these colors!!! Still working on the look of my page. I also need to create a blog banner and have no idea how to go about this task!!! It is 10:30 in the morning and I am hanging out with my 3 and 2 year olds, Willow and Wren, alas, there will be no designing until tonight after my 2 little monkeys are safely tucked in bed!!! I suppose I can dream and plan in my head until then!
Peace, Love and Light

More changes, more learning to go...

A sample of the soap I make with a Rose Quartz in the center.

Well, it is 8:15 pm and my "me time" has just begun. Both kids are finally in bed and I have approximately 2 hrs to fit in art, blogging, finding the perfect design for my blog and laundry, cleaning the kitchen. AAAGGHHH!!! Today was my adult morning out. Tuesday mornings I get together with my friend and we talk art. It feels so great to get together with someone who has the same interests as I and she always totally pumps me up and inspires me. Tonight I am going to try and post a pic with my blog. Yea- that just worked. I am going to start uploading pictures of my works-n-wares!!! If you like what you see, you must check out my website and store.

Working out the Kinks

So, yesterday was my first official blog. Whoo hoo!! I also have my first follower! Thank you Aquariann for checking me out, giving me encouragement and being an inspiration. I would also like to thank my friend Courtney who put this mantra in my head, "Less farming, more pimping!"  Courtney- you have always been such a great cheerleader for me!! I am finding out that this blogging thing is not that easy. AAAGGHHH!!! There is alot to learn if I want it to work the way I imagine. I am discovering new things around every corner and soaking it all in to my crazy brain. The background image is kick ass however, I don't like the way it makes me feel confined, so I think I will be changing that one tonight. Finally figured out how to link to my website and handmade store.(major accomplishment for me)
With that being said, here I go again!
Peace, Love and Light

P.S. I can't take pictures of my new stuff because my little 3 year old broke my camera. :-( I will have to take it apart to see if I can fix it!

Brand Spanking New Blogger

So, I have decided to start blogging. Hmmmm. This is all very new to me and I suppose I will just learn as I go. Being a bit of a perfectionist this process is driving me nuts. I want everything perfect the first time- just how I want it to be and look. Realizing that this will not happen, I have decided to just roll with it and learn as I go. So this is my official first post to see how it looks, where it goes and learn the process.
Peace, love and light
