Belief Slays the Naysayer

My easel on the table because it takes up too much room when on the ground!
This week my husband surprised me with an easel which was super exciting. Then that feeling of excitement was hijacked by feelings of anxiety and inadequacy. That little naysayer in my head was telling me that only artists use easels- you just make stuff- you are not worthy of an easel.  I am taking a class right now with Kelly Rae Roberts called Flying Lessons and I decided to be bold and throw these feelings out there to see if others ever felt this way. I realized that all of have that pesky naysayers in our head trying to tell us we are not good enough, not pretty enough, not talented enough- all of these negatives. I came up with the conclusion that believing you are good enough, you are smart enough, you are talented enough is very powerful. BELIEF SLAYS THAT NAYSAYER! Kicks it to the curb where it belongs. As suggested by several of my classmates I decided that I needed to paint something and right away before that  little negator won!!!
What better thing to paint than the word BELIEVE.
What is your naysayer telling you?
What do you need to believe about yourself?
Feed your beliefs and not that wicked, sneaky little naysayer!!!!!!!

Until the next time- BELIEVE!

P.S. I am good enough for an easel! LOL

You are the Secret Ingredient

A little weekend inspiration! I am a Stay at home Mommy who has seen Kung Fu Panda a million and one times and I always love the part where Po figures out that he is "the secret ingredient" Love that movie!

What??!!!

So, I have been waiting for these round paper mache boxes to arrive in the mail. I have totally redesigned my crystal soap packaging and it is going to look awesome! I tear open the box and............WHAT?!
The boxes are too small and the other is too large. I had my heart set on round boxes but I may have to broaden my idea to a different shape. Until I get that new shape box in my impatient little hands I guess the Universe is telling me to keep working on my mixed media pics!
This is the soap for which I need the new packaging.



Well, I was going to post the pic I am working on but I seem to be having technical difficulties! So instead of trying to figure that one out now I will actually go work on the pic. I'll post an update later! AAGGHH
Until next time-

New piece I'm workin on!

First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day of school for my Willow. She is 4 years old and started pre-k. She did not cry nor did I. Her little sister Wren was sad though, she missed Willow. Even though I did not cry it somehow proved to be quite an exhausting day for me rendering me null and void of all energy and emotions.
Any who- here are some pics of the first day.
Willow and Wren

Willow posing

Willow tired of pics at this point!!!

On the way to the car!!!
Until next time-
