Purpose – An Art Journal Spread
Recently I spent some time in my art journal and created this odd but fun spread with dinosaurs. The title that came to me was from a sticker and it says, ‘Found himself in a strange land.’ It just reminded me that sometimes I do find myself in odd places in my life but there is still purpose in those times and circumstances. Maybe those unusual challenging times stretch and grow us, or possibly they make us more grateful. Those strange times and events may be taking place so that we can help someone walk on this journey called life, or maybe in turn, they are encouraging us. I want…

ICAD What?
If you’re a crafter and you hop on any social media platforms, you might notice the word ICAD? What in the world is an ICAD? Well, during June and July, a challenge takes place called ‘Index Card a Day.’ That’s what an ICAD is. The challenge? You create on an index card beginning June 1 and ending July 31. That is 61 artful index cards. So I’ve been sharing a few. While on vacation for two weeks in Minnesota, I had very limited supplies but managed to keep up some. It was fun challenging myself to create with just a few supplies. For a lot of my cards I did…

Art Journaling, the Flea Market & an Update
Life has been busy recently with lots of ups and downs. We traveled to Minnesota where we explored waterfalls, visited dairy farms, cheese stores, a coffee shop in the woods near Duluth, held a memorial for my father in law, spent time with family, spent time at a lake house on Lake Minnetonka, and more. I also managed to get Bronchitis. Upon returning I lost a dear friend to cancer, attended a lovely wedding, and celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. It’s been a little wild. Whew. I don’t know about you all, but I love the adventure of attending a flea market.. Whether to stroll and just view the treasures…

Artwork & All Kinds of Amazing Goods
So recently I drew and painted a little ‘Some Bunny Special’ as well as a Springtime Whale. I posted it and some friends were interested in having their own copy. You can find those little painted precious creatures HERE. So . . . I did a thing. This is a total work in progress, but I thought I’d share with you, that I opened up a Society6 storefront. Basically, I’ve uploaded some of my artwork and Society6 offers that artwork on many different items from stainless steel water bottles, apparel, bedding, furniture, coasters, notebooks, stationary, mugs, and so much more. Below are just a few items available available at the…
