    Keep It Positive – Do You Know Downscrolling?

    August 19, 2024 /

    Recently I learned a new word ~ Downscrolling. It was used as a reference to negative or triggering content on line and on social media platforms. I loved the tips that this article gave, and thought I’d paraphrase a few for you and hope to give your day an upward swing. Staying positive is so needed in this unpredictable world. It’s so important because being in a negative place (including online and in your mind) can cause anxiety, numbness, stress, health issues and more. Follow feel-good content – fill your on-line content with light-hearted material including funny videos, nature photos, inspiration for and healthy living. Follow influencer’s that are in…

    A Word Found Me

    January 13, 2024 /

    Many enter the new year and choose a word that speaks to them, that holds promises for the new year, or represents something they want to accomplish. There are a ton of other reasons they chose their word. This year I thought about choosing a word, but one just didn’t come to mind easily, until . . . A word found me. I started seeing a thread. First, I have tea very often throughout the day and use my favorite sweetener. See below. When I ran out of one bottle, I started to put it on my shopping list, but realized I had an extra I had purchased. Then I…

    Enjoy the Beauty Close to Home

    August 8, 2022 /

    Recently, my hubby and I headed to the beach early one Saturday morning. Of course we love the beach. I grew up in Sunny Southern California and remember my first Boogie board, meeting friends at the beach, family dinners at the Spaghetti Factory in Newport, the Fun Zone at Balboa, Balboa bars, skating, flying a kite, sailing at least 2-3x a week during high school, and more. My husband has lived in California now for several years and enjoys the beach as well. He enjoys walking the shores, early morning quiet, fishing, and more. With that being said, we headed down to Newport. If you’ve never been to Dory’s Landing,…

    Artwork & All Kinds of Amazing Goods

    March 31, 2021 /

    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…

    Using Recyclables In Your Art

    June 28, 2020 /

    The below art journaling page is made from scraps and some paint. I am always picking up things off the ground that have rusty goodness or a look of old to them. I’m always keeping an eye out for things that have had a prior life or purpose and using them in art. I make sure I clean my hands and the item after collecting it, but recycling, or ‘upcycling’ is something can be fun and make your pages unique. I’m thinking more art journal here, but below are some items you could upcycle; Some things I’ve collected along the way and used include; Metal pieces that are rusty (can…
