Gift of Love Winners

I have drawn the winners for The Gift of Love Giveaways, & the Congratulations to,

Why oh why...

Why oh why, do places after so long of not longing in make you have to recreate your accounts. Something so easy, has just turned into on big old pain in the butt. Now this week will be spent getting everything in order instead of just creating. sighs..... I really wanted to just have fun and create!! The pains of trying to simplify your life....

I know, I know...They do it to keep down unused accounts and spammers. It's just sometimes a big old pain, to have to log into the accounts every few months. Sometimes life gets in the way and you forget about doing them, then you loose your accounts without realizing it, and then your hoping and praying you can get everything back.

Ok, Enough ranting.
Enjoy a cute kitty picture, of Miss Haven from Christmas. :)

Happy 2015

Happy 2015!!!
A new year, a new beginning, a fresh start.

Last year was pretty good. It had it's ups and it's downs, but nothing to bad.
Heath wise was better then years before, which was a big plus and allowed me to get a lot of art and designs created. My eldest daughter, graduated from high school!! Very proud momma here. It was just a good year.

Now, by now you know I do not do resolutions. I rather set goals for myself to hit through the year.

This year's goals are ~
- Simplify my life!!!
- Learn to speak French.
- To sketch every evening.
- Do/learning resin castings.
- Take lots of pictures.
- Complete at least 3 sketches for sketchfest
- Focus on the areas of art I want to do, instead of doing a little of everything.
- Read lots of books.
- Make videos for youtube
- Do at least 2 creations a month and post
- Keep up with my blog
- Keep up with my health
Think that should be good starters. Can always add more as I keep to my goals.

So what are you looking forward or are trying to do in 2015?

Merry Christmas 2014

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!
Hope you all are enjoying your holiday and the time with your family.
I love this time of year, being with my kids, who are getting older, and may not be around for all holidays anymore. So we have been making the most of them.

We had a small, but great Christmas. It was just the 5 of us, watching movies and playing games.
This was one of my favorite gifts.
It's a watercolor book, by Sara Burrier.
I have to say, it is one of the best books that I have read in that field in a long time. She goes into some much detail, from drawing and sketching to lighting and coloring and everything in between. I do recommend if your looking for a book like this, it is well worth the read.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays -

Ipsy December Glam Bag

Hey All!!! Yes, it's that time of month again, the Ipsy December Glam Bag is here. It's been here for a week or two, but I was missing an item and wanted to wait to post till it came in.
With that said, let me tell you that Ipsy's customer service rocks!!! I messaged them on a Saturday afternoon, when my bag came in, and heard back from someone within a few hours saying that as soon as they can they will have it out in the mail. They did too!!! That Monday, I had gotten an email with a tracking code for the missing item.
