I can't believe it, I've received another award!! Sherry is such a sweetheart and hers and Ron's artwork is amazing!!! You won't want to miss a thing. http://www.byrumart.blogspot.com/

Thank you SO much Sherry for thinking of me....I am honored...

So the rules of this one are to tell you seven things about myself you may not know.



Geeee whizzzzzz this is hard...Well....

1. I love thunderstorms!!
2. I could sit in a park for hours and just enjoy Mother Nature.
3. I am the oldest child in my family, yep my parents practiced their parenting techniques on me. Eight years later when my sister arrived they were to tired to be tough on her, lol.
4. I wear my emotions on my shirt sleeve for the whole world to see.
5. I'm not a big fan of sweets including chocolate, but don't you dare touch my Hershey's Syrup for my chocolate milk.
6. I love ghost movies, such as The Others, Thirteen Ghosts (although this one was gorey for me I do love the story.
7. I hate the cold weather of winter but I love to look outside at a fresh fallen snow and no I don't want to build a snowman, its to cold out there, hehehehehehe

Okay, now that I bored you to death, lol. I would like to pass this on to Dede again,

Dede, she is such a sweetie be sure to stop by her blog and say hello... http://www.brightestblessingswiccans.blogspot.com/ I love her blog, she's a real inspiration. Thanks Dede!!!

A Change Of Scenery / A Change Of Creativity

WIP / LOL

I'm really hoping that the change of scenery and a little mood music here will put my mind on track to Christmas / Yule Creating, sure hope it works and this is why....

Recently I took an online sculpting course with Pattee of Odd Dolls
www.odd-dolls.blogspot.com and I must say she is such a sweet person. I have completed the first class and well yay, I've already signed up for her second class. I think I've found a new passion, hummmmm not quite sure yet but it might just be better than yarn, hehehehehe. Well I'm certainly no master sculptor, but with a little practice ummmm you never know, right.....

Well here is a picture of my first piece she isn't finished yet maybe after Christmas.



Last night I sat down determined to sculpt my second piece and my first Christmas / Yule Ornament but again the brain appears to be still in Halloween mode because it became this...Looks a bit more like a Disney's Haunted Mansion Ghost Face to me, sigh.






So as you can see I really need to convince my brain that its time to create for the Christmas / Yule Season before it is over, I sure hope this works, hehehehehehehe.

How about you??????

Have You Heard!!!!

WHOOOO HOOOOO, I WON THE FIRST PLACE PRIZE on Byrum's Art Blog!!!! I am still stunned, what a wonderful week I have had...I won the most amazing Halloween Painting. If you haven't seen their blog you must!! Ron and Sherry create beautiful one of a kind paintings, necklaces, signs, pillows, candles, and the list goes on and on, such talent and creativity. I am beyond excitement when I say that I am thrilled to add another piece of their amazing art to my collection. I currently own three of their prints and recently I actually won one of their fab paintings to my total amazement as I didn't think I would ever own one and to say that I actually now having bragging rights to two of their paintings, well all I can say is WOW. Each piece of art that an artist creates leaves their home and arrives to yours with a piece of them included. I truly believe there is an attachment between the Artist, Artwork and their Love of Life. Thank you SO much Sherry and Ron I will truly treasure my wonderful prize.

Thank you Dede and Cat for the congrats!!!
