Designing my BLISS

Ya do what ya do, for whatever reason, when you do it! 

So in an effort to design MY BLISS and the BLISS of my folks and pups (for a complete list of folks and pups please leave a comment to this post) , I start a new schedule for April today.  Working at my 'pays the bills job' from 3:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m.   Got so much done already today ...

 Morning sun cascading through the new fence highlighting my 'Good Karma' Celtic garden prayer flags that I acquired years ago and dug out of storage.

The girls enjoying the new fence daddy bought them while mom cleans out the rock gardens with all the leaves and pine needles that she couldn't pick up in the fall.

I've got it all now  ...
even the picket fence and the garden gate!
Very blessed and grateful!

have a magical week!

Without change ...

Found this picture dated 09.09.98 ... what's with the attitude face?  Gotta definitely lose that in 2012.  Painting Santa 14 years ago ... somethings never change!  But some things must!  Just sent a memo to my work peeps this past week that started with this quote ...

Without change, there would be no butterflies.

There needs to be some changing going on in 2012!

There needs to be more butterflies!

Wishing you all a happy,
healthy and creative 2012!
and thank YOU much for your support and inspiration!

confessions of an art supply addict ...

... well not really ... but it sort of felt like it this week ... everything sort of showed up at once. i shopped at Scarlet Lime
and Beads Gone Wild

and took my 40% off coupon to my local Blick Art Materials store and i am a repeat shopper at ARTchix Studio too!

I can see all these incredible projects and pieces just coming together as I add each object to my shopping cart. I have plans for all these things and know exactly how they will work together, and then a day goes by and a week and a month and then I wonder ... what was I going to do with that? NOT THIS TIME ... I PROMISE.

Great products and customer service at all these locations,

check them out!

Thank YOU Helga!
