i’ve been busy! i’ve been happily painting away, into the early morning hours, and i’m loving it!
creating new work really makes me happy, and with all the curve balls life has been throwing out lately, painting and drawing are really the only things keeping me sane. when i’m in the zone, everything else disappears and it’s just me and my paintbrushes. and that’s all i need in that moment. ♥
anyway, i just wanted to share a few of the new pieces i’ve added to my Etsy shop. Dia de los Muertos is so close, and i added some one-of-a-kind paper mache skulls that would be great to add to any altar, or would make beautiful gifts for anyone who loves the culture, color, and beauty that is Dia de los Muertos. you’ll also find hand painted wood birds (fun & whimsical!), crosses, and original canvas paintings and mixed media pieces – and much more.
so please – pop over to my Etsy shop now and see if there’s anything you like!

just wanted to pop in and wish you a very merry christmas…
it’s still busy around here: we’ve been busy packing up all our belongings into a storage unit near what will be our new home. it’s been lots of work, but we’re blessed with family and friends who were willing and able to help any way they could. hopefully we’ll start the new year in our new place.
again, merry christmas to all of you. may the new year bring all of us much love, laughter, and exciting new possibilities…

been busy adding items to my Etsy art shop, including sets of my holiday cards, now on SALE! i like my cards simple, as shown by my designs here. one set features a silhouette of a tree, decorated with red round ornaments. the message is clear and simple: “merry christmas”. the other set of cards features a drawing of a dove, carrying a red flower in its beak and wearing a garland around its neck. again, a simple but clear message to share during the holidays: “peace”. cards are black inside so you can include your own personal message.
these cards sell at events for $4.00 each. right now in my Etsy shop i have them in sets of 5 for $10 – that’s only $2 each!
while you’re there, please check out all my other listings – original artwork, stationery items, hand stitched ornaments, hand painted wood and tin items, and much more!

when i started blogging i told myself i’d be good about posting regularly.
hmm…does every 2 weeks (or so) count?
anyway, it’s been really busy around here, in my personal life. i posted early on that my husband and i were hoping to buy our first house. well, it looks like we’re well on our way! if all goes smoothly, we should be in our new – own! – house by the time the new year starts. (can’t believe there’s a new year around the corner!) i don’t want to jinx it by sharing too much, but it’s very exciting – please send positive vibes & prayers our way!
i’m having a great time tormenting the husband about what i’ll be able to do when we move into our own home. i’m pretty sure the scariest thing (for him) is that i want to draw a huge wall mural with my beloved black Sharpies. i CAN’T WAIT. seriously. i can’t wait to have our own home where we can the rooms any color we want, create a garden however we want, and answer to no one but ourselves. yay!
i have been trying to stock more items to the Etsy shops – both the art shop and the supply shop. i hope you’ll check them both out and consider doing some holiday shopping with me! you’ll be getting 100% handmade and unique work.
