Wow! Been busy with family responsibilities, working on Larry’s childhood home, STILL trying to move all our belongings in and unpacking boxes… then I realize it’s been over TWO months since I’ve blogged. Bad Susie. I’m still around. Just preoccupied. … Continue reading
Just wanted to share today’s sketchbook journal page. This started with some late night scribbling and doodles last night, and I finished it today while listening to the pouring rain. (LOVE the sound of rain!)
———-
I’ve added a couple new items to my Etsy shop!
I LOVE painting these beautiful tin nichos from Mexico. I painted this chapel nicho in bright colors – red, turquoise, green, and more – and on the inside I used the “El Corazon” card from a Loteria game (like Mexican bingo) on a bed of gold glitter (also from Mexico). To see more photos go to my Etsy shop (link above)!

This small wood angel ornament measures just under four inches tall and comes ready to hang with a twine loop. I drew bold whimsical flowers on a white background, making them pop by using purple, turquoise, orange, yellow, and green.

I have lots more projects in progress – I’ll be sharing soon!
‘Til next time…
Last week I shared the beginning of my newest art journal pages. Thought you might like to see the finished pages… ’til next time…
Life is extra busy now, lots of new challenges and changes happening, but I’m really really trying to work in my sketchbook more often… ’til next time…
Life has thrown us another curve, and I’ve had to put my Etsy shops in vacation mode for a while. My 85 year old mother-in-law fell last Friday (January 23) and she broke her hip. She had surgery on Sunday and, unfortunately, it led to several complications to her already bad health. I’m spending my days with my husband Lawrence at the hospital.
Any positive vibes you can send would be greatly appreciated.
‘Til next time…

Lawrence and I stumbled upon a beautiful little serenity/meditation room on the ICU floor…
Yesterday I placed both my Etsy shops on ‘vacation mode’…
Today: new room = new view…
