My Ideal Scene...

I am reading The Millionaire Course, "A Visionary Plan for Creating the Life of Your Dreams" and Marc Allen says you should write a one page description of your "Ideal Scene" (imagine your life at it's best!).   This picture is a reminder to me...

My Ideal Scene:  I live on a small working farm "sanctuary" where animals are not killed (not sure what will be farmed yet; pumpkins, christmas trees, maple syrup, goat cheese, wool, lavender, herbs or local produce?).  Our farm life will be very self-sustaining and we will make our living by farming, blogging, offering classes (art retreats, cooking, re-purposing, etc.).  Our life is our work...we promote green living, family life and a reverence for all life.  We have an onsite store (the RE-Store) that houses our wares and latest up-cycled creations.

See my additional pages if you are interested in my specific goals and how I plan to attain them.  I will also be posting regularly on the successes and any set backs we may incur.

Join me on the Journey!.....

Artist's Date: "Drink and Dabble"

Created this Valentine art at a "Drink and Dabble" with my sister.  It was great to take a few hours and actually focus on my art and complete a project.  Although I am already revising it.  

Stay Tuned....

Here is a link to Health and Harmony http://www.harmonyinhealthltd.com/.  Take a look at the upcoming projects.  It is a lot of fun!

BINGO! 2012 - My Best Year Ever!

Only 5 Goals? Hardly -- just trying to focus :-)

Quote that I love from a recent issue of "Artful Blogging"

I'm imagining a GREAT year!  This little altered bingo card book was created to help me FOCUS on my goals for this year.  It has a lot of hidden meanings which are personal to me.  One being, my late "2nd Mom" loved to play bingo.  Also, I'm feeling lucky this year :-)  Stay Tuned!

Glitter, Foil & Paper Lace - Oh My!

Did you get a chance to make some good old-fashioned Valentine cards this year? My daughter Savannah brought home some adorable ones. They brought back good memories of when I was a little girl. The tin foil and glitter box made we want to make my own! I guess it's time to pull out the glitter....

I am entering the latest Style.Play.Work.Shop Contest:

If I win, I get a subscription to the new Anthology magazine. It looks awesome!

Meet the Vamplets....

My daughter, Savannah, has been anxiously awaiting the arrival of her new Vamplets, and when the shipment was delayed because of "adverse weather conditions", I knew I had to step in. So, I decided to make her a necklace. It is made from Shrinky Dinks. I have not played with shrinky dinks for years. I think it turned out pretty cute -- we had fun -- and it bought us another day. (Did I mention I'm buying my daughter baby vampires? This is not how I dreamed things would be....what happened to Drowsy or even Barbie? -- Monster High has taken over!)

The Girls....

The Boys....
