Did you know that this is my 10th year of blogging. I cant belive it either. For a girl who really has nothing to say, I managed to say quite a bit in 10 years. The focus of my blog is suppose to be art and me. I think I have kept pretty true to my first ideas of what I was going to say . And I have managed to improve my art over these last 10 years as well. I think that's all due to having a blog, getting involved in exchanges, challenges and thinking I must show you art everytime I blog. <br />
<br />
Lately I have been reading up on how to improve my blog and bring more traffic in. I don't do any of things that I should do, to bring in the traffic. The one thing I did do is<br />
change my blog header, but I still kept my original name of the blog in it. Other than that they say all your pictures should be the same size, and I am still trying to figure out how to do that. They say that it should not be cluttered and easy to read. I am thinking mine is pretty simple to read, might not be to eye catching and colorful but good enough. The only place I might be lacking is content, unfortunately not much<br />
happens in my life. I could start telling you about my processes, how they work or don't work, or my search to get my art noticed (on going). That might be an idea. What do you want to see more of in this blog, if you read this blog, you come here for a reason, right, I go to blogs, because I love there art, I love there spin on things, or they have something that I want to learn how to do.<br />
<br />
What do you think?<br />

<div align="center">
sometimes life is a balancing act</div>
<div align="center">
at least it is with me</div>
<div align="center">
I am in a creative slump hence all the old art on my blog</div>
<div align="center">
when I am not happy with me, I am not creative</div>
<div align="center">
does that happen with you?</div>
<div align="center">
all my eggs are not all in one basket</div>
<div align="center">
they are spread out all over</div>
<div align="center">
and I am in conflict mode</div>
<div align="center">
but I am not giving up on me, my art, or the blog</div>
<div align="center">
stay tuned some new art maybe soon</div>

<div align="center">

<div align="center">
This is one of my index card challenges, card I did I think last year.</div>
<div align="center">
I like the pony's and I love to go to the races and bet I have a</div>
<div align="center">
bit of gambling fever running through my blood I don't go to often (lol)</div>
<div align="center">
well today started out bad, first I was at my daughters checking the</div>
<div align="center">
house and I let devil dog out in the yard and I went out</div>
<div align="center">
with her, closed the door, and guess what its locked.</div>
<div align="center">
So there we are , first out in a raging snow storm, </div>
<div align="center">
locked out, no phone, no purse, no keys, no leash,</div>
<div align="center">
the snow is coming down in buckets, I am in my sandals,</div>
<div align="center">
we go down the ice filled stairs, she lives in a townhouse,</div>
<div align="center">
walk around the complex to the back where the garages</div>
<div align="center">
are attached, lucky they have this thing outside you can</div>
<div align="center">
punch a number in and open the garage, I let devil dog</div>
<div align="center">
in the car, and then wonder what the hell I am going to do.</div>
<div align="center">
She has already informed me there is no key hidden</div>
<div align="center">
anywhere, so be careful with the door. So as luck</div>
<div align="center">
would have it, her neighbour who she does not know</div>
<div align="center">
happens to be going out and I stop her and ask</div>
<div align="center">
if she has a cell phone so I can call my husband,</div>
<div align="center">
and that's what I did, and he came with a key to the house.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
so I guess I learned my lesson, don't go out her door unless you check</div>
<div align="center">
to see the door is not locked.</div>

<div align="center">
I have been going thru some old art that I keep</div>
<div align="center">
on a flash drives. And I thought I should tell</div>
<div align="center">
my readers my process, maybe I am doing something</div>
<div align="center">
that is done an easier way than I am doing it. So here is my process</div>
<div align="center">
because I know you are all dying to know:</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
first I create the art</div>
<div align="center">
I scan all my artwork</div>
<div align="center">
then on Photoshop elements, I brighten things up </div>
<div align="center">
and then save it up on my hard drive under</div>
<div align="center">
folders I have created, this one was in a</div>
<div align="center">
folder called animals, I have some called birds</div>
<div align="center">
abstract, faces, etc you get the drift. When I have</div>
<div align="center">
to much on my hard drive, I transfer it over</div>
<div align="center">
to my flash drives. I figure if my hard drive ad</div>
<div align="center">
every crashes, and it has, I have not lost anything, its</div>
<div align="center">
all on those flash drives, pictures included. How do</div>
<div align="center">
you back up your work?</div>
<div align="center">

Hey welcome to my blog</div>

I am in a great mood today </div>

So I guess today the diet gets the back bench because</div>
<div align="center">
who can eat Chinese food and stay on a diet</div>
<div align="center">
this little peek of my art is an old one but one of my favourites</div>
<div align="center">
so since I am in charge of me and my blog, you get to see some oldies but goodies</div>
<div align="center">
what are you doing that is fun today, and if your not go out and do something</div>
<div align="center">
fun......</div>

This one is going into illustration Friday its all about Windows there. I love this technique and have made many like this, so I thought I would share. First you get whatever size of substrate you want to create on, this is postcard size. Then what I did</div>
<div align="center">
was draw, and paint, on it, then on top of that I cut out a piece of tracing paper, or some kind of paper you can see thru, my old mind cant think of the name of the paper and put it on top of your design, then </div>
<div align="center">
drew on that and painted, or markers or what ever you want to use, sometimes I</div>
<div align="center">
used my sewing machine around the edges, sometimes tape, whatever you have on hand. I cant remember where I saw this done, or I would credit the person with it.</div>

This is an oldie but goodie but it was one of my first.so I have a soft spot in my heart for it.<br />
When making a collage I do have a hard time. I always think it has to tell some kind of story be cohesive. When you make a collage does anything block your process,enquiring minds want to know<br />

This is #11 in my series. Going slower than expected but at least it's still going. The trouble with me is I can't work on more than two things at one time. I wish I could have 10 things on the go.<br />

<br />
The first one is a canvas done with a different technique I am going to try<br />

I am trying out a new girl. New view, not face on, side view. You have to know how\<br />
to draw every view. Anyone her name is Edith, and is looking for a fellow. That's why she put on her best dress and hat. I hope she finds one, because I am tired of her talking about it.<br />
<br />
Today is the Dentist, I think my crown is falling out, I hope not. Then its off to the<br />
library. Last week Dan sat beside me, and told me his life story. I think he thought<br />
I was his mother. He was not too crazy so I listened politely. My daughter says I<br />
attract talkative people, must be my aura (lol). I know, I read my life and think, god<br />
I need to get a life.<br />
