The drawing says it all...

I am posting this tonight as I will be busy with the trick or treaters tommorow night. Nobody to give out the candy but me. So I hope I get alot or else I will be forced to eat the chocalate bars. Halloween is not my favourite holiday, I always disliked dressing up when I was younger, not very creative in the costume section, I must have passed that on to my daughter, she has always disliked Halloween as well. Some people go all out, fancy decorations etc, I do that at Christmas now that is my favourite holiday. The weather says its going to be cold out so probably wont get to many. Well it was back to work today, Monday managed to get through it and here I am, that is it for excitement. No more boring talk tonight. Talk to you on Wednesday......

Snow in October not unusual....

Yep this is what it did all weekend, snowed. Now that is not unusual in this part of Canada where I live. But the past few winters have been quite mild, and really not much snow till January, I was hoping that would happen this year. Oh well we might get a warm chinook and it might all go away heres hoping. Well this weekend did not do to much, went to the bake sale and craft sale with my mom, bought some nice earrings from my friend the designer, had the two grandmas and the daughters boyfriend over for dinner and that is all. Next weekend we are having a big birthday (18 my daughter/Retirement part (for hubby) am looking forward to that, so this week gotta to get busy with the invites and plan the food. My hubby is retiring and has got another job. He just could not retire and not work he has to be busy, and I agree with him, or there would be a divorce in this family. Well I should go, gotta to get ready for that ride to work in the morning. The first morning of work after a snow is a nightmare, I quess people forget that we get snow every year....Talk to you tomorrow.

Studio Friday Challenge: Collections

I like tea, so teacups go hand and hand. My mother has given me most of my collection (not all seen here) some from her mother so they mean alot to me.
Thanks for looking.

aezine challenge: I create....

I create art for me, because I love the creative flow. My art not everybody will like, but it's out there for critisism.

Who makes the fashion rules....

Why did i create this art....the other day my daughter came upstairs in a beautiful white hoodie, and the hubby says to her dont you know your not suppose to wear white after labour day, to which she replied who made that rule. Who does make these rules, whats wrong with wearing white after labour day (and not just winter white) I say lets all rebel and just wear white. I made the rule if your butt is bigger than a quater please do not wear a thong on the beach. Well today I got my caps on my front two teeth, I feel like a movie star don't they have all their teeth capped. I went arount all day just smiling and nobody noticed of course my mouth was still frozen and I looked like a dumb ass. Well hubby went to the hockey game with his new employer tonight just a little get to know you. So am expecting him home anytime. Well I am going to be healthy tommorow so I am going to make my lunch. Talk to you tommorow...

do not adjust your monitors-I repeat I am not pregnant

Yes that right I am well past the child bearing age, but today I was looking through some old photos of me and friends pregnant and decided to make some art about it. Well today was a beautiful day out, we had the boyfriend over for dinner, watched the ball game and here I am. Missed my show Brothers and Sisters but thats ok, I think I can catch it on another day. I have been getting some pretty nice comments on my site and I want to thank you all for them. Well its another work day tommorow and I should be getting going to get things organized for tommorow. so talk to you tommorow.

Believe in you......

Today's post and art is all about believing in yourself and your talent. No I don't always believe what I preach. I am the worst offender, I never made art for years because of two things, one I am a perfectionist and when I looked at my art I compared it to others and got discouraged and quit and I always worried about other people opinions of what I do. Now that I am older and supposedly wiser,I make art for ME, I don't care what others think about what I do because I make it for me, and sure its not a Picasso but I don't care. Now my friend the jewellery designer has been doubting herself lately and it surprised me, because of her amazing talent and I thought I guess I am not the only one out there that does that.
Well enough from Dr. Phil tonight, had a great day bought some art supplies (that always makes me happy) had both mothers for dinner. Watched a totaly bad movie in my opinion The Parire Home Companion, picked up the daughter from work and now blogging. Gonna have a sleep in and do some creating in the studio on Sunday. So I think i blog off and talk to you all tommorow.

The Weight of the world....

Well today I went down to the studio to work on my Inspiration album, but ended up making this peice of art, it turned out ok i think. Today I felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders, sometime work just does that, and on top of that your life gets in the way. But now I feel much better. I am in the process of trying to figure out Photoshop I have taken a course at university a few years ago, but did not play with it since then. I am trying to photo montage as a little excerise, its turning out not so great quess I better read the book again. Well tommorow I have to go to take a training course for the whole day (safety) so no work, I dont know whats better no work or the course. Well talk to you tommorw.

What can you get for a buck nowadays....

Alot if you shop at the dollar store. I got this board board here because I am making a project.Step 1 Get the book from the dollar store: Take all the shiny paper off, it tears off quite easyStep 3: Paint it with Gesso, if no Gesso just sand it fineSept 4: You can do anything you can put on pictures, art, a journal.What am I going to do, I have not decided yet, but will keep you informed. Today was a perfect fall day, cool, windy but nice. I did a totally dumb thing today, I went to the Doctor on the wrong day, I am suppose to go tommorw, did I feel like a goof ball yes, they could not take me anyway, so back I go on the right day. To make it worse I had my mother booked for the appointment after me, she met me there, oh well we both had a good laugh. Well not to much going on around here, I had a very busy day at work so i am going to log off now and talk to you tommorow...

Blogging twice in a night .must be the water....

Feeling much better now, went down to the studio and crated this little peice of art (not my best did it fast and furious but got it all out) cleaned up the studio and thought I would blog again before I go to bed. Well today beside the accident my hubby cleaned all the carpets in the house, they look mighty fine, so that one good job done before winter sets in. Well just wasnted to share my art so talk to you tommorow one more time....

Just call me CRASH...

Yep thats right I hit a pole, or backed up and hit a pole, dont ask me how I did it, befause I know that pole is there, everyday I pull out of my mothers back parking lot I think about that pole, but today I hit it. As you know I just got my car fixed in the summer from someone bashing into me in underground parking and driving away it was the truck now this is the bumper and the light, looks like 3000 dollars worth of damage. Am I upset yes, because its my fault but onwards I always say, (thats not exactly what my husband said I cant really print those words). But were over it , it was an accident. Well no art this weekend, maybe tonight, I was helping my daughter clean her closet a massive job but its done, lots for the goodwill, and let me tell you they will be dressing in style for awhile. Its sunday and really not much has happened that made me to happy today so I am going to blog off and try to get into my happy place (the studio) talk to you tommorow I am going to get an estimate so I will let you know the price ........

Other than that I am leading a fairly boring life at the moment so i will sign off for now....

Well today is the last day of the holiday today I cooked a turkey and it was delicious so now we should have left over for say two weeks (dont you just hate that about turkey he seems never ending. Well other than cooking all day and eating it in five minutes I did not do to much.
