creativity in a life...this super bowl Sunday!

Yesterday I began an artistic mess in my "Corner Studio", in my Quiet Room. I am working on a mixed media piece about Psalm 23...THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD. Did you know in that scripture it says HE leadeth me beside still waters...sheep will not drink from water that is moving. A shepherd would never lead his sheep to a place that is uncomfortable, or worrisome. GOD will not lead us to those places either...we do that ourselves. Listen, do you hear that still small voice? If not, listen, HE is here!

Creativity in a life...a bird in the corner...

There is a bird in the corner dear Johnny dear Johnny, there is a bird in the corner, dear Johnny, a bird!

No it is not dear sweetie, dear sweetie dear sweetie, no it is not, dear sweetie, it is not a bird...oh really?

Well, yep, that is a little bird hunkered down in the tall corner of our front porch. I am thinking his/her nest must be a bit wet. You see, it has rained here a pretty good bit. When my son saw it he came running in calling his dad and I to come see this weird thing. We said it was a bird, "no, it is a mouse of something!" Well Sackett, can you see it's tail? That is s little bird. It is safe and warm and dry...leave it be!

A day in a life...February 1, 2012...omg! Where has the time flown!

It is February and my snowmen are still in various venues on my tables and in niches. They almost melted this January, as here in Katy the temps hit the mid 70s many days! I thought about the book, The Snowman, and how my students were so sad when the great guy melted. How true. I love cold weather when it is suppose to be cold. 
Then again, I must admit, I do love the flowers and God's greens when it is warm. Right now I have lantana popping up many places near all our woods. I just love it when there is really no sign of any and all of a sudden, there it is! The fern is popping up as well. It is kind of funny, but my summer caladiums started popping up during some of our winter, due to its warmness. Crazy, huh?!

Saturday our sweet Piggers is going to a new home. There is a precious little guy named Dylan that has loved Piggers since the first day he saw him...last April. For his birthday his mom asked him what he wanted...Piggers..."no mom, not another pig, Piggers!". Well, the boys are going to be buds real soon. I will miss Piggers and his fun personality. He loves to be loved on! He loves his tummy scratched. When you start scratching his side, he will flop on his side and want more. He is just the greatest!  


Well, I would love to see you come back sometime. Hope you have a great creative day!

Creativity in a life...Mission Statement and Goals

I believe I have come up with a Mission Statement for my "business". It goes like this... 
(Name of business) will share GOD's Word, my love of color and my desire to design by creating mixed media pieces. 


My goal is to become a full time artist, expressing myself through mixed media, sharing GOD's Word, creating a complete piece each week. 

My mom and dad!

Any ideas for a name???
   Thee and Me
Creativity In A Life
   Paint and Me
  My Day Brings...


Let me know if you can give me ideas!




 It is me...and hopefully at some point my kids and parents, and any other family members that may want to join me. I love teaching, but I so want to spend time with my "lover-ly" mom and dad. Aren't they cute? 


Come see me again!

A day in a life...on January 24th, 2012

A day of fun in my art class...began the day with a visit from Picasso. My second graders are making a portrait Picasso style. You know...one eye looking at you, the other to the side and the nose...well that is a fun look! Kinder is working on snowmen. A bit hard to get those kids excited in Katy, Tx about snowmen...but they loved the book, THE SNOWMAN. Third is working on a Patriotic piece for their program next month. First grade is learning about Wayne Theibaud and creating colorful ice cream cones. Fourth and Fifth are working on pieces learning about Keith Haring. I love teaching art! There is seldom a time that I do not love being in my classroom! Who wouldn't! 

A day in a life...

My man and I in NYC!

I love days...good days, not so good days, even bad ones. Cause if I have a day...then I have had the joy of waking up next to a good man and with two great "adult" kids in our home. What more could a woman ask? 

What about being the daughter of two beautiful, very loved people? And the sister of two of the kindest, accepting, loving sisters. 

That is all...just wanted to say that. 

Sackett and Sage, siblings, my kids!

See you next time!

I have begun to move!

My newest addition to my studio

I have added a new piece to my studio, an antique kitchen cabinet. I am moving part of  my studio to my Quiet Room...a room with three walls of windows looking at our woods and pool. Love the view! So incredibly peaceful. There are various birds and animals that come and visit. A cardinal lets me know when there is no more food, he is very vocal. Cannot wait to show you some of my adventures that will be taking place in this room!
