First of the rantings.....

Rantings of a crazy, single girl....   #1  dated November 27, 2012

Some random facts....
Avril Lavigne is one of the worst songwriters ever...I love her voice and music, but every song only contains one to two syllable words...yikes
I love champagne with a little bit of Chambord...yum!
The sun is a powerful thing!
Little kids rule!
Nobody is picture perfect...nobody
Most politicians are pretty ugly...why is that?
I dont want to get old...do you?
Blessings are always hidden in the most difficult moments...
The circle of life is so hard to grasp...yes we get it...but we never really treat it like its a "normal thing"
Its okay to tell people you love them...no matter what their role in your life is.....even if they dont "get it"...say it anyway
There is ONLY NOW....
We are all scared sometimes

Sometimes a good cry fixes everything :)

Moments like these are so rewarding...Life is good....

Hi Kelly,
I am wondering if by chance you would be selling any more
 prints of your painting "Here Was Her Refuge--
Here Was Her Sanctuary." Do you remember
 that one? I have been eyeing it forever, and
 should have bought it ages ago. :(
 I loved it, and still do, and this year,
 my "one word" theme (instead of resolutions)
 is going to be "sanctuary." I'd love to have a
copy of that print to start out my year, but I
 think I may be too late...but wanted to check
just in case.
Thanks so much!
J

Oh J...
If you will just message me your address...I would so
 love to just send you that print for free...I would love
 that you would have it with that as your word and it
 would feel really good to just send it out to you without
 all this etsy money stuff...please let me....and thanks for
reminding me...I need to think of what my word is going
 to be for 2013!!!...
Love
Kelly

Oh J, and you just made mine too...that is what life
is about...these good moments we can share together.
 I will send it out tomorrow sweet girl! I hope your
 sad tears will dry up soon...I know life is very hard
sometimes...but we are strong...and if we have each
other, we can make it through anything, and come out
even stronger. Love to you J and I wish you all the
 happiness in the world.
Love,
Kelly

Almost ready....

I've been getting some prints ready, to deliver to THE MINDFUL NEST....A very cool artisan gift store in Burbank, CA.   I'll be so proud to have my work for sale here!

Even in silence

My friends and their love just fill me to the brim....I am very blessed.  Even in silence I can feel it 

Good things.....

Good things are in the air......I CAN FEEL IT!!!!

We are blessed....

Yesterday my daughter had this tattoo put on her arm...it is the date of my brain surgery.  She was a freshman at the time, just starting those tough years of High School.  It was a scary time, and I know deep inside she was afraid she might lose her mother...I hate that she had to go through even a minute of that fear.
So many blessings can be hidden inside of the difficult times....we are blessed

Art for Hurricane Sandy

I'm so proud to be a part of this wonderful, traveling piece of artwork...Elena at Charity Wings came up with this idea to raise money for victims of Hurrican Sandy.  I received the canvas today and just finished adding my part...tomorrow I will send on to the next artist.  You can read all about it here CHARITY WINGS and follow its progress on facebook!  Hope you all will buy a finished print and I hope it will raise lots of money for such a good cause....

Pretty pinks.....

This one is for sure a statement piece....I had fun making it...all the pretty pinks

A piece for Fall

Yummy little treasures, made by me :)

I'm going to start posting pics of some of my jewelry creations....some of these I did a couple of years ago, and have just pulled them out of their tissue paper and boxes, dusted them off, and decided to give them some life again....Perhaps I will try to find a local boutique to sell them at.....

UGH!
