Loving the love!

Hi y'all!

I know, I'm long overdue with a post.  It has been a rough couple of weeks!  The fact is, I've been getting some sales and people showing interest, but it's just not enough right now.  So between trying to find a job, trying to find a new place to live, and just being stressed out with it all I think I've cried more in these past weeks than I have in the last few months.  I've been trying to stay as positive as I can through prayer and keeping busy, and I'm hopeful that things will get better.  If there is anything I've learned in this life it is that your friends and family are important!  And during the tough times is when you find out how true that is.

I know that I am not the only one, times are hard for everyone right now.  Life is funny at times, and can provide you with little bits of inspiration when you need them the most.  If you're feeling lonely, you may receive a call from someone you haven't spoke to in ages.  Having an "ugly" day?  That may be the day that you get an amazing compliment from a stranger about how great you look!  And when you feel completely hopeless, you can get thrown a curve ball that can change your life and make you believe in all the possibilities.  That is one thing I love about life, it may knock you down but it can bring you right back up again.

Even though I've had a writing block, I've still been around stalking reading blogs, and popping in and out on twitter.  I recently joined a couple of groups on Etsy that are all about supporting self taught artists, and it's been sort of a pick me up...daily!  I can wake up and find a new treasury featuring one of my items.  It makes me feel good to know that someone out there liked my item.  So I thought I'd share a few that I've really loved.  I was happy to see my flowers in each treasury, but they also included items from some other amazing artists with beautiful work!








I want to thank my readers for sticking around during my absence, I'm still here!


Until next time...

Hand Painted Chevron Giveaway

Hi all!

Last week I won a giveaway over at Crazy, Random Happenstances.  I was so excited, I rarely win anything!  I've seen giveaways on several blogs that I read, and have been tossing around the idea of holding one of my own.  Well after winning last week, I decided that I wanted someone to feel as great as I did.  So I'm holding my first ever giveaway!

Chevron painting with fabric yo-yo's

This giveaway is not sponsored by anyone other than myself, and is hand painted by me!  It is a chevron pattern acrylic painting in yellow ocher.  It's embellished with satin yo-yo's in black, white, and silver and it's painted on 10" by 10" canvas (worth $45 USD).  It'd be a great little piece to add some pop to any room.  Since it is hand painted there may be slight imperfections, but I can assure you it is painted with lots of love!

So now to the good stuff!  I'm opening this giveaway to everyone in the US and Canada, and there are a few ways to win.
