Full "cold" moon Dreamboard!

Full "cold" moon
Dreamboard


The Full Cold Moon asks:

 “What comforts do you dream of?”



It has been sometime since I have been able to devote as much time as i would like to myself. 2013 is going to be a great year full of comforts such as time with family and friends. But also prosperity and success. I want to finish out 2012 with a bang and move into a new phase and a new year with vigor and excitement. 
I dream big for 2013, I will be successful in everything I set out to accomplish and I will accomplish great things!

Being a mermaid it only seemed fitting that I set my last dreamboard for 2012 that will carry me into the new year underwater and above.

I dream of traveling with my husband, who works at sea, while he is home. I will make my art and jewelry creativly successful and utilize our travels to maximize the potential for art shows and craft festivals. 

I will continue to connect with customers, and clients and friends through social media to continue to grow my creativity. 

Hard work and determination ALWAYS payoff and I WILL work harder than I ever have to continue to be honest, caring, loving and creative. 

Thank you EVERYONE for a Fantastic 2012.

Welcome 2013 Our BEST year yet!

Thank you all,

Nothing to it but to do it!

It has been a long time since I have posted in my blog. I have been busy throughout the past year with surgery and health issues, moving and getting the new studio set up. But we are here in the new location on Oak Island NC. Last night we had our first kids art class and Summer was amazing. She is so full of energy and by the end of class she was ready to paint the entire house. It brings me so much joy to share the gift of creative freedom with a child and watch them come alive. 


8 year old Summer enjoying her first are class!
Saturday morning in Carolina Beach NC several local artists will be getting together for our first Tree house Yart sale. Very similar to an yard sale but with arts and crafts. I am really looking forward to getting back into the art scene and being more involved in the local community. Summer (my little artist) has painted a dolphin that will be for sale (her request) So come by and meet some great local artists.
