Art Trade

Time to make my trades, art trades that is. I immediately went to Julie's blog because I knew I would instantly be inspired. Her book Pretty Little Felts is absolutely adorable.

Everything sweet and tiny and happy.

Check out her blog for the "how to"

once you make one, you wont want to stop;)

Make a wish on a starfish

Treat yourself and go to the beach, it's almost surreal how it changes your perspective

I am so loving preparing for our up coming retreat in Coronado- just the idea of us girls playing in the sand, releasing parts of us held captive and giving ourselves permission to

play

G is for Go:::::

This is exactly How I have been feeling- get ready get set go:::::

Lot's of fun things to do, not even enough time in the day. My grandson Gavin is now mobile and in constant motion until he collapses- hmmmmm must run in the family;)

Sandcastle Sirens

Together ,myself along with some really great ladies are hosting Sand Castle Sirens -an artists retreat

We have two amazing classes being taught by Julie Haymaker Thompson

along with a bohemian bonfire and vintage vendor sale(marché dans le jardin)

and as if that's not enough :: all of this will be happening seaside at our beautiful Coronado beach house location.

30% of the sales made at the vintage vendor sale goes directly into our art therapy program- what a blessing to be in the middle of such a giving group of talented, fun, beautiful women.

we have just a few spots open to attend the class, but you better hurry;)

risk love

So my really wise and very fun friend Jackie brought to my attention that I have won the flakiest blogger award and yes I am wearing the crown every day until I get myself back into more consistant blogging;)

Aren't friends great, they give you that nudge, laugh with you , and are always there if you need a hand, I am so very blessed to have so many great women in my life.

We spent a few hours yesterday drawing and painting, I made this very french looking lady, she I might put some word boxes that remind me to "risk love"
