Floods, Family & Thanksgiving

The November Nor'easter left my daughter and her young family flooded and without a home (for a bit until it is fixed) so they are living with me.  It is quite the close quarters but it is all good.  I am thankful I have a home I cans share and that they are safe.  We had a beautiful Thanksgiving with wonderful food created by my other daughter who is a brilliant cook (um... chef!) at 17.  I am certain as things settle in and we find our groove I will find my focus to create again.  Until then, I would like to say "Thank You!" to all of you beautiful spirits who follow my blog.  I really enjoy and look forward to all of the wonderful comments you leave me and I especially LOVE looking at the creative processes that each of you share on your own blogs!
Hugs to you All!

Baby Monster - So CUTE!

I had to post this adorable baby monster that my sister made for the Monster Mash Swap.  She wasn't able to get her photographed in time but she certainly deserves some face time.  I just had to share her cuteness!
Check out Deanna's other beautiful work her at her blog.

Out of the Closet

My Monster has come out of the closet and had the best time over at Zan's place doing the Monster Mash! I wish I could have been there to see it all. I am certain I would have joined in the fun. :o) Be sure to go and have a look at the other monsters. The talent and creativity of the artists presenting is amazing!

Sneak Peek! (Monster Swap)

Wow - it's been nearly a month since I have blogged!  OUCH!
I wanted to share a sneak peek of my "monster" that I made for Zan's monster swap over at  Wild at Heart Art

He's not really scary. :o)

Rock and Shop Vintage Market

I'm pretty excited.  Next Saturday I am headed to Durham N.C. to participate in the Rock and Shop Vintage market.  This is totally new for me but it seems like it's going to be a really great venue.  They will have a live band(s), a fashion show and about 50 artists participating. If you are in the area come and check it out!

It was a Fun Show

It was a beautiful day for Bark in the Park and I have never seen so many dogs in my life all in one place!  From the teeniest tiny dogs to one's so big they could put a saddle on 'em and ride!  It was fun.  Here is a picture of my table.  I really didn't have much to bring but it was great getting into the groove of doing a show again. Be sure to click on the pictures they look much better when they are bigger. :o)

Bark in the Park Sunday ;o)

If any of you live near me come and out and visit me at Bark in the Park on Sunday!  I'll be selling some of my sculptures and mini paintings.

Chesapeake Park, Chesapeake VA from 1:00 - 5:00.

 It's gonna be fun!

"THE" Question

Where do you get your energy when you are tired from... (fill in the blank) and you know you need to create? (because you said you would do a show - oh no!).

Reality is based on...

Reality is based on perception and perception is based on beliefs.

Reality is what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is what we believe.
What we believe is based upon our perceptions.
What we perceive depends upon what we look for.
What we look for depends upon what we think.
What we think depends upon what we perceive.
What we perceive determines what we believe.
What we believe determines what we take to be true.
What we take to be true is our reality. –Gary Zukav

Here's our affirmation:

This week I will remember that I AM a success. I LOVE Being A Success!

'cause I'm the Tax Man

Good Beatles song IMO. :o)

Seriously though, it's like tax season the sequel.  Ever since they made extensions a ONE time deal and eliminated that August deadline, September and October became just like April.  Sheesh!  Ignorance is why I picked this profession I swear! lol
