Back in the Art Studio!

Back in the Art Studio!

Good evening! I have been busily and happily arting away in my little art studio, and am very happy to finally be able to share something that I have finished with you! πŸ˜‰ This piece is made on a square of plywood, my sweetie cut

Tag, I’m It!

Good evening! Yes, you have heard correctly, I have been tagged, and by my lovely friend, and fellow up-and-coming artist, Janet Forrest from Tattered’nWorn – Thank you so very much, Janet!!! I am just tickled pink!! πŸ˜‰ In turn, I am going to “tag” some

Good Evening!

Queen Christina here! Yes, proudly wearing my royal crown this evening!! Having a great evening, finally getting my peppy-self back to living again!!!! I wanted to make sure to check in this evening! After being down sick for the past two weeks, I am still not 100%, but I am back up and running! and REALLY READY to get back to BLISS!! πŸ˜‰

As many of you may know, I love sharing everything that is going on in my world, which I realize might seem contradictory since I have been posting very sporadically lately, but I do have a reason! You see, besides being sick for the past 2 weeks, I have been doing something REALLY EXCITING!!! For the past 5 weeks I have been taking the Brave Girls’ Club Soul Restoration class online. This amazing class has forced me to delve into the inner workings of my soul and, through arting, discover more about myself Β than I ever thought possible. Truly!

If you have never hear of the Brave Girls Club, or the Soul Restoration I Class, I highly recommend popping over to the Brave Girls’ site and checking them out!!! Better yet, pinch your pennies together and sign up for their next available class ASAP!!! I have been ah-ha-ing every step of the way, through every tutorial, every lesson, every homework assignment. I honestly feel AMAZINGLY BLESSED to have found this class when I did! I am so enamored with the whole process, Melody Ross (our lovely and fearless leader), and the entire Brave Girls Club team, that I have already signed up for part two of the class, which starts in April!! YEAH BRAVE GIRLS!!! πŸ˜‰

The art I have been busily creating for the past few weeks, unfortunately, is not shareable! Because these pieces are so powerful, and yet so personal, I had made the decision that these pieces would be just for my eye eyes only. That way, I can completely take the fear factor out of arting, and just create what is truly going on inside of my soul. The good news, however, is that in the simple act of just creating without fear of judgement, I find that I am growing braver, and am inspired to start arting again to share with the blogging world.

In all of this, I am not sure where I am going to end up, but right now, I just want to be happy, and free, and arting has really opened that door for me, which I am soooo thankful for!! So, although I have nothing I can share this evening, I am happily, and busily spending time watching tutorials, trying new things, and hopefully within the next couple of days, I will have some new to share with you!! πŸ˜‰

I truly can’t wait!! πŸ˜‰

So, without further ado, I am going to get back into my art studio, and get to creating!! I can’t wait to talk to you again soon!!

Here is to a FABULOUS evening! πŸ˜‰

Good evening! Tonight I am posting from my very new gadget – my new iPad!!!! Whoo! Hoo!! Ok, so I realize that this officially confirms that I am a total techie geek, but now that I have said it out loud, is that really so

Good evening! I don’t know if you know this about me, but I very rarely watch live tv, but my girlfriends have been ranting and raving about this television show called The Voice. I happened to stumble upon it this evening, and mamma, I am 

Random Monday!

Good evening!

It is so good to be back online again! I have spent the last 5 plus days being sick! Chest cold, hacking, wheezing through all sorts of yuckiness, sick!! I am still not back to my old peppy self quite yet, so I will making an appointment with my physician, and hopefully back up and running soon!! πŸ˜‰

In the meantime, I wanted to catch up on some much needed chatting with you this evening!Β  I have been anxiously waiting to tell someone about a surprise my sweetie brought home with him, last week as he was returning from a weeklong stay at the coast helping some friends as handyman extraordinaire! While he was on the way home from this trip, he texted me to say that he had a surprise for me that was going to knock my socks off! (That was me paraphrasing, what he actually said wasn’t quite a…hmmm..well, let’s just say eloquent!) Anyway, when he finally got home, I was already so excited to see him, but when I remembered that he had a gift for me, I felt like a little kid running down the stairs on Christmas morning! When he pulled out my surprise, I was SOOOO SHOCKED!!! He bought meΒ  new camera!!

 

Because I have been sick, I haven’t really had a chance to pick it up too much and figure out how all of it’s bells and whistles work, but I am really, REALLY EXCITED to figure it all out!! I will have to warn all of my friends and family – they are going to be my practice subjects for photography practice!!! Look out my lovelies, here I come!!! πŸ˜‰

On a change of subject, this week is going to be a busy one! I literally have a 60 hour work week this week, so that is going to be interesting! Hopefully our go-live will be quick and trouble free so that we can get back to our normal work week. Plus, I am happily enjoying the Brave Girls’ Soul Restoration I class! I am in week 3 of this empowering class, and really look forward to each new week of lessons, and this week it might be a little tricky to get it all done!!

Not to worry, I will have to get out my old, dusty, and well-used red “S” underoos and make it all work, and then crash by taking a few well-deserved vacation days!!! Aaaaaah!! Sounds perfect already!! πŸ˜‰

Here is to a FABULOUS evening! πŸ˜‰

Here’s to a FABULOUS Friday!! ;-)

Have You Heard It is Friday?

Have You Heard It is Friday?

Good morning! I have been having some car trouble for the past couple of days, and so I am waiting for my sis to come pick me up for work. In the meantime I thought I would take a quick minute to stop by and
