don't be afraid of color

Christians cannot and must not remain silent any longer!

On behalf of God's family and His Holy Law (The Bible), we are becoming the minority. Why are our rights being ignored? Why is God's law being so misinterpreted to speak only of his love which is expansive but very clear in its message.

God created us each and God does not make mistakes.

Do so few people see that the more accepting we become of certain behaviors the worse our country is becoming? These problems must be dealt with according to God's plan. YES GOD IS LOVE but he also becomes angry when we fail to honor all of his plan, word, and law.

I commend our governor of NC in the fact that he is a strong Christian and we know the strong Christians have always been the martyrs.

I am proud to be a Christian.
I am proud to be American.
I am proud to be from NC.

BUT, I am not proud of what is happening to the world God created.

One last thought, did the founding Fathers not build our country based on God's law? Can we not see as soon as we began taking HIM out of everything the Country and the World began to crumble bit by bit?

I challenge anyone reading this and believing as I do please make your voice heard.

if you are like me...

 

 

you need to clone yourself to get it all done....

Hope your day was as blessed as mine

deadlines and instructions

 

it all makes up life

moms are....

 

mothers are grateful for their children and the opportunity to influence a life

mothers are Be YOU tiful!

the choice is the same for everyone

 

take your chance and live a life you love

choose your own camoflage

 

many times we want to be seen for who we are and what we do but many times it's nice to just fade into the background and run silent, run deep

Find yourself in nature

seems that everyone is always reinventing

themselves, starting over and in need of LIFE 101 just to find balance and realize goals have changed and it's time to move on and continue growing up, maturing and learning what is important....

back to my watercolor roots

women must see forward

blessings come in threes

be the apple of someone's eye today

art journal every day

just paste it down, don't think, don't plan...it's fun and never wrong!

a must for your book shelf

 

 

I fully recommend it to anyone caregiving parents, have done so or will do so eventually. It was floating around the office at GW and Matthew let me borrow it. Written by a daughter mostly in comic book style.

Funny and real and authentic!

of God's gifts

What is your story?

some days you just gotta play

with color, scraps, paint, scissors and glue....

create the message you need today

i am graffiti

what to do with bits and pieces

 

glue them down

weave them

arrange  them

share them

think on them

enjoy them

but don't trash them

every artist has bits and pieces

use them

Resilience takes W O R K

 

Put the work in and get results....overcome, improve, strengthen, flex, grow and create...

reimagine your life anytime you like

twist, turn, be sily

 

take yourself lightly

Hope

 

Remember how short and delicate life is. Look to God. Get closer than ever.

You will make it!

do you even know

There's a quote I love from the movie Charlotte Gray: "Remember who you aren't". So how do we really know who we are, why we are, and who we can be? Are we different people for different situations? I think so. So, ask yourself today ARE YOU REAL?

trapped in her own mind

I constantly battle ups and downs, joys and fears, and faith and doubt. Most of it all come from my own crazy mind of uncertainty. Most days it takes loads of prayer and effort.

Fly lightly.

do what it takes to keep dreams alive

spring is really here when

I see my first butterfly. my azaleas were cover with them and I even found one recently hatched.

the only place you are trapped

 

is in your own mind. You can allow yourself out, an escape, an alternative...

Lenten Lessons

one with the divine when creating

 

I could not do it without HIM!

faith revealed

from joy to tears to joy...

such is LIFE

inspired

Her heart was big enough for all

a lesson in supplies

Why is it when you play at your art table and grab whatever is available you sometimes find a great design you should have used your best on? Best paper, best paint, best brush, and best intention. I've heard the tales of starving artists who paint with anything on anything and those who later became famous and their work was on cardboard. I've tried to save money on my art since I make so little in sales but I do believe it's time to take the advice of an early teacher. Use the best you can afford.
Meanwhile, this piece is on a recycled (used) piece of cheap copy paper. Maybe if I attach it to a better piece of paper?
