Pandora has purple hair!!!

Much to my husbands chagrin I did put purple in my hair! He actually said "why cant you just be normal". I'm like ah, yeah dude did you completely forget that you married an artist-ah HELLO!!! And look at my lovely daughter, isn't she a pretty girl all of 16. This weekend I got a video camera so I will learn how to use it this month and post my very first tutorial on YouTube!!! My son to ship out to the Air force in July, I couldn't resist putting his face up here too. He is 20. So here is the biggy-AHHHH . I joined Weight Watchers last week and I am excited but also overwhelmed at this time. I don't know what my target goal is yet but I know I need to get rid of a lot of extra poundage for sure..I am fixin to portion out food for the week here in a jiffy and then make it so that it will be easy to choose what to eat. And I have a goal of exercising twice this week at a minimum. I do work two part time jobs and do the art full time so I need to make it as easy for myself as possible. This is a personal goal for 2009 to be healthy again. I know I am a little tardy on getting started but that's not the point anymore. So I need your support, your prayers your experiences... I will take it all in. The other goal for this week is to get movin on some art. I think I will make some paper dolls out of cereal boxes. Always trying to up cycle. I have been asked to teach some art classes at the local Gallery, so I need to get that organised and worked out. I will post some updates and photo's on that progress as the week goes on. My husband turned me on to this awesome no commercial Internet radio, you can totally customize it to your liking. You gotta check it out. Pandora.com. It is the end of this current giveaway but I will have more and let you all know when I do. I just want to thank all of you lovey's for the follow and all the wonderful comments. Please go visit each other, everyone is so fantastic and talented!!! So the winners of the skullies are: I put the names in a hat and my husband pulled them out. So thanks for everyone taking the time to link my blog and comment on global warming.. I appreciate you.

Happy Mothers day!

I hope all of you enjoyed your Mothers day weekend the way I did.

Friday at work a nice co worker made all of us gals individual candy gifts, that she made by hand with recycled toilet tissue rolls. Each one was decorated with different papers..

Then when I checked my mail after work, a really nice lady I met on Ning, who just so happens to live in my town had graciously had sent me a cool care package with doo dads that I can use in my art. !!!!!!www.clayfactory.net go check out Marie's creations. She is so talented.... You will enjoy it.

Saturday evening I spent Hanging out with a friend I had not seen in over 25 years. The night consisted of going to one of my art shows at www.escondidoarts.org.

Then we made it over to distinctionart.com gallery where I was able to meet and chat with an amazing artist named Camille M. Boggs. She and her husband moved to Alabama after loosing everything to hurricane Katrina. She told me that after that experience is when she came into her own creating these extremely intricate paper cuttings of marionette figures with wings. I tried bringing up her web page but it would not load on my pc, I incourage you to find her on google!!

So after that my old friend and I went down the road a stretch to visit a friends reception at a new gallery I had not yet visited, I must admit I did have alterier motive.. But the walls were filled with Todd's art..http://www.brightcolorsboldlines.com/.

From there the friend and I headed to an eatery and talked for hours...

Sunday was a day of worship followed by a lovely date with my husband, sister and brother in law to a play of Arsenic and old Lace. I am really blessed, I wish you all blessings too!!

Be sure to post a comment and a follow to enter in the giveaway this is the last week. I will give away three pins.. Cheers to all and Creative love...
