Working on my chrsitmas card and it has turned into a book. Its going to be way expensive to copy off because of all the pages and color copying. I don't know why I have to get so elaborate-but it was fun and it meant something. I have been looking for jobs but in vain.....its kind of depressing
a. to be looking
b. to have to be looking
3. to have to give up and face the fact that it is time to do what everyone else has to, instead of making money from what you love to do

I guess that is life!!!

I am trying to just let go and paint and not worry about the outcome-seems when I can get in that zone it all works. Perhaps I should remember that for my life-let go and it will all work out.

Still fooling around with nudes on board. This is a cheap board that I got from Loews. Its challenging because the board soaks up the paint and ruins the brushes, but I love the way it looks. I had coffee with a good friend today who always makes me think and expand. That is the best kind of friend that there is...some who leaves you with more than you came with...

i have been thinking a lot about the limitations we put on ourselves and others. I have been shedding some of them lately. It takes thought and effort and every once in a while it takes a realization that seems so simple and yet took you years to get to. Giving myself permission to really live my life is something I must constantly do. I hear all too many times how god awful it is that it is a Mon-or TGIF, and I think, is that really how we want it-to curse the week and what we have created in it, just to get to the weekend? Is that a sane way to live? Seems to me I have wasted a lot of my time trying to fit into a world I never really wanted to be part of. So now I am going to try and just live in my world and be happy....and Monday is just another chance for great things to create!!!

Nothing makes my camera crazier than trying to photo small items-here are some ornaments I have been making between stringing popcorn, cleaning, finishing a two week intense rehersal and performance schedule and missing more than anything painting......I have decided if there is a heaven it is full of glue and glitter and paint and clay and canvas ..hey-just like my house!!!

My new obsession-making glitter houses. Why oh why can't I just stick to one thing-but these will make great christmas gifts..and I have always loved them...

Someone wanted a painting on old barn shingles-so I did-it was quite fun.
