A New Beginning





 Back in early March I was in an airplane, flying across the country, looking out over the mountains and the desert, and this thought came into my head...'its about time I start an art blog'. I was Shocked! I'm not sure where that idea popped from since I'm not too great expressing myself in words. But I have tossed around the idea for three months now and here I am. I have so much inside me that wants to get out! Creativity is a daily activity. I have always sketched and drawn and dabbled in all sorts of sewing, quilting, scrapbooking, crafts and folk art. In December 2011 I came across a publication from Cloth Paper Scissors called Pages and I have never looked back. I loved the article by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer on art journaling everyday. Every day is an art day!


I don't know what direction this blog will take me but here I go. I want to share what I am working on, show what inspires me, and just try to express myself. There is just something about creating.. the act of creating... the process in creating... the beauty of the creation...that is so liberating and healing.

Here's to Bravery. {wink, wink}
