the buck starts here...

my good, talented friend Pattie has a new blog called "the buck starts here"..she has been shopping at the dollar store and found some cool items to art up! she made an awesome work of art out of a dollar note book--and challenged her readers to do the same--so here is my dollar notebook--i got mine at michaels-they have a great dollar section too. thanks Pattie-what's next?

a snails pace...

my healing is progressing...but i feel like it is going sooooooooo slow. i got my cute pink cast off and now have a "moonboot" i can take it off to shower-ahhhhhhhh! and to start moving it, but it doesn't move very much -still can't walk on it or drive-but there is light at the end of the tunnel!. i had a very creative day today, and it felt awesome. i am sending in my proposals to teach at an art retreat and needed to make samples and then i tried to write a bio and class descriptions.which did not come as easily as the art! .i called my dear friend goddess diana and she helped get me going in the right direction...thank you friend!

heart journal swap

i signed up to do the heart journal swap with belinda--my page did not turn out at all like i planned --it just kind of took on a life of it's own...........i guess i needed some happy art in my life! and i think i accomplished that- she is sending the pages to cloth, paper, scissors...so we shall see what happens

i'm borrowing this...

my dad has suffered from some heart problems the last few years-last summer when we were visiting him he had open heart surgery...he is doing so much better-although his heart is aching today as his sister-my auntie pat- passed over last night. she was a wonderful, giving, loving, strong woman and she will be very missed by many......

i made this piece "take time to heal" for my dad when he was recovering and now i am going to post it today to remind him, myself and others that we must take time to heal...

love and light...auntie pat--we love you

well, here i am...

well, here i am.....
my first post. i have other blogs but have never added a post.
the first post must be the hardest, right?
so i put on my pretty pink tiara and here i sit- typing away.
amazing what confidence my pretty pink tiara brings to me--

i have so much to say--so much to share-so much to learn....

the first thing i'm gonna share is this lovely pink cast, with my lovely pink, glittery toes. for those of you who don't know, i fell down our stairs on dec.27th....resulting in an ambulance ride and surgery the following day. i broke my ankle in 3 places and am the proud owner of plates, rods, screws and pain. i can't walk or drive for at least 3 more weeks-which has been very difficult for me. i am in a wheelchair and walker...and am learning so much.
ok
this is getting easier!
