Absolutely Necessary for My Survival

I just realized in all my "doings" that I haven't blogged in a while. There is just so much going on that at times I can get overwhelmed with the details of life and miss out on the creative opportunities presented in front of me. I need to blog. I need to create. I need to find vintage photos and old broken jewelry. I need to pull out my sewing machine and home decor fabrics so that I can sew a collage of fabric and photos in harmony with one another. I need to pull out my digital SLR to take photos of my children who are growing daily and without announcement of it happening. I need to create a digital scrapbook page of my kids for my kids, for myself. I need to play with beeswax. When I don't do these things I feel an urging inside me to do something...anything...no not anything...something... something I love..CREATE. I feel a sense of obligation to it but I know that I am pressed for time. I must stop and "breathe." "I must CREATE." I must connect to this inner me. I must find the time. I must. It's like the air I breathe...Absolutely Necessary for My Survival.

MAC Busy

I've been so busy learning this MAC that I have not had an opportunity to Blog. I am taking this time to say whew. I've learned a lot but there's so much more to learn, it's going to take some time. As far as Art goes I have been experimenting with Beeswax and creating beeswax collages using my vintage photos and various scraps of papers/tissue paper. I've gone out to get all the supplies needed to create my collages. I hope to spend time this weekend working with the Beeswax. I am also working on another Photo Transfer on Fabric to use in my fabric collages. There's so much art to create but not enough time to devote to just Art. Full time job, children, husband, dogs (2)...too much to do. Mommy needs a "mommy art break!"

Class is Active and I'm a MAC Now!

Well the Gel Medium class is active and ready for anyone to sign up at any time. We're happy to have you!

I just went out to buy a MAC because my PC crashed in the worst way possible. All files were lost and the system has been corrupted. I will run the Windows 7 update when it becomes available mid October just so that I can still use my PC as a back-up. However, I'm loving this MAC..

I'm now a MAC! And I'm Lovin' It!
