Art Journal Love Day!

I am back...

So soon.  Well that's what you get when you are late (post after post).  I think that you should Blog when you feel like blogging (is that even a word?).  So here I am again.  Sick of me yet?  Yesterdays blog was a little lame and I felt a teenie bit guilty. 


Over at Dirty Footprints Studio Connie is having an "Art Journal LOVE" day.  How exciting is that!!  I love my journal and why not admit it here and now. So here is my post and picture to prove it.

 Yes I know...it's the dreaded poodle again.  She just got her hair buzzed yesterday and she is in a deep depression, curled up in her bed.  Very sad.  She doesn't even want to chase the cat...so she is really down.  This picture reminds me of better days and hopefully she will be back to her own sweet self soon.


 This picture was "created" out of the sheer love of creating and that anyone can do it, you don't need any special talent or training, I call most of my art "doodling" if that is any consolation, then it doesn't have to be a serious thing.  Don't sit there in hopes of creating a work of ART...you will just sit there stumped.  Just play.  Doodle.  Color.  



Thanks Connie for "Art Journal Love Day" and congrats on finding your way and making your dreams come true.

Valentine's Day Love

Hey Folks,

I want to say...Happy Valentine's Day and I hope and pray that you felt the love on this very special day even if it wasn't "external" I hope you connected with yourself "internally".  To Love Yourself is the biggest Love there is.  

A few of movies that I highly recommend for the "lovers or the love-sick" out there.  I cried a small river over these.  
  1. Love and Other Drugs starring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal.  It was very unexpectedly wonderful.  Have kleenex handy. 
  2. It's Kind of a Funny Story starring Emma Roberts (Julia Roberts niece) and Zach Galifianakis.  Teaches us alot about how dramatic and depressed we think we are, there is always someone worse.  Helping those in need, helps ourselves in turn. 
  3. Life As We Know It starring Josh Duhamel and Katherine HeiglIt's a must see.  I don't want to give to much away.  Watch the trailer.  Click on my links :)
 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
