I had so much fun with these colorful urban canvas works. They will hang from a wearhouse ceiling over the event. 26 painted canvases~whewie! It is such a fun feel and really took me to a new place artistically. Love this journey in art, don't you?!

Sending a fun kind of out of the box colorful day to you friends......and Hope and of course Love!! XO

Bunnies Welcome here!

Bunny Lumps as their designer, Charlotte Lyons calls them. These sculpty clay bunnies are our version around here and just keep increasing in number they are so fun to make! (As bunnies do) Too fun! Check out how Charlotte made them at Amy Powers offerings here. So many cute Inspiring goodies in her publications! Also, the vintage chenille was from Jennifer Murphy who is loads of fun as well. Wishing you all a Happy Easter full of sweet family and celebrating the never ending Love of the one who made us..........I have to say it.....People Lumps! XOXO

Birthday week

Thought it would be fun to show you my birthday bash at my Katie and Danny's house this past Saturday. My Girls blessed me with an immense spread of food. Homemade fresh from the Farmer's market kind of stuff. They are so good. I am so proud. And my man Mike, he's good too! Haven't gotten to vist you all much in blogland this past week...........Hope to catch up soon on your doings, and give you a peek at some urban art I am doing for an upcoming event. Fun!

Sending you a warm hug today..........mmmm and some of that basil pesto I am still craving from Saturday. XOXOX!

Dolphin Life!

Just thought I would share an image of a family of 4 dolphins that followed our friends boat on Monday. Glad we were in it!! Spent 4 sunny bright days in Florida with another couple this past weekend . I just had to clap and clap............think our friends and hubby thought I was a little silly......but it was way too cool not to ask for an encore!

Oh, and back to my birthday today.......good to be home.....think I will ask for an encore for my birthday too. Another year of God's goodness?! Yes, I think so! Good friends for lunch, a little art time, and steak on the grill maybe too. Happy Day to you as well ....sending Lovely LIFE!

New life

Still with that "hearts desires" from the last two postings.............. isn't this beautiful? It's my own little new life! Been seeing with my eyes this week....maybe listening a little better too. I saw a friend bring a new grandbaby home. I saw a friend come outside to find new life in her barn.............a new baby horse she didn't even know was on His way?! Named him Butler! A new building for Church too.............perhaps that's the prayer? For new lives!? It made me remember we thought about a 2nd doggie not long ago, but didn't . But we thought about it.

Seeking New Life!

I spoke it out loud.........I think new life is so good for a home and a heart.............

A few hours later ~ this absoulutely enchanting plant from my sweet daughter Cassie...who didn't even know my words or wish............ but her own eyes saw this and thought of me! New Life. Guess what I am sending your way? Yep, New life!! And a fabulous weekend, my friends!! XOXO

Feeling the need?

Likewise stitched circles on the left page with bits of truth and wisdom my heart needs to hear. If you have ever needed a safe place to work it out, I hope you will try ARt journaling. It is my heart"s desire! How about YOU?? What is your heart's desire??

The Desires of your heart

Do you know that those longings and desires of your heart were placed there by a loving all knowing God? He knows them! Let's remember to talk to him about them...and seek out how they fit into the scheme of bigger things in our lives. They truely bring us Joy. Deep Joy when we acknowledge them and use these delights,.......all for His glory. Sending Joy this day! XO

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Psalm 37:4
