Guest Slammer, Veronica Jennings **Art Slam**

Posted in Art Slam

I am very happy to have Vee be the Guest Slammer for this Friday’s installment of the Art Slam. Her is what she had to say about her challenge:I love seasons and spring is my favorite season by far. It is like my new year, seriously. I love the feeling of everything in bloom, crisp morning air, and the promises of warmer weather- it is totally like a do-over or start of the year for me. So my challenge this week is to journal about the season that makes you happiest and use at least three mediums to convey your feelings. I used paint {no surprise :) }, fluid chalk and ink.

By Nature, I am a Very Curious Person

Posted in Creative Soul

curious

I am a curious person. I like being in the know. I am usually the person people come to to get in the know. Sometimes, I think I should have been a P.I.

I miss doing my art journals bad. So bad in fact, I am going back to creating art everyday. When I don’t do something artsy, I feel like my skills get a little rusty. The lemonade in that situation is I can learn something new. I’m on the hunt for my newest technique. I think it will have to do with sewing. Sewing and art journals…love that combination!

Do You See What I See?

Posted in Inspired Thoughts

It rained for two days here and I have to admit that kind of weather can be a little depressing. Today, it is sunny and I can see signs of Spring. The hostas in my flowerbed are starting to come up. That along with looking at my son earlier today made me think about all the things I overlook. I look at my kids and wonder when did they get so big. When did that grey hair show up in my curly locks (it is not there now because I yanked it out!)? When did things that were important to me five years ago stop being important? It started with my kids. I look at them and realize just how quickly time passes and how time waits for no one. You either live to the fullest or you get left behind wondering. When I get up each morning, I have the intention of living the day fully. Does not always happen, but my intentions are good. My priorities are becoming clearer and things truly do seem bright. It is amazing what prayer and the power of positive thinking can do for you. If you let it.

Picnik

Posted in Photography

alright
I found this amazing website today. It is called Picnik and it is an online photo editing service that has a lot of the same features as Photoshop. You can import your images from Flickr, MySpace, Photobucket or Facebook (to name a few) and edit them. Seriously, it is worth checking out. Those rounded corners on my portrait I did with Picnik. Took me all of a few seconds to pick the degree of the corners, save it and replace my original file.

I love finding new stuff on the web!
