I have been bleary eyed every day for almost two weeks now, setting up my new venture.. I am almost there.. I am so excited and can't wait to unveil my new "business"! 

Stay with me... I promise its worth the wait.. no classes in January, but next week will be the debut of two new kits and so much more... Its been a dream of mine for a long time and I can't believe I am finally almost there..

I am also heading to CHA to do some shopping, and more importantly have fun with my friends..

Merry Christmas and Almost Happy New Year!

I hope you all enjoyed this wonderful time with your family, I sure did!  Lots of presents, hot cocoa, flying gift wrap and squeals of excitement.

You may have noticed me hanging back a bit on the business side of things, but I am actually working on unveiling a whole new "The Art Life".  So, stay tuned and I hope to have everything ready by the 1st!  2010, will be full of new exciting classes, workshops, kits, products and creativity!  I won't be teaching in January due to this new venture, and going to CHA late January to see all the new cool things being released and purchasing some great things for upcoming classes.  Also, in January I'll be announcing the "New Moon Altered Book Class" which will be a few of them.  First one will be here in my home, and then others at Scrapbook Territory!  I am so many ideas for this fantastic book, we are going to have so much fun!  The classes will be held in February! 

For now, enjoy time with friends and family and know how much your blessed with them and how much I appreciate all of you coming along this creative journey with me!

I Got IT!

The crafting bug big time!  I received the beautiful new 7Gyspies White Artist Trays in both the regular size and the new size which holds 4x6 photos!  I am already working on the classes for these which will be held on Sunday December 19th.  Save the date and join me in making both these wonderful trays.  The regular size will be Christmas Themed with all kinds of Art Life goodies!  If you loved the Halloween one, your going to love the Christmas one as well!  The second, that holds 4x6 photos will be Family oriented and can be given as a gift or to decorate your own home. 

I have just put up 4 of my Basic Grey Class Kits on ETSY and you can find them HERE on my home page.  I am also working on lots of other things and am really excited for 2010, I hope you'll stay with me on this wonderful crafting journey!

Life...

Hello friends, I write today happy with life, but I had been "troubled" for a few weeks.  I lost my crafting mojo and was lost.  I was so busy with life that I didn't even think about picking up scissors or making kits.. what was wrong with me?  Absolutely nothing.  I was enjoying time with family, welcoming a new member to my family and just focusing on "refocusing".  I think I overdid it for a few months, with too many classes, booths, events and such.  So, I am going to keep it low key for the rest of the month, but I am working on the launching of my website, this time for sure!  I'll keep everyone updated, and look for new and exciting kits in the new year.  Save your Christmas pics, cause I will have some Christmas themed things, but am not sure about the timing.  We had a bunch of snow on the ground this week too! 

Here is..........

ROXIE!

OMG!  She is ADORABLE!  She is funny, stumbling around and just a little love bug! More later!

Name that Puppy Girl!

This is going to be the new addition to our family on Saturday!  We need to find names for her.  She is a Rott/Lab mix. Of course my first two were "Twilight" and "Bella", but my family says the obsession only goes so far.. bummer.. 

So, please give me names for our little girl!  If we pick your name, I'll send you a "Art Life" Monthly kit!
