Online Class signup now open!

Gosh I've got so much to do this week (this weekend was just a blur with tons to do), but I wanted to pop on and let y'all know that I've now opened sign ups for a new session of my backgrounds and portraits classes. I've had alot of requests for them, so I decided to run them one more time. Go on over to the classes page for details...the backgrounds class starts on August 31 and the portraits class will begin a while after that. They are both wonderful for all skill levels, so don't be afraid to jump on in! Oh and all class materials/videos will be posted the first day of class, so you can download everything and go at your own pace. No more waiting for next week's lesson. ;D

Have a fabulous Monday y'all!! xoxo

Keep up with almost daily updates: friend me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter 

New classes in July...hopefully

i'm getting alot  of questions so i thought i'd do a quick post to let everyone know that i'm having to put the next session of online classes on hold for now...hoping to get them going again in july, but it all really depends on how our big kitchen update unfolds and how long it takes. this is a huge project (as anyone who's done any home updates  knows...especially kitchens) and we really had no idea how huge until we started talking to contractors and installers and such. seems we'll be without a functioning kitchen for a while....and even longer if we go ahead and redo our hardwood floors.

so....if you want to make sure you get in the next session, make sure you sign up for my online classes mailing list 'cause members get first shot at signing up for new sessions and classes.

okey dokey i'd better get outta this computer chair. my kiddo has been home sick all week (strep+ear infection) and this is the only day this week i've had to get anything done and it wasn't as productive as i'd hoped. oh well...there's always next week. :D have a fab weekend y'all!!!

Online class signup & mini update

Aiden and I have been sick alot this winter and it has kept me from being online much....that along with the new puppy (see pic of Kayla in last post) and just life in general. I'm trying to get Aiden totally potty trained...meaning sleeping through the night without any accidents and it's taking a toll on me. I don't have much energy these days.....most nights I'm up a couple of times a night....more if he has any accidents. I feel like I'm constantly washing sheets & pjs! LOL!

Anyways...I have lots of news, but only time to share one little tidbit 'cause I gotta get back to work on some class samples for a class I'm teaching in Australia next year (more on that later). I'm finally accepting sign ups for a new round of the backgrounds and portraits classes. Click the link below for all the details and to sign up.

I'm thinking I may just have to do a video blog in order to do a brain dump of sorts.....so much going on and I'm finding it harder to write things down. Now if I could just manage a shower often enough then I may be camera ready one of the few times I have any energy these days.

I hope y'all haven't forgotten about me during my absence. I really miss my online buddies, but with only so much energy to go around these days, I'm having to be careful where I spend it. Speaking of energy, I'd better go take Kayla for her walk so she can get rid of some of hers. :) Much love to everyone! xoxo

My new online art journaling class

Hey y'all! I know I haven't been around much lately, but filming and setting up my new online class has taken a good bit of my time and then when you add in family and life in general....well that doesn't leave time for much else huh? ;) Anyways, my latest online class is creating a mixed media inspiration art journal and it's called "Enjoying The Journey". Here's a little info below for anyone interested. If you wanna sign up, cruise on over the my Ning network, which is where the new class is being held.

Struggling to find your creative voice? An inspiration journal is a wonderful way to help you discover your own unique style through experimentation and bringing together all the things that inspire you...whether that be particular artists, an era of time, colors, nature, your faith, a decorating style, fashion, or all of the above.

Join me for a journey where we will uncover what makes your soul sing using paint, collage, and down to earth journaling....no writing skills needed here...just writing straight from your heart. More than anything, we will learn to let go and let our inner voice be our guide...working intuitively. When we're done, you'll have made the first steps on your journey to discover your true creative self. Class includes four high quality video demos, PDF lesson notes, creative prompts, & artsy tips.

All level class ~ no prior art experience necessary

Lesson One ~ Getting color on the pages

Lesson Two ~ Adding meaningful imagery & text

Lesson Three ~ Journaling your inspirations

Lesson Four~ Embellishment, play, and discovery

Sneak peek

Lots going on here and I've had no time to blog, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek of one of the things I've been working on in between the craziness. :) I'm about to announce a brand spanking new online class and creative network to my online class mailing list. Be sure to join now to get first chance at signing up for my new class. :)

I'll try my best to post again really soon. Hope everyone in the US has a very happy Thanksgiving!!!! I am sooooooo very thankful for each and every one of you!!!! Much love!!!! xo
