Thankful Indeed!

Cool Weather!!  It may seem silly to celebrate temperatures under 80 degrees....but welcome to Phoenix.  This has been the hottest, longest summer on record.  We are SOOO ready for cool weather. And, as typical for us, we don't ease into it.... we SLAM into cold temps.  But I am not complaining.  I was not sure those sandals were going to make another month.  

So now I am getting excited about all the Fall and Winter opportunities coming up.  I am also beginning to enroll in classes for the new year.  Awesome opportunities for a LifeBook 2017 (see link for Willowing Arts on the Right) and Miriam Schulman art lessons (also see Right), as well as Jann Grey and Rebekah R. Jones Bible journaling.  This will be a super fun year.  I can't wait to take my art up a notch.  Always looking for ways to improve and get better at expressing myself in my art.

Meanwhile I keep sketching, keep journaling, and keep making my Small Art (SmArties) and adding them to the pages here so you can take a look.

I am also working on my ThankFul Season 2016 journal and using these mounted SmArty pieces to decorate the pages.  I will add some of those finished pages to the ThankFul Season section so you can see how I am using them.

All of this creativity gives me a sense of peace and accomplishment in an otherwise hectic time of year.  I hope everyone takes some time to let their creativity flow and bring you a measure of peace.
