Shaking Things Up!

CrownGood evening!

Now for the past few weeks, I have been hosting Blog Hop Thursdays, and to say that the results of that were less than stellar… well, let’s just say that it wasn’t working for me! So, I thought I would shake things up a bit and answer 5 questions about myself. Then you will have an opportunity to answer the same questions about yourself!

Do you see what I mean? Good, let’s give this a try!! 😉

  1. What is your all time favorite way to relax and unwind? a road trip is always good, and if it is a road trip to the Oregon coast, then I am in heaven!!! 😉
  2. What is your favorite color? on most days my favorite color is red, but then there are days when it is green, orange, blue, etc. etc.
  3. If you could have a do-over anywhere in your life, what moment would you choose to do-over and why? It would have been right after high school. I would have chosen to go to college with a major in something arty!!
  4. If you could have one crazy-zany-wildest-dream kind of job for just one day, what job would you choose? I would work with Melody Ross at a Brave Girls Camp!!! Oh-Em-Gee!! That sounds better now that I read that out loud!!! 😉
  5. If you could travel to any place in the world, where would you visit? I would normally say France, but after talking to my sweetie about it, I really, REALLY want to go see Ireland!!!

Ok, now that I have answered, it is your turn…

  1. What is your all time favorite way to relax and unwind?
  2. What is your favorite color?
  3. If you could have a do-over anywhere in your life, what moment would you choose to do-over and why?
  4. If you could have one crazy-zany-wildest-dream kind of job for just one day, what job would you choose?
  5. If you could travel to any place in the world, where would you visit?

Please answer in the comments section, which is located at the top and to the left of this blog posting!!!

I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!! 😉

Here is to a FABULOUS ARTSY evening!

If you want to have a different life, you have to live differently!!

Merry Christmas!

Good evening!

Merry Christmas!!

After being on sabbatical from being on the internet for the past few days,I am happy to be back, and wanted to with all of you VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 😉 I have been spending quality time with my family. We have gone antiquing, shared meals, laughed, had an insane Nurf fire fight over all of the opened Christmas gifts, gone to church services, and spent time with each other just having a GREAT time!!

Unfortunately, I am not going to have any pics to share. I am very sad to announce that my camera has gone kaput, for some unknown reason! So, I will either have to have a Christmas miracle to have it fix itself, I am going to have to find a way to get it fixed, or I am going to have to purchase a new camera! I am praying for that miracle!!! 😉 I will keep you posted! 🙂

Jason and I are heading home tomorrow morning, and as sad as I am that we will be leaving our family behind, I will be very happy to sleep in our bed again!! Air mattress living can wreak havoc on our poor backs, something that I am sure we will get over rather quickly!! 😉

As I make spend the rest of the evening trying to squeak some more time with my family, I want to wish you and all of your families a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Have a FABULOUS evening! :-)

Treasure Hunting!

Good evening!
The other day, I had the opportunity to go treasure hunting, and I thought today that I would share two of my finds with you!

I found these two spectacular pieces at Aunt Bee’s here in town! I was absolutely flabbergasted when I first laid eyes on them, I just KNEW they had to come home with me! They were a little spendier than I am used to spending on a whim, but I knew that they would be a great investment and a great addition to my ever growing art collection. That sounds so cool to me! 😉

These pictures make me long to visit Europe. I dream of what it would be like if I could live there someday. Maybe live in the countryside of France, or the hustle and bustle of an Italian Villa, or maybe even live on a remote and isolated  emerald isle of Ireland. DREAMY!

I can imagine myself walking endlessly, just enjoying the scenery, or holding hands with my sweetie as we enjoy the sights of Europe together. Reading on a blanket under a shady tree, or sloshing in puddles while wearing my wellies, and the rain is coming down pitter-patting on my umbrella, that of course I would have right on hand! I would love to see the magnificent architecture, and learn about the vast history, and I would be proficient in every language – ok that may be pushing it, but I think you get what I mean. I would love to be blend in with the locals, and live the culture the way that they really live it. Living life, loving life, enjoying my friends and family! That would be AMAZING!!!

Someday, you will see. I am not sure how, and I am not sure when, but it will happen!! And when it does maybe I will be able to see these actual scenes first hand. For now, I will settle with enjoying my European view through these small paintings that I will truly treasure! 😉

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉
