Focus On My Future...

Another flash of time has flown by and I have forgotten all about my little blog...but alas here I am and we are already in a new year too...2017!  Well the past months gone by have been busy but I am going to get busier from now on...I am going to focus on many things in my life too!  The 1st thing is that I'm going to focus on my health because I want to be healthier and I'm excited about the many changes it will bring.  The other focus is my income...I need to be abundant and I need an income so that I can be a blessing to others!  I will be bringing more Art and Crafts to the table and even if I have to get a job.  So here's an update of all the things artistically that I've been up to:

Welcoming Autumn...

Hello and Welcome Autumn!  I love this weather and cannot wait for the weather to change...cool crisp breezes from the heatful days!  Although I am in Southern California and the weather hasn't really changed...temp is to be 100 today and tomorrow but then falling below to 88 the day after!

Still there's hope for the change...getting a break from the heat!  Yesterday we got to enjoy a family walk after dinner...we walked our little puppy Gracie for the 1st time to the park yesterday and Cici got to play on the slides and climb...so it was good!

I recently have had some productive time in my *Studio* as I like to call it...I created this custom piece for 2 very special people...my parents!  This sits lovingly on their shelf above their coffee station!  So yeah, I can do custom work...only in U.S. as the shipping out of the States is a bit much.

I am putting myself out there because I need to work...we are on a single income (my husband) and lately it's spreading thin.  So if you would like something custom or just would like to purchase my artwork it would be lovely...you can message me on my FaceBook or here or you could check out my Etsy store Gina's Whimsy HeArt Boutique!

The other thing I've been working on is 2 batches of greeting cards...creating cards has been something I have been doing for such a long time...at least 20 something years!  I just never offered them for sale because I usually create smaller batches for my personal use but these papers were so inspirational to me for the fall season!

  These are nice full cards at 6 1/2" x 5" and they are $2.00 each

   

Well I will be back soon to post more creations...as I am ~

My Arts and Crafts Room...*ReNewed*

Hello and Happy Labor Day!!

So it's been a while since I last wrote here and I thought I'd post a little update...the main thing for me is that I recently moved all my art stuff into my Arts and Crafts room!  I am so happy with the outcome and can't wait to work on all my newest commissions...here's a little look into my room:

 

Now I'll be able to just close the door and not worry about leaving a mess...not that I want to but what makes this easier in having my things in a room!  I did finish organizing just last night so I wanted to post while this was all still fresh.  Now the funny thing is this is where I originally started from and then I went into the dining space to the living room and then back again to the guest room!  Funny how things just come full circle...

An Update of my Cre8v Life

"Let The Heavens Open"

Getting ready for some new things...I'm gonna start teaching some classes/workshops from my home!  I hope to get these all filled for the summer and well see how it goes from there!

I'll be creating some announcements for those soon...as soon as I get all the details worked out!  In the meantime...I've been tinkering again and I love it!  Here's a few things I'm working on:

 *I also re-opened my Etsy Boutique...I decided it was the best (for now) to display my artwork!  I will be adding artwork (original), jewelry, prints, and digital art every week so be sure to stop by often!

*Here's some original art I have available in my 

Gina's Whimsy HeArt Boutique:

"A Wing Of Hope"

"I Dream Of  Painting"

"Time To Fly"

Well I am going to get back to my "Cre8v" place!!  Just wanted to update all the new things going on here!  See you soon!  Cre8tvlyYrs, Gina

By The Breeze...and *Happy Homes*

Happy Homes - 1st one Sold!

 Boy time has surely passed by...it's the end of the school year and it looks like it's going to be a hot summer!  Since I last wrote here there has been alot of things that we have gone through...life has changed...when we let go and let our Angela go we changed for the better...it was like she was there leading us out of our grief...by the breeze.

We are all closer...it is just 4 of us now...Art, Cici, and lil' Gracie and I...we have bonded like never before.  My Cici has finished her homeschool and she is looking forward to the summer with all the joys it'll bring...our relationship has been great too.  Our lil' puppy Gracie is always by our side making sure we are all ok...she makes us laugh because she tries to talk!

My husband Art & I have been working on some new things too...and I'd like to share them with you all...we've come up with some "Happy Homes" Yard Art...designed by me, built by him and painted and finished by me!  Here are some photos of them:

Here's my Artie building the 1st one!

Please put *Happy Homes* in the subject line!  These are only available in Southern California at this time.

My Favorite one!

Not Enough Time...

Sometimes there just isn't enough time...not when it comes to my baby girl YaYa or Angela.  Last Monday she went to heaven...and I miss her presence so much, she was a sweetheart...

It was pretty hard to do anything creative so I decided to create something in memory of her...

"Not Enough Time"

Love, Peace, Joyful

Here are some ATC cards featuring some of my birdies that I painted with ColourArte's Twinkling H20's!  These are my Twinkling H20's collection that I arranged by color and I love using them!

Here are the colors that I used to paint the ATC's

Here are the completed ATC's that I created using the ATC's

and then stamping some words on them.  

Here is the finished book:

Thanks for looking!
