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!

Where Have I Been...and other Goodness!!

Well I can't believe how much time has passed since I last blogged...let's just say that I had a close call and I've been recouperating.  What happened you say?  Well I'll tell you...around the last time I wrote here I had suffered from something that can happen to diabetics but it's not really mentioned...well I guess it is but it's mentioned with the long list of things so you kind of disassociate yourself from it...well at least I did.  It happens when your blood sugars go from being too high to too low...and you suffer from memory loss...not permanently but it sure has taken a long time for me to get most of it back.  It's been a scary and long road...

At first I didn't know what to do and I didn't go to the Doctor until about a week later...it was a mess and I didn't know just how bad it was. Long story short, it took months to get myself to a somewhat "normal".  I'm still struggling with my sugars but it's not as bad...let's just say that I need to take it serious;  losing my memory was pretty bad and I'm glad I got it back...it's a scary thought to think of it being gone forever!

 Now that my memory is back I can plan things, things like painting!  Now I still was trying and I did pretty good...not my best but good...thank you ColourArte for your patience!  This next painting is my latest creation for ColourArte...I think it's pretty good!

The Little Owl

Hello Everyone!  I hope everyone is doing fine!  I have something to share with you - I'm going to be showing a new little owl!  Well that's after I draw it - but first we gotta get some color on the white!

I put on some color first:

Then I get the colors toned down:

Then I draw the little owl...

*Getting ready to paint...

*Gotta add the brown to the owl:

*Then I will add the yellow...

*Then I'll add the black & white...
