As a Christian, one of the things I struggle with is when you try and work things out with someone when they refuse to meet you any part of the way (let alone half.) What’s worse, these people take the things you do and twist it, or outright lie about it, and then tell others [...]
Mixed Media: I’ll Live the Life
Last week I got a question about layers when it comes to mixed media, and this week I’m continuing with that. Once again, here are the backgrounds I started. I’ll be working on one of these for this picture. After I had all the background papers on, I covered the canvas with a [...]
Layering Mixed Media Papers
I got a question the other day about how to layer papers when it comes to mixed media. Of course, I’m new to all this and still experimenting, but I’ll tell you how I usually do it. The question specifically was about if I layer the papers first, or after the picture “gets going.” The [...]
Mixed Media: Addicted to Love
I’m playing with mixed media this week, and calling this one “Addicted to Love” after Robert Palmer’s famous video.

I got this fortune a while ago from a lunch date with my hubby, and it said “Keep an eye out for someone special.” I just loved this thought. I know, Chinese fortunes are dorky and made up, but I dig them anyways. You do too, right? Admit it!

I’ve spoken (probably too much) that in the last couple years I haven’t taken much time off. I think the reason I stress that is because so many people think you have loads of time when you’re a writer.
Cupcake Plate Stand
I’ve returned from my vacation (or more appropriately, staycation) and that means it’s back to gluing glass together. My obsession continues!
Play With Me! Play With Me Now
I think I’ve mentioned my writing partner, Genevieve, here a time or two. She’s absolutely hilarious and keeps me on track (or encourages me to actually step away from the keyboard) just when I need it.
