and then its December

What an amazing year... so much has been accomplished.. I have conquered so much... I have been able to create some amazing works of art!

Thank you for taking time out of your day and reading my blog.. Following on my facebook artist page.

I hope I can continue updating my blog with a little more frequency.. I have so much to learn about blogging... just getting my feet wet.. found a great book to help me...
I love going to the book store and browsing what is available to educate myself in what catches my interests and inspires me to create!

I went to a super fun photo shoot back in October... it was a birthday present for myself... they turned out suuuuper cute.  Very uplifting and inspiring!
As some of you who know me.. I am a bit of a screwball!
Love being goofy.
Thank you Michelle from The Defiant Diva Boutique

I got the tree up.. have a nice evening with the kids getting their ornaments on..

Melancholy moment.. they are almost grown... Very proud of my two children.

They are beautiful in their hearts.. Smart in their minds and so very talented.
