The Cello

So my friend asked me to alter a musical instrument she gave me, the cello. Local artists were altering instruments for a local school to have at an auction to raise money for their music program. I have no idea what school/program it was for....but I had fun and of course I am always down for a cause!

I'm proud of how it turned out!

New Years Weekend

So I was able to have a long weekend and really enjoyed it!




There was of course NYE fun!




Then NYE rest the next day...




Get together with my wonderful lady friend. We enjoyed chili and I never knew about putting sour cream in it. Delicious!




New year tattoo! Colorful rose, colorful life and lots of luck for the next big year!




Then there was a lovely dinner I cooked. Easy and tasty. Salmon for one.




Then it all ended with a little art making. Which always helps me frame what's going on.


A wonderful weekend!! Happy New Year!

Art Therapy Without Borders Art Exchange

Here is a smattering of my postcards for the ATWB's postcard art exchange. I have already received a couple back! Can't wait to see what comes next. Very excited about this huge project!

I think it would be exciting to do this with traveling art that you add to and mail on. Like a large group community art piece. Maybe something to think about for another project!

Christmas tree is up! Its a tiny one this year, but full of just as much love! Can't believe it's been one year since I met that lovely man. A lot has happened in this past year. I look forward to many more!

Fall time

I really feel like I am soaking up my fall experience this year! It is my favorite season and I am using every moment I can to enjoy it. Haunted hayrides, bonfires, apple cider even a pumpkin smelled oil fragrenting my office. I love this season. You can smell the cold creeping in and the extra layering of clothes, I'm so happy for it to be here.

I took these photos today because I was noticing the red leaves emerging on the trees. They are my favorite!

I wanted to share them.
Enjoy!
