Spice, Spice, Baby

Spice, Spice, Baby

Since moving to Colorado I have been working part time as a professional organizer with my friend, Christa, at Peace Together Spaces.  It has been a lot of fun and fills my need to “sort and purge”.  Organizing other people’s spaces is a lot of fun and easier for me than organizing my own spaces (no emotional attachment to things).   Today I wrote a post for the PTS blog… let’s get those spice cabinets organized, peeps! Check it out by…

Going Bat Stick Crazy Around Here

And now for the excuses….. I have not died. Or driven off the face of the earth. (Yes, it looks like we might drive off the face of the earth on this road up to Pike’s Peak… oy) I have just been living a very crazy life here in beautiful Colorado. To catch you up on everything would make for a thick novel so instead I will sum it up. 1) Had a GREAT My Creative Escape retreat here in…

From Couch to 500….

From Couch to 500….

*Warning* LOADS of Photos… This summer I have focused on my health… a big part of why I have partially “abandoned” this blog.   In February I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and ridiculously (near dead) low levels of oxygen in my blood stream… (The last two years of my life have been a crazy medical mess.)  The doctor put me on a CPAP machine and oxygen at night and they have literally CHANGED.MY.LIFE In the first week of May…

Big HUGE News

Big HUGE News

Friends & Family… We have some crazy news! And now that all our immediate family knows I can “say it on the webs….”. hehe. This last week we had a major curve ball thrown at us. We’ve had a feeling for several months (which explains a little bit of my distraction from my blog) that “something was in the works” for us. A week ago this past Friday Brent was offered a promotion/new position at his company’s (Jab Broadband) corporate…

My Life’s Journey – A Mini Album

My Life’s Journey – A Mini Album

Wow, I’ve been gone quite some time from the blog.  No excuses, just busy living life.  Those of you who are facebook friends have seen what I’ve been up to.  (I hope to post about my adventures here in the next little while.) At the beginning of August I attended a class by my friend, the fabulous Sue Neal.. I just LOVE Sue’s classes!  I don’t make it to every one of them but try to go when I can…

NSD 2012: A Day at Doodlebug!

Last week my friend, Michelle (in WA state), sent me an email about a last minute event at Doodlebug Design in Salt Lake City….  I jumped at the opportunity to go, even last minute, and invited my friend, Tahne (in SLC), to come along.  Oh my gosh, was I glad I did!  I had the most fun NSD outing ever on Saturday!   Doodlebug HQ is probably one of the most colorful places on the planet… what a FUN, FUN, place…

Crafting On!

Crafting On!

Hello sweet friends! Yes, it’s been a while again. I did not anticipate abandoning my blog again… but sometimes life just happens.  April was an INSANE month for us… without boring you with all the details I will just say: “One work trip, one birthday (Brent), 2 surgeries (one Brent, one me), planning for one Creative Escape that I’m hosting this month, etc….”  All is well, we’re recovering from our minor surgeries and I’m chugging away in my studio. One…

Black Magic – A Folksy, Doodly Focal Image Technique

Black Magic – A Folksy, Doodly Focal Image Technique

Today I have a fun, folksy, doodly focal point image technique to share with you called Black Magic.  I saw this technique at SCS and fell in love with it and decided I just had to teach it at Creative University. It’s easy, fun, and different! I love the folksy look of the white doodles.  They remind me of tole painting and folk art. Here’s how you do it. Black Magic – A Folksy, Doodly Focal Image Technique I’ve been…
