I am cuddled up inside dreaming of living in the sunshine and swimming in the sea...

Care to join me for some Sunshine dreaming?

Hope So!

The Journey

Hello!

The new year is upon us, ( it's almost February)! And, I don't know about you, but in the new year, I always tend to move towards new beginnings....

So, Yesterday, while I was walking home, I got to thinking about

New Beginnings

and Old Endings...

There were a lot of endings in 2012....

But, that journey of saying good bye to them leads us to the door of a new journey that we face today...with the key to opening many new adventures.

Does this make sense?

Sometimes things are out of our control, sometimes we experience negative events in life,  that at the time, are unimaginable. But on the bright side,  from every journeys end, I know there is a new beginning to follow. 

So after saying my goodbyes yesterday, and clearing my head, I feel like I can finally say 

Hello! to 2013 and get back on the path and discover my next journey....

After all, 13 is my Lucky Number!

Creative Tuesdays - April Showers

After the rain...

the grass will always grow....

Even though things may seem dark and dreary at times,

 if we are patient and ride out the storm....

good things eventually begin to sprout!

The theme for this week's Creative Tuesday's is April Showers- 

after the April showers...the May flowers provide hope and new life...

I am sharing this illustration  with my friends over at Creative Tuesdays...

See you there!

Wednesday Coloring Page is Here

I have hundreds of pencil sketches laying around The Studio. I put so much love and thought into each sketch, I just hate to let them go....

My kids and their friends enjoy coloring them in when they are hanging out up here,

 so I have decided to start sharing them with you ALL!

Simply click on the sketch,  print it,...grab some pencils, crayons or markers and color away!

Let me know if you do and I just might feature them here on my blog!

So today's sketch is Rain Girl....we've got rain today - so I thought she was

perfect for today!

Here is mine ...remember her?

Have a creative day!

Music...is Medicine for the Mind

She appeared in my sketchbook last night, after reading about these fox fur headphones from Beats by Oscar de la Renta - How fabulous and definitely frivolous!  - earmuffs and headphones a great combination....

So, music to me, is definitely medicine...I've got my Pandora radio plugged up with this station, today...
a little old fashioned romance....

How about you?....

What music gets you going....?
