Time to Accomplish ....The Studio

"Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment"

 - Thomas Carlyle

One of my favorite things about the New Year is grabbing my favorite cup of coffee and locking myself up in my Studio for some much needed CLEAN OUT time!
Yes, I tend to gather paper, pencils, glitter, more paper, watercolors, post it notes, ribbon, inspirational pictures and quotes and they build...and build...until I can no longer sit at my desk! And then, they move to the floor, the computer desk and even the sofa....there's barely any room for my poor cat, Olive -

 It gets so bad, that there's nowhere for me to work...and it's time to CLEAN....
So that's what I am doing this week!
How about you....? Do you keep a messy work desk? Or is it nice and tidy...if it is can you come over and help me? And, don't forget to bring another Starbucks, I am going to need it!

And Yes, You are Beautiful!

I love this quote....I don't think I will be recycling that Post it Note!

PS - we are almost at 260 Followers....Look for a give-away coming soon!

Sharing a Doodle....

I am almost done with my orders that I need to finish before  4 p.m. - but had to squeeze in this little doodle - yes, even Madeline the Mouse loves her morning STARBUCKS! Sometimes, changing from watercolor brush to markers helps rev up the creative energy!

Have a great day my friends!

It's the Most Wonderful Time...

It's here...

The Starbucks Holiday Cup....

Now, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year....

People always talk about the "little things" in life that make them happy, so I am sharing with you all,

one of my "little things"

...It's the Starbucks holiday cup.

Yes, It's that simple.

How exciting! Yum, the delicious Venti Skim Misto

that I love so very much, just got that much better today!

What a delight!

Why, do I love the red cup so much? Well, to me, it's always been the way I kick off the holiday season. 

 So, with misto in hand,  I walked next door to

Williams-Sonoma, and began planning my Thanksgiving menu....

and picked out a few holiday gifts, now if it only it would snow!

How about you?

Is there something little making you happy today?

My drink, A venti skim misto....

"Ah! How sweet coffee tastes!

Lovelier than a thousand kisses,

sweeter far than muscatel wine!

I must have my coffee."

Johann Sebastian Bach

"A cup of coffee shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent."

“Coffee and love are best when they are hot.”

German proverb

"I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee"

Carly Simon
