Today is #WednesdayWins!  I am so grateful for this little addition into my life. In December I bought the 2023 Jen Sincero's You are a Badass desk calendar. There are so many aspects I like about it.

• It reminds me what day it is. (Really!! It was a problem before.)
• i like Jen Sincero's writing

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope this day is a reminder to love yourself and be proud of yourself. I really believe our first love should be ourselves, for it is like putting the oxygen mask on yourself first. We can make a stronger effect on others, if we love ourselves first. And once we take care ...

For today's #WednesdayWins I am thankful for all the fresh food (fruits, vegetables and meat) we get throughout the year. Forty some years ago, that wasn't common; fruits and vegetables were only available in your immediate area and during the season. So fast forward to last night, I had salmon with...

Today's #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques is all about the mini abstracts I created to accompany my Artist Cards. The mini abstracts are mixed media. I loved playing with collage of rice paper and wrapping paper, and the stencils I used to create a variety of patterns. On top of that, I created it all usin...

On this #ThirdDegreeThursday , we are talking about spirits, ghosts. Some people have stories of their encounters with them. Have you had an experience with them? Was it identifiable as someone or something you knew?  What happened? 

Hey everyone! I hope you’re having a great week so far! Just wa...

Burnishing... "polish by rubbing."  Well it kinda is like that, but we are using pencil crayons, instead of the traditional metal burnishings. What we do is place a lighter colour on top of the base colour, and the act has pressure to it because we are rubbing it into the base colour. So it is the a...

Today's #FridayFinds  is the top selling book by Prince Harry, called Spare. Here we get a glimpse inside the dysfunctional royal family. What separates his family from ours is the desire to look good in the daily British newspapers. It seems there have been times where a person's misdoings would be...

The question for today is: Have you, or do you know someone, who has suffered from mental illness (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia etc.)??? Let's light up those 'YES's' , in the comments, to show that it is more common than not!!

Today is #BellLetsTalk . Today this is where eve...

In the summer, this cat was coming around the house. I began feeding him as he looked scruffy. I was right in my assumption as he would gobble the food down. I tried to figure out where he lived, but I never figured that out.

He would come 2-3 times a day; he would eat and then move to the corner o...

Today's #TuesdayToolsAnd Techniques is all about metallic watercolours. These Arteza watercolours are so beautiful. They look lovely on white watercolour paper but they can also be painted on black paper; these paints look amazing on the black paper! If you are looking for something unique to paint ...

Hopefully you are doing well on this day! The sun is shiny here and the temperature is quite lovely at -3C.

Today I was wondering what question to ask today. Then I thought of Shephen Colbert, of the Late Show, and how he hasThe Colbert Questionert; this questionaire is supposedly make the responde...

Today's #WednesdayWins is my LIVE: Art & Soul Creation. This is a time where I lead a creation time and some 'me time.' At first I welcome everybody and introduce some new art material to them. After that, we either do a guided meditation or a reading from a book; I find this is a lovely way to ease...
