Not all things are the same. It's like that way with acrylics. A lot of people think of acrylics as paint in tubes. Acrylics comes in different consistency. There is the craft hobbyist acrylic paint that is thinner, while the artist tubed acrylic paint is thicker. There is also a type called Fluid A...

Many years ago, we had a cleaning lady. There was always a trouble with glass cleaner; as it left streaks on the glass...and you'd have to do it again. Well, Roxanne (cleaning lady) kindly introduced to us an amazing  cleaning aid called Invisible Glass. It was/is amazing for streak free magic!! We ...

Today I took the stray cat that came to our house, and then came into our home (and hearts), to the vet for a check up and to be neutered. He was coming around out house since summer time, and as the weather got cooler, we got hime a cat house with a heated floor. Then one snowy day he came to our b...

I like it when I'm organized...it seems the world flows better (at least I think it does!). It really helps to organize my art supplies, in particular. Then I know the material that I want is right 'there!' I did this with my acrylic paints (which included full bodied acrylics and fluid acrylics). B...

Have you ever bought a calendar for the new year? You know the fancy kind that is specialized in one way or another... amazing images, for keeping track of family activities or a small day calendar with quotes. In the past I have gotten a door, "see the entire year" calendar. I've also had a daily c...

Welcome to #ThirdDegreeThursday ! Some people to relax, watch television. I do that every now and again, but mostly you will find me either reading a book or creating something. I like to read non-fiction books that are either art related, business or the well-being/soulfulness genre. Lately, I h...

Happy New Year!! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable holiday season! Mine was very quiet, as we stayed home. Despite the quietness, a little spice was added by taking in a stray from outside. He had been coming around our house since the summer and we even had a little heated (floor) house for hi...

I was thinking it was going to be the same for me. well, lady luck was on my side, and I was able to get in t...

Journals are exciting. The blank pages are ripe with creative possibilities. Starting a new journal is, I find, a happy occasion. I think of all the future creations and thoughts scribbled down. I am finding myself excited about this new Ranger Ink Dylusions Creative Journal, because it is a differe...

There are books that are good because it is enjoyed by the reader and because it satisfies the question the reader had. The book "How to Write Copy That Sells" by Ray Edwards does both. I am about halfway through this 163 paged book and find it an easy read, because the author explains things so wel...

Today's #WednesdayWins is the warmer weather today. Yesterday was -30, I believe, and it was biting cold. When I went out today, it felt like it was spring (I think it was -5)! Clearly, it isn't, but one can always dream!

The reason I am thankful for the warmer weather is for all those without a ho...
