Here's a fun tool for #TuesdayToolsAndTechniques . It is the dotting stylus / tool for creating dotted mandalas. You can buy these at craft stores and Amazon. The ones I show you , I bought as a kit and it wasn't that expensive; you can create some of them with household items. Q-tips work well, as ...

Today's #FridayFinds is a special event called the Women Thrive Summit. The host and creator Raimonda Jankunaite, created an outstanding line up of speakers. And what was special was that the majority, I'd say 99%, were female speakers taking the stage for this virtual event (as I only saw one male!...

Hello and welcome to #ThirdDegreeThursday . Today's question has to do with a personal saying. Whatever one you choose will represent yourself, as there will be some semblance of truth to you. There is something that rings true to you.

The one I chose represents the variety of hardship I have endur...

Today's technique is crosshatching. it is a drawing technique that has been used for hundr...

Happy St. Patrick's day!!  And, I hope you are wearing green! Years ago, McDonald's used to have St. Patrick's Day green shakes. Do they still offer that?

Today's #FridayFinds is all about a foundation and a concealer. There is a story of me getting this foundation and concealer delivered to me. It...

I love reading modern prose and poetry books that have to do with us, humans, and our development into our personhood. An example of this is Canada's famed poet Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey. But a few days ago, in Chapters, I found a book by Brianna Wiest named Ceremony.  The cover's title and the aut...

I hope this post finds you well. I am well but seem to be a bit forgetful! Yesterday I drove into the city to go to the dentist for a crown on my tooth. Perhaps it was my tiredness, but i forgot that this morning I had a LIVE Art & Soul Creation time, in my FaceBook group, at 10 am!! D'oh!! Thank go...

Today's #ThirdDegreeThursday has to do with podcasts. My favourite podcast is Denise Duffield-Thomas' one called Chill & Prosper. Chill & Prosper is also the name of one of three of her books; it is about balancing work with life and having the proper mindset, and it also  has wonderful tips and tho...

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 ...

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...
