The secret of being happy is accepting  were you are in life and making the most out of every day.

These are the clay hearts I created.  They are painted red then I painted flowers on them and added a pearl to the heart.  I thought they looked unfinished so I went back and outlined the flowers with a black outline that finished the heart and it tied well with the black cord.

Jewelry has the power to be this one little thing that can make you feel unique

It rained all day yesturday, I made jewlery almost all day sitting by the window watching the rain.  This was the end on my working day.  Love the weekends!

A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others

Making clay heart pendants on this raining day and loving the way they are turning out.  Now I just need to paint some flowers on them and they will be done.

We dont stop playing because we grow old...

We grow old because we stop playing.

Just playing around with paint.  My biggest goal for 2015 is organizing my time.  It was very clear to me that I was doing to many things last year.  But, I do love challenges so, this year I will be attending Delta College as well.  I will be taking a painting class!  I start in two weeks and I am super excited!  I can't wait!

Happy 2015!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

So many plans for this new year, I will share along the way.

Remember that you have only one soul, that you have only one death to die; that you have only one life, which is short and has to be lived by you alone; and there is only one Glory, which is eternal.  If you do this, there will be many things about which you care nothing.

 I can not belive the end of this year is upon us.  Much to fast for all the paintings I wanted to paint.  There were so many blessings this year, one of them was joining the Lodi Community Art Center.  I meet so many beautiful, creative people.  I got a part time job this summer and my Father has recovered from his stroke!  I can't wait for all the blessings that the new year will bring!
This was a painting that I painted over the summer.  It took me four months to finish, Alot longer than I hoped.  But at the end I was happy with it and it went to a very good home.

To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.

I have been working on this painting of my sister's and I for the last six months.  The plan was I would finish before Christmas.  I have not been painting it for six months, It has been sitting waiting for me for six months.  

Today is my day off from work so, I took my parents out for breakfast.  Spending time with my parents has been on my to do list for the last few months.  I am so greatful to have them so close. I will finish the painting very soon.
