Look at this girl. This girl loves full-length skirts and fearlessly twisted her long-sleeve shirt into a halter top. This girl raises her chin at a jaunty angle. This girl is sassy. This girl still lives inside me, and from time to time, she comes out to play.
Look at that belly.
So who lives inside of you?

I’m crazy about texturizing medium, a paste used to add surface texture to a canvas. Stiffer than paint straight from a tube, I love to scoop out blobs of paste with a palette knife and mix in a few drops of paint. Once dry, texturizing paste doesn’t drip or droop. I like to create peaks and grooves with a palette knife, and you can also make press patterns into it, or use it as glue to add collage items.
Blobs of paint featuring texturizing medium.
I used texturizing paste is this part of my painting, Can you guess what these are?
What have you been experimenting with lately?

Are these berries edible? Or poison?
Passing by, I couldn’t help but notice the delicate blue berries and their red stems.
What’s caught your attention lately?

Today, these gals got all gussied up, sprinkling themselves with fairy tale magic in an effort to kick off 2015 right.
All dressed up with no place to go.
So where should these 3 lovely ladies go to celebrate the new year?
Happy New Year everyone! May we all enjoy a year of good health, love and peace.

We’d never decorated a gingerbread house before so we don’t know the rules.
All I know is that we decked out our house (kinda) and set it on the counter to live.
Almost immediately, chunks of gingerbread started disappearing. The base was the first to go. Then the people. The walls crumbled, and eventually we were left well…this.
The state of our gingerbread house last week.
Do you decorate gingerbread houses? If so, what are your rules about decorating? And eating?
Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates.

I was prescribed Klonopin for insomnia in 2005. Seven years later, after a slow, medically supervised wean, I became cognitively impaired, and after 30 months of intense suffering, I have been resurrected - a phoenix, come from the ashes, ready to battle doctors and big Pharma, while offering empathic support to those still suffering protracted withdrawal symptoms.
A perfectionist by nature, I'm learning to find beauty in the chaos. I'm the girl with the big ideas and the big hair. And words. Always words.
