We are super excited about what is coming your way...up next is our Kayla, Teresa introduction video we made; so you can see us chit chatting with you....*disclaimer* when you see the video I want you to know that NO alcohlic beverages were involved.  My daughter seems to think I act like I had a few....but sorry folks it's just me, a little air headed at times...and have a hard taking things to serious...well that's all I will say...you will see....please don't judge to harshly! :)

Above is my hand lettering with india ink on plain white paper...I do love hand lettering....maybe I will throw in a lesson for that really quick too!! 

The blog site for Make Something Beautiful also has the supply list on it now!   Please share all and any information with your friends about the course...would love to have you all!!!!  

And...for those of you who didn't win in the give away....we still have our discounted price available this week, a savings of $25.  Hope to see you there!!!

*diploma

I MADE IT FINALLY!!!  It finally came..in the mail..THE DIPLOMA..  I started here, which seems so long ago, and I finished last summer.  However, I couldn't figure out why I didn't get my diploma I "paid" for, {you actually have to pay to exit school to get your diploma}, anyway, it never came and never came...I contacted the person in charge of sending diplomas and oops wouldn't you know it I had an OVERDUE library charge!!!  So after that was straightened out, and paid for which now I was into about $225 to get my diploma...a few months later it FINALLY came!!  I opened the big white envelope..and cried.  This was a longggggggg haul....it wasn't easy at all.....and so needless to say when this big piece of paper finally came to validate my hard work, I cried.  Whew, I made it.  Kayla and I were neck in neck for finishing school...we both really went through so much..and now

WE ARE HERE!!  

Together - working  on something we are so very passionate about.  

This week will be listing our supply list...and a little introduction video of me and my baby to say hello to everyone. 

If you are still thinking of signing up...we have extended our discounted offer just for this week ONLY!  Then the class will be back to our regular price.

So sometimes at night while watching tv in bed, I will grab my moleskin sketchbook and start little sketches.  I chuckled this morning at this sketch, because as you can see from one page to the other there is a pencil line that shouldn't be there....oops I fell asleep in the middle of sketching and you can see my pencil mark going right along with my snore I am sure.  Most of the time I don't even know I have fallen asleep with my pencil in hand.  I have this really great husband who is always prying away either the computer, paper, pencils, books, my Bible from my hands after I fall asleep.  He puts everything away nicely, and takes the glasses off my face and puts them on the nightstand.   If I were a smoker I would have been burned in bed by now...sheshhh, thankfully I have Dave to take care of me!  

dueling ukes

It's dueling ukuleles around here!

Kayla has a pink one!!  

It's adorable!

Seriously I recommend everyone should have a uke

they are so soothing to listen to

and really fun to learn to play

much easier than a guitar.

Maybe we will have a little duet for you while we

are filming our art online e-course!

Have you had a chance to sign up?  I so hope you join us. 

I want everyone to not only experience the fun of a ukulele, but

also take some time for an art experience as well. 

I've heard a lot of comments about being unsure,

and I want to say rest assured!!  This course

will be perfect for someone who always

wanted an art school experience. of

course without all the pressures, I  promise.

 

And..

hello, are you a fan of Downton Abbey?

I really love this masterpiece.  And am happy with how Season 2 ended, but really unhappy that season 3 doesn't start until next January!!  Really?  We have to wait a whole year??  I am going to drag out watching the first season and second, up until December anyway.  

I am going to miss this being on Sunday.

Okay so three pieces of advice:

1) buy a ukulele

2) sign up for the art course

3) get hooked on Downton Abbey

oh

and

don't forget I am still having a give away for spots in the course! :)

 

give away + new introductory offer

Seriously I am having the toughest time with this little painting - my undertakings overwhelm me sometimes.  I am attempting to make a mixed media "look" piece; meaning I am not using any papers at all - I am hand painting all that would look like papers, etc.  It's just massive layers upon layers.  I started painting the girl first time and hated it, so I gessoed over it and started over....maybe using paper isn't a bad idea. :)  But that's okay it's a challenge!!

thank you's

Oh my goodness, you people are the sweetest darn dog lovers ever!!  Thank you so much for your warm thoughts and words.  I appreciated every single one and believe me they helped bunches.  I am feeling so much better; still miss my Penny, but then again I am sure I always will.  

Life goes on after any death; some things are easier, some things are not.  I think of a few women who have lost their husbands recently, and the different steps of grief there are.  Thank God in Heaven that Dave survived and I didn't have to feel that pain in life yet, clearly God had other plans for him.  

On happy notes...my baby girl and I are becoming really excited and filled with anxiety all at the same time for our upcoming art e-course we are having.  Wow, it is really scary putting yourself out there for this type of thing, but I feel confident it will be a really good thing.  Fear can just take a back seat!!!

For those of you who might be interested or know someone else who might be interested, here is our information once again.   Sorry I am beginning to feel like a broken record talking about it, but I don't know any other way to advertise or spread the news. :)  If you feel like you would be so kind to mention it on your blogs, well that would be awesomely cool.  

Mmmm, there is nothing better than a studio filled with panels, paper, paints, and easels!!  

{This is one of Kayla's studio photos from college}

Here is some of my mess!!  Please seriously can you be an artist and be organized and all neat and perfect?  I think not!! :)

Okay so the registration starts
