I'm Back... I Think

Yes, I'm back and trying to figure this out yet again. Life has been... life. I'm still here but no longer in North Carolina but Michigan. It's Worldwide Watercolor Month so that's what I plan on doing. Dusting off my paints and get back to creating.

Getting Back To It

I haven't been on IUOMA for a very long time now. Life decided to happen, etc, etc, etc. The group has been on my mind for some time now and I will start back slowly. I do hope everyone's new year is off to a good start. See ya soon,

St Pat's Card

My good friend out in California surprised me with a St Patrick's Day card. With so many life things going on, I'd forgotten the day was coming up. I looked at the calender and saw I had some time to send her something. So I made her a postcard. After all, she is Irish.

Moving Along

I finally was able to get a set of cards done and here they are. I really liked doing mixed media but am ready to try something else. A fabric card or painting. Cut paper maybe. Too many ideas and not enough time. Oh well, I shall move along, keep going and see what happens. I do like the idea of using up some of my art supplies that have been sitting around.

A Creative Break

I thought I would start the month off with a bang. Um.... yeah. My body and brain said otherwise,so I took a creative break and watched a lot of movies and did some reading.

I'm New and Trying to Get a Clue

I have met some really nice people so far. Thanks to my pal Jon. I have so many ideas sprinting through my head, I better wrangle one down and get started. Then there's the visit to the post office.
