Freedom!

Created this for my niece Corlin's room.

I am enjoying my new found freedom with my creations lately. Now that I'm not stressed to keep up a shop it seems to have unleashed some more passion for creating! This is what I've done in the last few days. If you see something you like and would like to purchase it just holla! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!! Merry Christmas from me!

This was my 3rd attempt at an image transfer on this canvas. It finally came out so I finished it! Below is a detail of the bottom.

This is what I've been doing lately, exploring!!
Still need to add a few details to this but it's pretty much done.

Lots of News!

Hi all,

It's a new year and already it's started out with a bang for me!!! I spent the end of last year frantically trying to diversify where I sell my art and that didn't do a thing. I started a Lollishop which I made new items especially for and have had no sales I am little down about that. I started an ArtFire shop also no sales. The only place I've been selling slowly but consistently has been Etsy. I'm thinking of waiting until my items expire on the first 2 sites then closing those shops. Makes life easier. I do promise I will do some new art this year. I have too!!! I am going to be in an art show in NYC in March and need to create for that!!!! Just have to have dedicated time and creative juices flowing to be able to do that. I currently am in an creative slump! Unfortunately my personal life affects my art and creativity and last year was a rough one for me. I'm praying this year is better and my creativity explodes!!!!! So all my artsy readers hang in there, I haven't neglected my art just need some creative juices to come my way. Does anyone sell Creative Juice???? I could use a case full!!!!

The other thing I started this year was becoming an Independent Silver Consultant for Inspiranza Designs. Let me say this ... I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! Yes I'm yelling!! The jewelry is high quality and affordable sterling and gemstones and some gold as well. I have had 3 parties since I've started and have made $500 for about 6 or 7 hours worth of work!!!!! This is the easiest "job" I've ever had. I wanted to share the join special this month for all of you because I would love to have you on my team (especially if you're creative, maybe that will rub off)!

So this is the deal:
New consultants can join for just $75 and they get a $75 credit to spend on jewelry! (If you're planning on spending $50 for a ring or a piece, why not spend an extra $25 and become a consultant with $75 in free jewelry and 50% off your first order!!!) This is a better deal then when I signed up last month!! Take advantage of getting 50% off jewelry now AND when the new line comes out!Have the opportunity to MAKE money on the side with their new business!
New consultants can build their teams quickly as well by inviting their friends to take advantage of this great offer! This is a great deal!!! If you'd like more info or want to do it you can view it on my site as well as the current catalog.

My brother Nate and his fiancée Petrie in Holland.

On another note, I'm soooo happy I did sign up for Inspiranza Designs, it's allowing me to go to my brothers wedding at the end of this month in Holland!! Yes, Holland in the Netherlands. I have made enough cash from ID and sales on eBay to buy my plane ticket cash! I was worried I wouldn't be able to go. I am one of 3 family members that will be there on my brother's side. I HAVE to go we're the closest in the fam and I wouldn't miss it for the world. He's also my last brother to get married!!!

So that's it for now. Life has been a whirlwind lately. I do miss my creative juices so send some my way artsy people!!! :)

Hope your year is off to a great start!

I can't believe this but my baby girl turned 2 this last weekend! Yes, Sunday the 18th was her birthday. We celebrated her birthday on Saturday with a really small party with close kiddo friends and family. It was Finding Nemo themed and she was thrilled! I'm still in shock we've reached the "terrible twos". I pray that this year goes smoothly. She's totally coming into her personality even more than ever. Poor baby ended up getting sick the night of her birthday and is just now getting better.

I'm so blessed to be her mama. She's starting to get really clingy with me which is draining at times but this is the first time she's ever been that way, she's usually so independent. I love that she wants to cuddle with me nightly now and she gives me random hugs and says, "I love you Mama." I LOVE my little girl and I can't wait to see what this year brings for her! She's my little buddy and I love being around her!

OK I'll stop being a sap!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lolo Bear!!! I love you!!

Mama

It's Official!

Hi all,

Well you know how many hobbies I have and things I have going on, well I decided to add another one to my list. Art sales have been way down for me and I need some extra income. I decided to become an independent consultant for Inspiranza Designs jewelry. I'm hooked! I went to one party at my neighbors house and fell in love with the jewelry and the business model of the company. They had a sign up special and today I made the choice to do it! I wanted to start 2009 off with a positive start. I'm praying it takes off and will be successful I have bills to pay!!!! I will have to be out of the house more but that's ok it's a great way to meet new people.

Check it out when you get a chance and let me know what you think! Introducing LoLo Glow!

Thanks!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
