What a wonderfully FABULOUS day.....
Ahhhhh....have I ever mentioned that I absolutely ADORE Mondays??? Believe it or not, while everyone else usually complains about this day, I have always embraced it. For me, it means renewal...another chance to reset myself for a fresh start. I always start Monday mentally preparing for what I have been doing for years....and that is fasting. Todays fast was especially difficult for me because I just finished a 10 day fast last week. I do extended fasts 4 times per year....they always leave me with a renewed sense of energy that I love! My focus is so clear and my mind and body are cleansed. Today took extra focus to bring me through.....but the feeling is so good.....
I also spent a lot of time today with someone very special to me.....and saw more chance for not only change, but renewal in my life also....life is so good to me right now....I am so blessed to have so many beautiful, wonderful people that care and love me.
I know...usually I post a lot about business here...but this blog was truly meant to be my place to talk about other things in my life....and my life is changing rapidly right now....sometimes its hard for me to keep up with it myself....but today was so special to me that I had to come here and express how much joy I feel right now.
So, I leave you tonight with my thoughts that life is so special...surround yourself with people you love and cherish and the rest will just fall into place naturally.
Have a beautiful night!

Ok....so what do I have to talk about today??? Maybe the better question is what do I NOT have to talk about?? First up....can someone tell what this NASTY as heck chest cold is that's going around??? FOR SERIOUS...my whole dang family has it and its UGLY!!!!
Next up.....BAD GIRLS is SMOKIN' HOT right now....and I do mean that...in more ways than one way....LOL....ahhhhhh.....can someone just stick a pin in me already....I am ready to burst with EXCITEMENT!!! *drumroll* please .....First up....the AMAZING and EXTREMELY TALENTED Bad Girls Elite Artist, Ms. ANGIE BACKEN created a freakin TOTALLY AMAZING new BLEUPRINT for us...you have got to see this to believe it.....so...here it is in all it's glory....

All you gotta do is post to the BAD GIRLS BLOG
And also post in the BAD GIRLS PARLOUR
2 POSTS girlies...that's all I ask!!!! Does it get any easier than that???
Please post by Monday, February 8, at 7 p.m. PST
I will announce the winner Monday, February 8, at 8 p.m. PST
Good Luck..........Someones gotta win it, and it just may be YOU!!!!!
Next up on the roll......
We got KITS girlies!!!! The January kit "Whispered Dreams" is truly an artistic journey.....ohhhhhhhhhh...and trust me...I was ready for a journey...I needed to clear my head....I needed to heal...and this kit pushed me to do just that....it was both therapeutic and exciting all at the same time and I hope it does the same for you....
If you haven't already gotten your kit via AUTO SHIP, then please grab yours in THE SHOPPES today....we only have a few left!!!!
With this kit you will be instructed on how to create these projects.......
A gorgeous album that will help you chronicle all of 2010, with a page per month....
ohhhhh....the places we will go as we learn how to create with so many luscious elements...
This fabulous little album is actually not soooo little...it's 16 pages total...a work of art that you will cherish all year long....
as you turn page after page each month, all the eye candy will make your soul sing as you contemplate your next journey.....
Another lesson I am teaching this month is something that we all need.....releasing the inner artist child in you...life is too short girlies...and life is also too stressful at times...we need to nurture the creative soul and allow it to just let go sometimes...good things happen to your art when you can master this.....I created this Wallhanging as a result of my therapy and I hope you will also create something equally as soul satisfying to you....
You will learn how to break every single rule as you play with paing and mediums and learn to combine them effortlessly with the unthinkable....how fun!!!!!
and as you continue to free your mind of all the obstructions that taunt you, the realization hits you.....I AM AN ARTIST....and I LOVE IT.....
You will also be creating a STUNNING Keepsake Box....soooo perfect for that special someone for a Valentine's Gift, or for your own vanity or studio to store all your special trinkets.....
In this classroom you will learn the concepts of combining crackle with drybrushing to achieve that old weathered look that has layers and layers of old paint...
You will also learn the concept of MIXED MEDIA and become comfortable with adding lots of pretty trinkets and treasures in your creations...
I am not known for creating cards...matter of fact...I will admit here and now that I cant stand making cards...why???? Because It makes me cringe that someone just might toss my art in the garbage...*gasp*....just please recycle it...lol...ok....but, I thought...what if I can design something where there is removable art??? ahhhhh....now theres a concept, huh???? So....to the drawing table I went and came up with this....
Long after the party is over my girlie can remove the hanger decoration and use it to decorate her room, and if she wants to make her mama happy she'll know better and keep the pretty little card safe in a special album somewhere...lol
I would say that we have had quite a little blogging session, huh??? Goodnight my stepchild...sleep tight...lol
Have a happy Sunday everyone and God Bless!
xoxo
