Your card is in the mail. No, really. 🙂
It’s a rainy Wednesday morning here in old Spokaloo, as we locals affectionately refer to the place. Just the right kind of day for writing.
I had a great writing day yesterday, and Bernicie and I managed a good walk. We spotted moose tracks in the snow, huge ones, but fortunately did not encounter Bullwinkle ‘in person’. 🙂 What am I thinking? I had a fierce Yorkie along to defend me–just ask her. She’s always chasing off wild turkeys, lest they storm the house and take us all captive.
Still listening to the Daily Audio Bible on iTunes. Brian reads from a different translation of the Bible each week, and I enjoy his messages and powerful prayers after the reading. The app is free, if you think you might be interested. If you’re not interested :), that’s okay, too. I like to pass on things I enjoy.
On the art front, I found something cool, Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plates. You smear them with acrylic paint and then press paper onto them and lift, so the color stays behind, the idea being to use layers, different paints and textures, etc. I haven’t had time to try them out yet, but you can bet I will soon. Art is my therapy–I use it to decompress.
At the end of May I’ll be attending the CREATE Retreat, in Irvine, California, and I’m so excited. Finally, I get to take classes from Laurie Mika, polymer clay artist extraordinaire. I simply LOVE her work. Looking forward to that and hustling to get plenty of writing done beforehand, so I can concentrate in the workshops. September will find me in Durfort, France, studying with Lynne Perrella and Lisa Renning. If I’ve already regaled you with all this, forgive me, please. I’m just YEEHAW excited!
More tomorrow. Be well and, as always, be kind. Folks are having a tough time out there, and a smile and a warm word can make all the difference.
