We are about half way through January 2019.  Happy New Year Ya’ll!

I am relieved the holiday season is behind us, although a little sad because I love the Christmas season and the joyousness of it all.  But I  look forward to new projects the Lord has given to me for the new year.  Every now and then I am asked, “where do I get my inspirations and ideas from?”  It’s all from God!  He made me, he knows how I am and he puts ideas in my head.  I just go with it.   Every single person has special gifts they are born with.  It is up to them to discover what they are good at and develop it, the way God intended.

Ephesians 2:10 says we were ‘created in Christ Jesus for good works’.

That is my mantra for this year,  Not just good works through art but also good works by visiting a sick friend, being patient in traffic and serving those in need,  I intend to make more time for others, and make more time for fun, joy and happiness.

I am gearing up for a  “Heart themed”  Trunk Show at Jane Hamilton Fine Art Gallery.  I will be teamed up with jewelry artist, Alice Baily, February 2 & 3.   I will be selling everything hearts!
