My website's down
Just wanted to give everyone a little heads up that my website is currently down. I downgraded my plan so they had to move me to another sever. When they did that, I had to re-setup some stuff and things aren't coming up right now....I can't even publish my newly refreshed website.
So if you click on the website link to the left, all you'll see is an "account suspended" page right now. *sigh* just one thing after another at the moment....sure hope I can get things running smoothly again around here soon. Everything just seems to be breaking around me the past couple days...blech!
So much to do, so little time...hope y'all are having a better day than I am today. :)
EDIT: Well I decided that today's events were a sign that I needed to move my websites, so I'm in the process of doing that now. My art site is now back up and running (Yea!) on a new host with a bit of a facelift to make it more cohesive with my blog and hopefully my other domains will get repointed to their new homes soon as well.
When life gets in the way...
I'll bet y'all are wondering what happened to me, huh? Well sometimes life just grabs hold of ya and you can't help but listen. So much has been going on since I last posted.....my hubby went on a business trip to Malaysia, my Mom came up from Florida for a visit, Aiden had a half-birthday party at preschool (I'll post pics and video soon), and right in the middle of it all I started up my first online class. To say I have a full plate right now would be an understatement! LOL! And of course on top of it all, I have come down with a cold....one of those that keeps you up at night with coughing fits. Ugh!
One thing I did do for myself before all this got started was I went and had my hair done for the first time in a year....the color that is. I've had the blonde streaks for a while, but have always wanted red streaks.....and I mean "actual" red. So I decided, heck I'm just gonna do it! :D So now my dark brunette hair not only has refreshed blonde streaks, but also vibrant red as well. My hairdresser said that only I could pull off this hair. My hubby was totally speechless when I came home from the salon. I don't think he expected it to be so funky, but I sooooo love it!!! So fun and I feel really shows off my creative spirit. Nothing makes you feel more like an artist on the outside than painted hair. ;)
So know that I'm okay, just super busy and a little sick (praying that no one else in the house catches my sickies). I'm planning my next session of online classes, so if you want to make sure you get a spot in the next session, be sure to sign up for the classes mailing list because class list members will get first chance to sign up before I announce the next session dates here on the blog.
Okay, well I'd better go make sure Aiden's eating his lunch and go see what I can fix for myself. Hope you're all having a great week! I'll try to check back in again in a day or two once I get a bit more caught up on things around here. xo
Oh and if you're curious as to what my students are creating in my backgrounds class, you can visit our Flickr group to see progress pics that some of the students are posting. They are all doing such a fabulous job!!! :D
Candy anyone???
Just wanted to wish you all a happy Valentine's day! Hope you're having a great one!!!
Link: YouTube - Valentine's candy anyone???.
Update on backgrounds online class...as of this morning it was completely full! Yea! There is still some room left in the faces class, but I wouldn't wait long. At the rate people are signing up, it will probably be full in the next few days as well. :D
I am soooooo very touched at the enormous response to my classes!!! Thank you all so very, very much!!!! Y'all are awesome!!! xo
New video...running behind
I'm soooo sorry ya'll, but I've gotten behind today and don't have the video ready yet. It's been one of those days where I tried to do more than humanly possible. LOL! One of those things was working on the write ups for the online classes to send out to my mailing list...so if you want info be sure to sign up 'cause I'll be sending out an email later on this evening with all the details for the two classes I will be offering.
Hoping to have the video up by midnight PST if all goes well...or earlier if things go exceptionally well. Until then...
Remember to live and to love....
There's been so much talk the past few days on many of the blogs I visit about the untimely and tragic death of actor Heath Ledger. He was one of my favorite actors and from what I've heard, a genuinely wonderful person. While his death is sad and tragic, it reminds me that we never are guaranteed more than today and every day we get is a gift from God. If there's something you've been meaning to do....whether it's to start painting, drawing, or some other artistic endevor....or even getting back in touch with a long lost family member or friend....don't put it off.....do it!!! Start today!!! You never know how much time you have on this earth.
This song below is one I've been listening to alot lately....especially while painting in the studio. It is an amazing song and relates really well to not only what we should remember when something like this happens, but each and every day.....to live and to love. ♥♥♥
