waaaaaaay behind

i just wanted to let y'all know that i've been getting all your wonderful emails and blog comments (thank you!), but it's gonna take me a while to respond. we've got alot going on here at home and honestly i still feel like i'm not quite fully recovered from my trip last week....the lack of sleep and the time difference affected me more than i though it would. i appreciate y'all so much and i have been reading the emails and comments as i receive them and will reply when i can. i just wanted to let y'all know how important you all are to me!!! it means so much that you take the time to leave sweet comments and send me lovely emails!

well, i gotta get going....kayla's puppy obedience class starts in a bit and i don't wanna be late. much love to you all!!! xoxoxo

I'm off to Inspired. in NC

I leave early in the morning for the Inspired.Artist.Workshop in Concord, NC. It's gonna be a crazy, but fun few days. I expect I won't have the energy or the time to answer questions/emails while I'm away. I'll be back next week....hopefully with lots of pics and stories to share. :) I'm gonna try to post pics from the event via my phone, but I may get caught up in it all and totally forget. We'll see....

So 'til then y'all....have a blessed week!!! Much love!! xoxoxo

P.S....to all my Inspired. students, be on the lookout for my class sign painting below if you're lookin' for my classroom. :D

Music from the studio

i'm busy working in the studio today (finally got "inspired" for my inspired. class door sign lol!) and i've been listening to my favorite band third day while i paint. i looooooooove mac's voice and i can just get lost in his voice and the lyrics while i'm working. i find that when i'm trying to control the creativity, instead of letting it come through me, things just don't work. it's only when i let go of the process that it comes easily. listening to music that moves my spirit and touches my soul helps soooo much! so, i just had to share one of my favorite songs that's i've been listening to today. enjoy!!! now it's back to work for me. :)

A belated Happy Easter!!

I meant to pop on here yesterday to wish everyone a quick Happy Easter, but I never managed to. I was so touched by a song we sang during our Easter service communion at church yesterday that I wanted to share it with y'all. Wishing you hope and a happy belated Easter! xoxo

Video - On our way home from Alabama
