Hello everyone. I know I keep making promises to my readers, this blog thing is gonna happen soon I promise. I just had my surgery, and am in recovery mode. I dont know how long it will take for me to be back up to snuff, but when I am better...you just better all watch out. I am brewing up ideas even as I lie here stitched up, and crazy on pain meds. I am excited, and feel like I have a whole new outlook on art and life in general.

You just keep watching, because soon...I will blow you away!

And, a little FYI.

My shops are closed down while I recover. I will have no way to list and ship while stuck in this bed, so...stay tuned. I will tell you all when we are back up and running again!

Happy new years to all...Its time for a change in life every year bringing new beginnings...we all feel it in our heart but seldom follow it...this year...I vow...NAY I WILL BE HAPPY...come what may...Nothing will drag me down...I will succeed and i will thrive!

Now...this blog is dedicated to everything that is creative...I am an incredibly creative person and even in my sleep I am creating...My paper flowers came to me in a dream...half of the chapters in my books come to me in my dreams...

I vow to be published
I vow to have success in my business
and I vow to have my life in order! THIS is my resolution...

For all those around me, who follow me, love me, hope for me...I wish you all the best too...I will pray for you (though in my own way) and you will always have a place in my heart...Each one of you weather you have just commented on my blog...or you follow me...Or if your a great friend...you all have a special place...and you make me strong!

Its been a very rough year. My body gets older, weaker, and my creativity flows faster than I can keep up. Why my nit picky mess hater cant stand my creative sides mess. Its a constant battle for inner peace. I love what I do, who I am, and what I am becoming...

Some updates for everyone, I know its been a while, but I am hoping to get this all back on line this coming year.

First of all, I have had a very serious health scare this year, it requires more testing, and surgery...I am stalling. The tests scare me...

Second of all...I opened a new Etsy shop...Its doing very well, and I may be closing down the other shops...its just too much work. Pics of the new stuff will be at the bottom of this post.

Third. I wrote a book, well three actually. Only one is finished. Its a fantasy, romance epic tale. Im in search for a literary agent and hoping to be published next year! I have been a part of a writers group online and have gotten some rave reviews on my story.

The two other books are half done. One is another fantasy, romance type...more emphasis on the fantasy side here...The last one is the one I am most proud of. I entered, completed, and won National Novel Writers month...That means I wrote 50,000 words in 30 days...(29 actually but who's counting...hehe) I am very proud of myself for this accomplishment. The book is a serial killer murder mystery. Its gory, its sick, and its bad...Only 50 k words and I already have almost 20 dead people! I know! What is going on in my sick mind! LOL

Well that's all for now...I'm hoping to get this back up and going very soon! Stay tuned...More giveaways, featured artists, and challenges coming soon...
Take care all...and stay Crafty!
