This is the front and back of a 5x7 journal page I made for a swap that requires each page to contain numbers, texture, and at least 3 colors.

computer down = art up

our computer got infected with several nasty viruses, which gave me a lot of art time. i'll try to get it posted over the next few days.
in the meantime, we did lose all of our email addresses, so if i had yours, i don't anymore, and i want it back again! so pretty please send me an email so i can rebuild my contact file. thanks!
here's a one-eyed zetti (4x6) postcard and a whimsy house ATC (2.5x3.5) made for some monthly challenges.

with a little art you can...

ok, that title popped in my head because of paul mccartney's song, "with a little love you can..."

this weekend i was able to make progress on my current canvas that i'm preparing as one of my pieces for juneau's annual gallery walk in december, make a 2-sided 5x7 nature journal page, start a numbers journal page, and finish up some swaps. in other words, finally, after 3 hectic weeks, i scored some art time! the best thing about it is how it makes me feel: calm, serene, happy!

here's some of the work i mentioned.

350

Did you hear about 350, the global event that took place Saturday? My youngest son, David Moriarty, organized the Juneau action. Here's a newspaper article published in this morning's paper. He's quoted throughout. I'm so proud of him!
He has better photos, taken by Shadow Hotch. Her photos will be the ones submitted to the global headquarters.

tomorrow's the last day to sign up for my art giveaway!

can't keep up

i know i haven't blogged. nor have i made art. i've been so busy that i'm behind on my blog, my art, my housework, my paperwork, my life.
this weekend i read (most of) a book about reversing diabetes. so i'm about to embark on the plan: no animal products. no vegetable fats (nuts, avacados, oils). i hope i can do it. i really need my health/life/energy back.
i've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. i just can't keep up. speaking of chickens, here are a couple that just might be about to become famous.
ok, i gotta get dressed, throw on makeup, get my daughter up, take her to school, go grocery shopping, come home + put the goods away, straighten the house, go pick up some prints and look at some proofs, get gas into my rig, meet a friend for lunch, come home and try to get something done, go pick up my daughter. come home and crash. then watch oprah. (yesterday's show was so fun!) then make dinner. then if i'm not too tired, make art til DWTS comes on at 8. if i am too tired, i'll just watch something on HGTV and read. then i'll watch DWTS and chopped. and then bed.
