I'm a poet, not an artist, but I find art very therapeutic, so I practice it regularly. I facetimed my mom this morning. We had a lovely morning of chatting and creating.

Life Updates
A turned 12! We had a big party with the neighborhood kids. We got pizza, cake, and ice cream. She liked all her gifts! I learned how to collage in Procreate. Finally! I can add collage elements and papers to my paintings. That's actually what I'm doing to relax this afternoon. I'm clipping photos and … Continue reading Life Updates
Summer is here
A just landed back home with her grandparents. C and I are having a lovely day just us again (A traveled all day Saturday too). We went to a lovely shop that sells coffee and analog photography supplies. C got excellent coffee. I got an adorable new 35 mm camera with a bunny character on … Continue reading Summer is here
Looking Ahead
I'm looking ahead to a lonely summer. My inlaws arrived yesterday. After they spend a few days here, they're flying A back to Georgia with them. Honestly, my baby flying without me scares me.

A voice spoke to me and said, "Go to the church," and told me to take my camera. I said no. It was cold, I didn't like … Continue reading The First Time God Ever Spoke to Me
Classes I’m Taking
I'm so happy! I found a course to listen to online about art therapy. I found another on pressed flowers and floral art. Then I found one on honing your photography style and another on abnormal psychology that will pair nicely with the art therapy class. One day, if I enjoy it, I might get … Continue reading Classes I’m Taking
Wet Day
I am inside today, not exactly enjoying the weather. The snow flurries have been lovely, but nothing is sticking, so it's really just a wet, cold day. I am not well today. It's been a long week. I just wanted to share some abstract photos of light that I took this afternoon! I love light … Continue reading Wet Day
Old Flat Lays
I really want to get back into taking pretty flat lay still lifes. Taking photos of photos is fun to me! I need to find some pretty materials to put around the photos though. Stickers, sequins, feathers, rhinestones, thread etc. I have a ton of photos to choose from, but I don't think I have … Continue reading Old Flat Lays
