Went to the final night of the “Go Wild” exhibit at the Scout Gallery on Mitchell Street (Milwaukee) the other night, and it was a blast. So fun talking to other artists and seeing the wide variety of takes on the concept of animals in art. My painting “Black Bird With Roses” was featured as […]
Christmas Cards Are IN
I’m so excited because I finally got my Christmas cards in! Yay. I love sending cards in general (hello card ministry!) but I also like doing it at Christmas because it (can) add a personal touch to the way we let people know we are thinking of them. I think Christmas cards can sometimes be […]
Oh Yes You Are
Behold, you are beautiful, my love.
New Doggie Totes Are Here!
New doggie totes bags are here! I’ve been painting a lot of little doggies for the Little Show and made just a couple of them into tote bags. I just got them in and they are so cute. I had to share. Of course, as we know, my own little doggie is always the inspiration […]

I find the sounds of rain really comforting and motivating. But sometimes, my dog looks up at me like, “Are you seriously […]
Trust in the Lord With All Your Heart
I came across this post from the Putting on the New archives from about five years ago, and thought you would find this perspective on moving helpful. A lot of people I know right now are in the process of moving. Some have just moved, a couple had their place on the market for a […]
Recomendation
A little flashback here that popped up in my inbox. A recomendation from Amazon. I just never get tired of that. LOL
Your Tears Are In My Heart
We went to see the China Lights event the other night, and once again, I was so inspired. I saw this light display a couple years ago but this go-round it was completely different. I was really impressed with the fact that they could keep it new and fresh in this way. I went with […]
