Your Majesty

Hi Creative Ghosts,

How I have missed you all. The first week of school and teaching have been a whirl. New students and projects are underway. Being around all my students I began to go back in time in my mind.

I was dreaming of my favorite things when I was a child. I remember the carnival and my favorite ride was the Carousel. That's what I have been feeling like lately...like I am spinning around and around with so many responsibilities, dreams and goals to fulfill.

I just need to take a deep breath and hop on my fantasy horse I named
"Your Majesty"


I love my fantasy horse. She is a strong and beautiful creature. This beauty will help to relax me today. 

I can sit on her and re-focus all that there is to do, know and be.  

I hope all of you Creative Ghosts will take time during this day to re-focus and ride on the magical Carousel of your own life.

Peace, love and paintbrushes!

Fairy Godmother


Hello my dear Creative Ghosts!  


Today was a wonder-FULL and beauty-FULL  day! 


Taking Kelly Rae's advice, myself and another flier set on meeting this afternoon. 


Turns out I found that I had many things in common with her. She was the voice of 
encouragement and wisdom. 


I am calling her my Fairy Godmother, Rose!  
FG Rose asked me to exclaim the statement: I AM AN ARTIST!


Our conversation lasted for over three hours and ended up at Michaels. (SMILE)


Rose and I shared some of our artwork with each other and here she is with a totem doll she created out of a piece of bark and beads and cloth.






We have committed to a once a month retreat for ourselves and it is just what I needed to begin my community of creative ghosts! 


Anyone interested in joining us? It's about to get fun!!!
