Excitement!

I love it when hard work starts to pay off, it is such a great, satisfying feeling! One of my soaps is featured in an Artfire Collection! Woot Woot!

For those of you who have not seen these yet, they are totally super smelling and unique. I have never seen anybody else make them. I use Brambleberry scents (the best I have found!) and I embed a clear quartz crystal in the center.  I you would like to check out the Collection, head on over HERE!
Have a great weekend Y'all! Looks like this weekend will be full of rain for us on the Treasure Coast this weekend. Good thing I love the rain!

Are There Pigs Flying Outside?

Yesterday we made a family trip to Target. (Pronounced in that fancy french type way- Tarjee- if you know what I mean. LOL) Willow needed a new pair of shoes for school so we were on the hunt for pink, flashing shoes. The closest we could find were these shoes with a disco ball type look. Totally groovy. Why doesn't that come in my size? Just saying...
Any who... We are a family that is kind of last minute on everything. I don't know why. We talk about planning things early but it just never really happens. While we were at Target we decided to look at the Halloween section. In the midst of ghosts, goblins and some costumes that were way too skimpy for kids, (don't even get me started on that one!) I had an epiphany- Why don't we get the costumes now. LOL and we did!!!! I find it extremely funny because it is not even October yet and we are already prepared- there must be pigs flying outside!
On another note- I have started to list my super groovy, awesome smelling soaps with a crystal energy core. I have 2 listed and many more on the way. If you would like to check them out just head on over HERE.

Until next time-

Test Pics!

I took some test pictures of my soap today to see if I could get good enough lighting to do it inside. I think I've got it! Need to do a little more stylizing besides that I believe I am on my way! Here are some of the preliminary pics.

Until next time-

I Have Found and Embraced My Passion!

Some people are lucky enough to be born knowing what  their passion is in life, while others need to go searching. I have been a searcher, navigating my way through life desperate to find that "Thing" that makes me feel all warm inside. I never really knew that I liked to create and never really tried until I was in my late 20's. I moved to Florida when I was about 22 and fell into a job teaching children art. Funny way the Universe puts things in your path. I didn't really pay attention to that cue from the Universe. I went through several boyfriends who were very artistic, a painter, musician, a writer. In retrospect I think I sought them out because they had what I wanted- to create. Did I mention that throughout this entire time I was a raging alcoholic and drug addict? I was a functioning one, always held down a job and managed to pay my bills but was a hot mess!!! When I met my husband and became pregnant I got clean and sober. May of this year marked 4 years clean and sober. It was during this time that I did some real searching. I painted, made jewelry, made soap, candles- you name it! I loved all of them and still love all of them, but I kept coming back to making soap and mixed media.

This is my soap with a crystal energy core! I get to combine my love of crystals with making soap! AWESOME!  I use all Brambleberry scents because they totally rock and are super rich smelling! Each soap contains a clear quartz crystal in the center. Clear quartz is considered the mother of all stones containing the full spectrum of energies. I will once again be making these and selling them in my store. I am also making lots of mixed media with bright colors that make you just want to eat a rainbow!!!
I have found my passion and I am on fire baby!
Have you found your passion? How many twists and turns has your road taken?
Until next time-

Girls Morning Out!!!

Today was my girls morning out! Most people have girls night out, I have a morning! I love and cherish my Tuesday mornings. I get together with my girlfriend and we talk about art and we laugh. It is great to get out and get a break from the kids and I always leave totally inspired!
I have been working on this multi-medium canvas and will have to say I am quite pleased so far with all the browns, pinks and golds!
