Spring......


Spring is a time of new beginnings, cleaning out what has laid dead on the ground for months.  It is a good place to be, a time of change and of growth.  I truly had no way of knowing how my mother's death would effect me.  I truly hoped for the best, that with my grand babies here I would be kept from some pain.  That was wishful thinking.  Truth is it has effected me and I am finally feeling the clouds lift, finding my place again....pushing myself out of the ground like flowers in my garden.   Welcome to the front of my house!!

One of the best things I have done for myself this past month is to take this class with Christy and Junelle, The Art of Wild Abandonment.  I learned so much not only about myself but to how to watercolor with Neocolor 2.  I have been wanting to purchase and learn to use them for over a year.  They are creamy and so simple to use...nothing like I thought they would be.  I am so happy that I took the plunge!!  I purchased them online through DickBlick.....the set of 15 and then 16 other colors to fill in where my heart was taking me.  These will always be my go to colors now....again very happy!!

If you get a chance to take this class, do it!  Both these beautiful ladies share their hearts and it is so awesome!!
