Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

Thoughts in My Head



I have a ton of stuff to do today to get ready for flying out to the East Coast tomorrow.  I'm going to let you in on random thoughts rolling around in my 'haid' this morning. Ready?

I'm sick. I have decorating ADD. I wish I could just finish a room in our house and be happy, but I am constantly thinking of ways to change things and I have a million different ideas for one room. It's actually kind of annoying. I'd love to have our home "complete" and not think about changing it all the time. Maybe it's because we are in a temporary (2-3 years) living situation and I don't feel like I can make anything permanent? Oooh, I don't know. Do you struggle with this problem? 



Books. I'm headed out to Borders today to buy a great, fabulous book for my travel. I asked this on Facebook and got a great list from my friends but I thought I'd put the same question out here. Lay it on me, what's your favorite recent read? I need something engaging that I can get lost in during my 20 hour travel day. (I'm thinking I'm going to buy the Hunger Games. Have you read this series?)



Art. I'm getting closer to opening my Etsy shop, guys. Since I'm going away for several weeks, I wasn't able to open it up this week, but look for some news coming around the first week of September. And get your Paypal accounts ready--I'll be super sad if I don't make any sales! ;)



Laundry. I always do this before a trip. I do all my laundry days ahead of time. Then I wear my favorite underwear that week and end up having to do another load of laundry right before I leave. You'd think I'd learn and either just do the laundry the day before I leave, or go commando all week. Just kidding!!! I'd NEVER do that! ;)



Ok, amigos. Let's see if I can knock out my to-do list today. Ready, set, go!
