It’s always fun to celebrate birthdays and what better way to celebrate a birthday is with cupcakes! This journal entry highlights not one but two birthdays we participated in last year. First up, my niece Samantha turned lucky thirteen last November and celebrated her special day in a unique way. Instead of asking for gifts…

Flashback Friday: Nov. 2nd, 2014 #art #ink #mixedmedia #dnartcorner
Hello readers! Thanks for continuing to follow me and my antics over the past year. Historically, I am terrible at posting my entries regularly, but I feel for now that I am on the right track in posting ‘almost’ weekly. At least I am not waiting several months between posts like I was 🙂 Anywho…
Flashback Friday: August 17, 2014
Greetings readers! I almost totally forgot to post my journal entries today! Well, the day is not over and we have plenty of sunshine left to the evening. For this post, I have two journal entries to share that happened around this time last year in August. First up is my little drawing of our…
FlashBack Friday Kick-off Week! August 11, 2014
So this week comes to a close not with a bang, but on a sad note. During this time last year we were all sadden by the news of the death of Robin Williams. I try not to focus on what brought him to his end, but rather all the wonderful things he left us….
Flashback Friday Kickoff Week!: August 2-3, 2014
Welcome to the third day of my Flashback Friday Kickoff Week! Ahh…this was a wonderful memory! Running for chocolate! My niece and I participated in a 5K Chocolate run that was held in Chicago. I remember the day was warm but had a beautiful cool breeze that swept off the lakefront. The route was nicely laid…
Flashback Friday Kick-off Week!: July 28-30th
Welcome back to my Flashback Friday Kick-off Week! Now we are starting to get into the heart of my journal with the very start of my year – my birthday!

Flashback Friday Kick-off Week!
Hello followers and any new readers, Welcome to ‘Flashback Friday Kickoff Week”! This is the first entry from my year-long art journal I have been working on that chronicles my life over the past year. I am finally back after a long hiatus from the blogging world. While I have not been blogging, I have been…
Still Here
I find it ironic that every couple of months I fall off the face of the planet only come back to apologize and vow never do it again. LOL Life is never that simple. I realize this is one of my longest breaks ever since starting this blog and I feel bad that I have not…
Black Hills Majesty, Part 1
It’s been over 2 months since my trip to South Dakota in May and it still feels like yesterday when we were exploring those majestic Black Hills. My husband and I traversed three states and close to 1,000 miles to experience the beauty of South Dakota’s most alluring area. Clean air, fresh pines surrounded our little…
Quick Update and a promise…
Okay readers. Enough is enough. I need to stop knitting and start creating more art! I know I am tough on myself, and I logically know I have been truly up to my ears in knitting projects since April. I just haven’t made my other passion important enough. If you are curious about what I have…
Be the Change…
WARNING: Shameless plug for support ahead… Have you ever loved someone so much that your heart hurts to see them suffer? Have you ever believed in a cause so strong that you would do almost anything to support it? Then you are like me; someone who would stop at nothing to end the pain their…
Day Forty One, Creation Forty One
One more day to go and I will be finished at last with my One Zentangle a Day challenge! Today’s task asked to incorporate traditional folk symbols and use them as tangles.  I gave this challenge a lot of thought and research (hence the delay in posting this challenge) and decided that I would honor my Native…
