Kindness Matters

Good Morning Blog Friends....

Hope that this day finds you all doing well.

Here in the studio, things are cranking along - at quite a high speed, it seems.  Some days I find it hard to keep up, but I keep plugging along here.

I wanted to share this video from my Youtube channel, and hope that you will have a peek.

I truly enjoy playing in my art journal.  Just a way to enjoy experimenting with my supplies.  I find that I simply love the process.

Enjoy the video!!

Questions or comments - just ask!

What a Month!!!

Happy 2018 Blogfriends!!!
I hope that each of you had a wonderful holiday season!!!  I enjoyed every single snippet of time off with my family, friends, and of course, no break from school would be complete without studio time!
My holiday officially began with my crazy college kid safely landing back in North Carolina!

It is always such a relief to have him home and for our family of four to be all be under the same roof.

I celebrated my birthday on Christmas Eve...Every year, I try to remember to get a screen shot of the exact time and day....nailed it this year!!!

Every single time I sell artwork, it makes me extremely happy!!  The thought that someone out there likes something that I create brings me such joy.  This one, Fire and Ice, heads to its new home in Seattle, and I am so thankful that out of all the artists in the world, Kate wanted one of my pieces.

Years ago, I set a goal that I wanted to start a YouTube channel...years and years ago!!  This year, I gave myself a deadline of January 1!  A few days ago, I uploaded my very first video!!!  Fingers crossed, my second video - One Little Word - will be up today!!!  I have a brand new respect for YouTubers out there as it is far more difficult than they make it seem!!!

Speaking of One Little Word, I decided that this year, my word would be TRUE.

True to my artwork, my style of creating, and to myself.  True in everything this year.  Do you choose a word to guide you for the year?  What is your One Little Word??

I have lots of ways of filling my creative well, and one of them is spending time with my art friends.  Jodi Ohl and I have been friends for many years.  We usually try to catch up a couple of times a year, and whenever we do, I leave so very inspired and with loads of new ideas!!

I hope that you have the most amazing day, and a happy, healthy, joyful and creative 2018!!

Until next time,

Ophelia
