Funky Art Queen

Hey, I'm having an ETSY sale. I have significantly reduced the prices on some of my items and I have placed two new items up for sale today. Yes, my dear friend Renea inspired me to try and sell things again. I had a long dry spell....so go have a looksie when you get a chance. I listed these two new ACEO's. Here is a link to MY ETSY SHOP.

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.

I'm so proud of my BFF Renea! She is a blogging sister after a very short time. She has received awards, sold art, and made tons of new friends. If you have not already gone to her site to see her, please go and check her out today at this link Pocket Full of Prettys . Even Einstein thinks she is cool!

Hey, I have been making all kinds of ATC's for my workshop this weekend. I decided I would really enjoy trading some of them. Afterall, that is what it is all about. So, here they are in all their glory. The first three responders who say TRADE in their comment....will get one of these three cards. I would also like to hear if anyone has a collection of ATC's and how they keep them. Do you keep them in a box? Did you make a box to store them in? Do you keep them in a trading card notebook in those plastic sheets? What do you do with the ones that have some kind of embellishment that keep them from fitting in the plastic sheets. What else can you tell me about your experiences with ATC's that might help me with my workshop this weekend? Thanks for participating.

Here is my husband....good sport as always...modeling my new apron that I made for the mixed media workshop next weekend. Let me know what you think. I think it needs something else....maybe something on the actual pockets? Anyway, bravo to my husband! Renea from Pocket Full of Pretty's tagged me! I don't think I have been tagged in the 3 years I have had this blog. Apparently, it is the MEME tag game in blog world. Since Renea always says I'm all about Me Me Me....then this is right up my alley! Rules: 1. Link to the person that tagged you. 2. Post the rules on your blog. 3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. 4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs. 5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website. I read a lot of self help-motivational-positive type books. They just really inspire me and help me keep the saw sharp as they say. I can't stand the feeling of kleeni...

A friend of mine recommended this book and I am so glad she did. I am only half way through and I am totally moved and inspired by the ideas. The secret is nothing new....no new idea really. It is all about how powerful the mind is and how we create our own reality by our thoughts. The Secret is based on biblical principles but I would not say it is a heavily religious book. The author refers to the 'Law of Attraction' a lot in the book. I highly recommend this book! It is awsome. I have started my apron too as Renea discusses at Pocket Full of Prettys . I can't wait to see Reneas apron because I know it is going to be cute. We just wanted to wear something that would add to the element of fun to this workshop I am doing next weekend. By the way, I believe at least 10 women will attend. I have prayed specifically for at least 10 people and I believe that they will be there. I learned this in the book. You have to 1) ask the universe (for me it is God) the thing you desire ...

Ok, I'm officially in a manic state! I think I am feeling the hints of spring. It has been getting sunny and warmer around here. Things are starting to feel a little pre-spring. I know myself....after 43 years of life (I should hope so-heehee) and I know that this is by far my most happiest time of the year for me now and historically. I just get this happy feeling.....I get to be outside more and feel the sun on my face a little (with SPF of 15 or greater of course). I am thinking about getting my yearly pedicure (heehee) don't you feel sorry for that nail tech? But, I got to get my feet ready for sandal weather soon! I'm just excited about life. So many things are happening! My job is going great, my kids are doing great, husband is looking really great because he started working out.....my creativity is flowing......things are good. Thank you Lord! I have scheduled a mixed media class for March 1st at the Hobby Lobby in Midland and I am preparing for that. I'm very...
