A special shout out and thanks to those of you who listened to my interview with Dennis Graham on KSGVRadio.com on January 29th, 2010! Thanks Dennis!!

This is my first blog ever, and I’m so excited to bring to you lots of creativity and fun on my ART-ground! If you haven’t already done so, take a look at my 2009 Ornament Catalog displaying customer favorites including my own favorites of my artwork that was done last year! It was an amazing year in which I expanded my horizons by painting glass HALLOWEEN ornaments! The response was overwhelming and I had so much fun creating these small masterpieces!! The good thing is, I don’t have to wait till next Halloween to paint them again. I can paint them all year round!

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday of the year. Every year for the past (gosh, I don’t know how long–since I was a kid!), I have painted ornaments to fit my Christmas tree and to give as gifts. I especially find great pleasure in coming up with new and fresh ideas. This last year I decided to paint Nightmare Before Christmas-Jack Skellington and Sally. All of my work is done freehand and no one piece is alike. The paints I use are specifically made for that surface. All my glass ornaments are painted with a highly pigmented paint that is lead free!

Easter and Spring ornaments are next in line! I found some cute Candle holders and trinket boxes to paint and will post them as I do them!

Cool projects are on the back burner. I have some special ideas that I’m still thinking about–perhaps some special artists can share their work or tips, tricks, techniques, in starting your own projects…..including some fun in papercrafting or scrapbooking.

Once a week I’d like to bring to you a special health tip and a magical quote to help keep us in balance in staying healthy and keeping that mind clear of clutter so we can have more room to be creative!! Maybe some organizational tips in life or fitness how to’s can be part of our fun…anything to keep those creative juices flowing so we can have fun and play on our ART-ground!!

Thanks for visiting and feel free to leave me a comment!!
