Art Moms & Friends Holiday Boutique

Some of my favorite

work ever.

I have shipped off

to Art Moms & Friends Holiday Boutique

in Sioux Falls, SD.

{For the next 3 holiday shopping weekends}

A year ago . . .

I experimented . . .

making my first mixed media collage.

What a year it has been!

I remember how oddly

scared I felt when

I bought my first art supplies.

Fighting feelings and weird thoughts

like,

who do you think you are?

And showing my art the first time

feeling like a 37 year-old-child

with a

lemonade stand.

{Click "lemonade stand" above & you can read about that}

Every step of this journey

has felt extremely vulnerable.

Yet authentic.

True.

Wholehearted.

And that is just

how

I

want

to

be.

The gloss medium on this one

is not even dry . . .

so it is literally dripping

with

newness.

I was so afraid to use the

beads and glitter.

Afraid it would be too much . . .

But I decided to be

fearless . . .

The wings of His grace

fly me

when

I take

flying leaps

of

faith.

Creating like crazy

for

Sturgis, SD, Chamber Holiday Open House

Friday & Saturday.

And sending more to

Art Moms & Friends Holiday Boutique

in Sioux Falls, SD.

January will be

Artist of the Month at Sturgis Public Library.

And hoping for another BIG event in January.

Hope to make an announcement

if/when I get in . . .

and if not,

there is always

2013.
