</div><div style="text-align: center;">I planned on getting this out earlier today, but you know how that goes. Clean-up duty from the boys on Spring Break, sales orders that need to be photographed and sent out, online marketing and a run.</div><div style="text-align: center;">BAM! There goes the day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So during the run, I kept thinking that it would be great to see what other people are making in their wonderful lives. I am always sharing what I do over here and I would like to see all your stuff too. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Call it motivation, call it showing off; either way, </div><div style="text-align: center;">LET ME SEE IT.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe it's a wonderful dinner, maybe it's a necklace.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe it's something to decorate your house</div><div style="text-align: center;">Whatever it is, add your name to the McLinky and share whatcha got.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I then colored it in with Prismacolor art markers, cut them out and place them into a mixed media scene.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have had a lot of fun creating these scenes so far and think I will continue this series for awhile.

They are Mom and Me, two hour long art classes where both parent and child work on creating an artwork together. For this particular class, we created a mixed media artwork on a 12 x 12 canvas. Just the fact that the kids worked on canvas was a huge treat for them. They got to play with paint, fabric, oil pastels, paper, glue, beads, rhinestones, and other small treasures. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</center><center style="text-align: center;">It is a site where artist and crafters can post something they are willing to trade and people can respond if they want to participate. The trade is open for a specified amount of time. </center><center style="text-align: center;"><br />
</center><center style="text-align: center;">It will be a running list of people willing to Trade items.</center><center style="text-align: center;">So, say I need a gift for a friend's birthday next month. I go on the <a href="http://www.artisttradenetwork.wordpress.com/">Trade Network</a>, look for something she might like, and make a trade with something that I make in exchange.</center><center style="text-align: center;"><br />
</center><center style="text-align: center;">Pretty Easy.</center><center style="text-align: center;"><br />
</center><center style="text-align: center;">I invite you to go over and check out the site. You will also find a page for quarterly swap exchanges, art/crafter listings and advertising opportunities.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">well, I simply open the door and greet it with a big fat hug!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The opportunities have been great lately, things are going well. I have been selling these custom shoes and they have been a blast to make. These latest ones were for a customer who likes Widespread Panic. They were so much fun, I think I want a pair!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMiGYNLxtdF6hcpRy-2L-TU89GZV_nGpsesCl8hV9fDqUkUf4l1cNFQ-s1RmDjhvP0s9Q6cdAI_E0iQs-CpQLl5aVoxC-Ilm0cL9fScAcdyjstPtl5WX5n7d87KpzlBIiOvo_tqHdAfI/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMiGYNLxtdF6hcpRy-2L-TU89GZV_nGpsesCl8hV9fDqUkUf4l1cNFQ-s1RmDjhvP0s9Q6cdAI_E0iQs-CpQLl5aVoxC-Ilm0cL9fScAcdyjstPtl5WX5n7d87KpzlBIiOvo_tqHdAfI/s320/photo.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also, I have a friend who is a realtor and she has commissioned me to do an Art Frame for her clients.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So every time she sells a house, they get one of these.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZtH_hjxdhNmpdPc7Vm4I1DDXHB-jSyS-tlSdco8gYXq7kBtt-iypkY6nOma-Ls73r1QZJMqfyXCRKCCLuC_SfgryKzJfkz7MLyGq2an8lwxDVk4z46XyHnmgy1wPvhZ5LgpMyjEHsz9I/s1600/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZtH_hjxdhNmpdPc7Vm4I1DDXHB-jSyS-tlSdco8gYXq7kBtt-iypkY6nOma-Ls73r1QZJMqfyXCRKCCLuC_SfgryKzJfkz7MLyGq2an8lwxDVk4z46XyHnmgy1wPvhZ5LgpMyjEHsz9I/s320/photo.jpg" width="263" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let's pray she sells LOTS of houses this year!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Lastly, a few weeks ago I was reading a Somerset magazine and they had a call for artists. One of the themes is classic books. One of my favorite of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird. I haven't read it in awhile but I knew it would bring lots of inspiration. So that's it, that has encompassed my January. Rereading AND artwork among motherhood and wifehood. But, it has been worth the exploration. On my list of <i>40 before 40</i> is publication. Let's keep our fingers crossed. I'll share the finished product in a post soon, I still have a few final touches.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

That's me. I like to do it, I just know wish I had done it starting last month like I wanted to. But with the holidays, you know how it is...it's just gets plain crazy. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So I have a few ideas</div><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">1) First: I traded a custom picture frame </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-wPEc0c9Fl-pJNHMtDeG7MRotfs4JAsD50U_KBQIIGpN3xAttWnv-0-CQ2_fe549qIT3V-PE4ER7lC5PTpbtLysxiyrlmp7lVX_bQDVN5XCbYiP45KDu1gVLCv3h8ijXnNXyCTiMW-AE/s1600/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-wPEc0c9Fl-pJNHMtDeG7MRotfs4JAsD50U_KBQIIGpN3xAttWnv-0-CQ2_fe549qIT3V-PE4ER7lC5PTpbtLysxiyrlmp7lVX_bQDVN5XCbYiP45KDu1gVLCv3h8ijXnNXyCTiMW-AE/s320/photo.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br />
for some of <a href="http://www.TheSweetestThingCookies.com/">The Sweetest Thing'</a>s cookies<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyieua_HQINgB7H4eiyCc11E4hvmqAKvxoa_NuOe4_MRPhfaWPjXRyusTTqnb3H4Tjt3VFzNlDeJyD0VZzVkkXIiSdNa7WpwE7s0b83VyzD3pJM653zEtvYn85eDgwkU2ZeU1w5VCGkzU/s1600/174640_122713167748342_3765005_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyieua_HQINgB7H4eiyCc11E4hvmqAKvxoa_NuOe4_MRPhfaWPjXRyusTTqnb3H4Tjt3VFzNlDeJyD0VZzVkkXIiSdNa7WpwE7s0b83VyzD3pJM653zEtvYn85eDgwkU2ZeU1w5VCGkzU/s1600/174640_122713167748342_3765005_n.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not these cookies..I don't have them yet. They are going to arrive fresh for his birthday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He decided to go with the Star Wars theme (big surprise, right?)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Some little lightsaber cookies would be very cool.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2. Yeah, that's all I have so far. But it is one of my top priorities right now so I'll let you all know how the process is coming along. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the meantime, if you are in need of any cookies, you should visit <a href="http://www.thesweetestthingcookies.com/">The Sweetest Thing</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And you can see all the fun thing she's working on at her <a href="http://thesweetestthingcookies.blogspot.com/">blog</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Maybe something sweet for your Valentine?</div><br />

I have a very special request. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have a new design for my business cards and want to get them printed up. I am willing to trade for my artwork. So if you know anyone who prints business cards and is in need of some great art or art picture frames. Send them over to my website to contact me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.creativeflairartdesigns.com/">Creative Flair Art Designs</a></div><br />

I'm having a lazy Sunday around here. We just got back from Chicago and we were busy, busy, busy. The hustle and bustle of the big city (in freezing conditions) can wear a person out. <br />
<br />
So today is a day dedicated to laundry and making these great little magazine trees that Martha had on her site. <br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Aren't they beautiful? And they look pretty easy to make. A little time consuming but easy.

</center><center>Oh no.</center><center><br />
</center><center>I have to admit, it's not my most favorite thing to do. But I do enjoy seeing pictures and hearing about what is new with family and friends. </center><center><br />
</center><center>I have gone back in forth in conversations about the need for Christmas cards in today's social networking scene. You know the one, where a friend tries to convince you that you see enough of people on Facebook so you don't need to see them again in Christmas outfits. But the truth is, it's TRADITION. And traditions are nice. Time- consuming, but nice.</center><center><br />
</center><center>And not all my friends and family are connected via e-mail and social networks. There are those few that still work the snail mail. And I like that. </center><center><br />
</center><center>I like knowing that someone or family sat down and took the time to send a little note. Is that really so bad once a year. </center><center>Crazy as I am, I still like the written thank you card too. </center><center><br />
</center><center>So here to save the day is Shutterfly. I have been ordering from Shutterfly for the last 3 years. They have a great selection of any kind of card or photo gift you can imagine. </center><center><br />
</center><center>Here is one I am thinking about. I like having multiple pictures because my boys don't sit still long enough for one good picture.</center><center><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I totally goofed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's not my fault really. I slept in until 9:00am! My kids actually were quiet long enough for me to sleep until 9.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">OK. I had earplugs in. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, sleeping in until 9 really messed me up and I was not thinking correctly when I entered the past post for the contest.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">OK. It is my fault.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But, I've had some coffee now and I am posting the past blog right here on this very page.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So nothing wrong can happen.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It is titled, "My Sweet Boy"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Unfortunately, I have the worst headache today from this head cold. I tried to make the best of it and he was very sweet to understand. <br />
<br />
As we ran our errands this morning, and stopping for some of his favorite hot chocolate, I began telling him about when he was younger ( only 4 short years ago) when he would chat away and of all the words he mispronounced through his toddler vocabulary. We laughed about it and it made me think of all the little things he does now that one day I will look back on and will make me smile. So I have thought of a quick little list of the five that always make me smile.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhndIwFyIONgquYJwyiJL6zeaqBDUj6E-jzoVzOToT1me-CtmDKi-YCP6F0bnbIvl54XmC0HDbuvUWGuNjUbBbbCy867MQBICF8GV4IsPAxLtktE_dBYQByxO21OlHXtFBUZmq2NfL9jqE/s1600/freakdancing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhndIwFyIONgquYJwyiJL6zeaqBDUj6E-jzoVzOToT1me-CtmDKi-YCP6F0bnbIvl54XmC0HDbuvUWGuNjUbBbbCy867MQBICF8GV4IsPAxLtktE_dBYQByxO21OlHXtFBUZmq2NfL9jqE/s200/freakdancing.jpg" width="173" /></a></div>1- The way he will all of a sudden start freak dancing (ANYWHERE) and yell out "<i>Break It Down</i>".<br />
<br />
2- In all seriousness, refers to his little brother as <i>Little Rat. </i>I really do think he means it as an affectionate term. He will say, " You want to go play outside, come on you little rat".<br />
<br />
3- Every one of the many dimples around his mouth when he really smiles.<br />
<br />
4- How he ALWAYS has a song in his head and is forever singing. We will sing the same song over and over again until someone tells him to stop. Then he'll change all the lyrics by changing the vowels in the words.<br />
<br />

I can still see him rubbing the Pooh bear around in circles on his cheek like when he was 9 months old. <br />
<br />
Love you little man!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I started with the idea of using pages from books for the background. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Words filled with commitment, love, marriage.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Combine it with a symbolic O'Keefe style flower.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">And mix it with fabric, paper and paint. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And there you go. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Vows. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Unfortunately, this wonderful little gadget still has the Apple price tag.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, if any of you feel like contributing to my Apple computer fund, simply visit my shop and purchase any beautiful artwork you simply can not live without. ;) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
