I spent part of the weekend locked in the studio being creative.  And I find myself here again tonight. It has been the most soul satisfying fun I've had in a long time. I feel reassured that I AM an artist, and person who was born to be creative. 
Unfortunately I I don't nurture that side of myself enough these days; when time, money and inspiration seem to run short.
Starting right now I vow to change that. No matter how stressed I am, or how busy I'm  feeling I will make time to nurture my artistic side.  And I will be a happier, better, more peaceful person for it.


Thanks for listening. I'm off to create!

 You know how I love photographing the moon! Here is one of my most recent shots. Its been very rainy her in B-more lately, so I was happy to snap this photo at my parents house in PA a few days ago. I cant wait to get some moon shots from Ireland!

As promised ages ago, here are some shots of my Paris travel journal. I've finally added some photos I got developed after the trip, and I still intend on going back and embellishing some of the pages.
 I used on old blank ledger book I found at an antique shop as my journal. It was in perfect condition, and still had strong binding, so I thought it would be perfect to handle all of the things I add to my journals. And, I knew it would withstand the test of time. I cant wait to read over my journal over the years!

Last night, I spent some time working on a collage. I feel like I have a good foundation, but im ready to add some pazazz! I'll keep you posted. One things for sure- it felt great to be creative!

And of course I had a photo shoot with the moon again. He's so great at his poses :)

I spent the evening making drawer labels for my studio. They were so much fun, and way more attractive then the print out labels you get from a label maker :)
