CreativeTherapy – Catalyst 17

Bon jour from Paris! (Well, not really! I’m in Paris, but this was composed a week ago in Phoenix!) It’s Sunday again! Time for us to reveal this week’s CreativeTherapy Catalyst! If you haven’t visited the CreativeTherapy blog today, please take a moment to do so! On the right is my response to the catalyst. [...]

Final Preparations for France

I can’t believe it’s almost here! Monday we leave for France! I’ve had a mixture of feelings about this trip – anxiety about being in a strange country and with limited knowledge of the language; excitement at the idea of seeing France; trepidation about the flight, since I don’t know how it will affect my [...]

Catching up – Gifts and Drawings

I’ve been quiet the past few days, but not because of my health. I’ve been focused on sewing and painting for a gift I created for my mother-in-law as a Mother’s Day gift. I’ve had to keep it under wraps, because my MIL reads my blog regularly (*waves to mom*)! It’s to the left. It’s [...]

Every Day in May – #3 & 4

The past two days have been hard for me physically. Yesterday I spent most of the day in bed with fatigue and vertigo. I did draw yesterday – two things, so I’m going to count them as yesterday’s and today’s in case I can’t get drawing done today (but I’ll still try!). Today I’m tired [...]

CreativeTherapy

This week’s catalyst for CreativeTherapy was “The best part of today” I created my entry using the drawings I did while I was with Angie on Saturday. It’s always the best part of the day when I’m with Angie. When I’m not, the best part is the meditative act of drawing. As a result, the [...]

Saturday art

Today has been a great day! I woke up feeling great and excited for the day. For weeks, Angie and I have been planning to join in the International Sketchcrawl and we did it! We finally got to spend some time together and I was able to get out of the house! Today was the [...]

Creative Therapy

I’m a true believer that art can be a great form of therapy. It has always been a safe haven for me. And so, when I was asked to join a design team of creative bloggers who would work on weekly journal prompts I heartily jumped in! I am now a proud member of the [...]

Back from Santa Barbara, More Watercolor Pencils, and more

Dave and I had a lovely time in Santa Barbara. We flew directly to the Santa Barbara Airport from Phoenix. It’s a tiny quaint airport with very little in the way of amenities, but it has that lovely Spanish architecture that we loved. For the first time in a long time, I didn’t need to [...]
