One Year Anniversary Post & a Give-Away ...


Today marks my One Year Blog Anniversary ~ 
It has been a wonderful year of meeting new artists, painters, photographers and crafters.

I have made many new friends on this journey ...

I have received many compliments on the above photo,
so I thought I would have a fun give-away. This is to show my appreciation for all your support of my photography and writing over the past year.

I am giving away the above photograph
(my original photo, accented in Photoshop) as a 5x7 print. 
Please leave me some comments of "love" and I will be picking a winner on Wednesday, November 30th. 

This is my first give-away and I am so excited about it ~ 
Hoping to hear from many of you!

    One year--I'm impressed. Just starting the third month myself. What I've discovered I love about this blog journey are the connections to other artists and creative spirits I wouldn't have met otherwise. I'm lovin' the cyber art community!

    What a beautiful accomplishment ... The first year ... of many!

    I love the print. I takes me back to the those magical days of wonder and possibility that happened when a new box opened, and 64 crayons peaked out into the world.

    Thanks so much for the inspiration.

    Hi Kristine,
    Oh my, I just saw this post over on FB! Glad I caught it to join in! Yes, this picture caught my eye, too! It is beautifully expressed.

    I enjoy your blog for many reasons and one different one is that I love the font that you use. Anytime I see someone go outside the box, I get excited! (Well, except for the picture where the crayons stayed in the box but the whole box is different!!!) ;)

    Congrats on your one year...it is so nice to have met you on FB...here's to many more...

    Peace,
    Karen

    Hi Kristine,

    It's nice to reconnect after so many years. Congrats on your year anniversary, you have a lot to be proud of.

    I love the painting. It is so somple yet intriguing. Reminiscent of art classes back at Jeanne d'Arc, but better :-)

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
