Love Illustrations ...

Happy Labor Day, Weekend! 

As I have mentioned - I have been finding some really "Artsy" pictures and illustrations online. I love it when I find something like this ... Love  the simple lines and her "Camera Eye", her red lips and peach blush ... Adorable!

I am trying to find a doll - any type - of a Female Photographer. I know that the American Girl Dolls have a "Photography Kit" for the dolls ... I have also found a Barbie Photographer ... Hoping I find others ...
Does anyone know of dolls for Professions? ... Please let me know, if you have ...

Playing in Yesteryear ...

I took this photo a few Summers ago while visiting Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I was looking through some pictures I took and thought myself - What would this photo look like changed into an "Old Time Photo" ... So here it is. The paper looks a bit crinkled, the off-white sepia tones etc ... If you have not realized, I love an "Old World" feel to many things - So much history, so much meaning etc ... Does it look like it could have been in a newspaper long ago?

Color Me Happy ...

Today is a new day. A day of many new beginnings. I came across this photo online and it immediately made me smile. I am sure it stood out to me because I am a Photographer. It is not everyday you see a camera like this!  What have you come across lately that has made you smile? Something in nature? A card from a friend? A sunrise? I would love to hear from you ...

Kristen Powers - Heart's Desire ...

Ever since I have been reaching out to other photographers, writers and creatives -  I have found so many incredible artists. I have also subscribed to many blogs that I have fallen in love with. This is one of them. This is a piece created by Kristen Powers. I saw this on her blog and asked if I could post it, here. These are the reminders we all need, and having it in such a wonderful piece of art, is a gift in itself ...Thanks, Kristen!

Meet Kate Crane!

I first came across Kate Crane's work on Magically Mixed Art on Facebook. This is her latest piece and I fell in love with it - I did ask her permission to post this and I was so grateful when she agreed. I am looking forward to seeing more of her work. I love her style and whimsy!

Being Beautiful ... On the Inside

Lately, I have been doing research to see what REALLY speaks to me - Sayings, Quotes, Pictures Etc ... I loved this thinking bubble ... "WHAT YOU DO, THE WAY YOU THINK, MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL". These are the things that I think we need to hear, more of.

I hear positive and negative feelings towards getting older - I am glad to be in my early 40s - I am proud to say that I have lived a bit and realize the things that are important. I am pleased that I have held close the people who matter. I feel the unconditional love that you cannot put a price on.

I consider myself lucky for true friends and family. I am grateful for what I have, and where I am heading in my creative life.

Where are you headed?
