STRETCHING THOSE ARTISTIC WINGS...................


 
I think one of the nicest things about having a blog is visiting all the other fabulously creative people in our world.  It is not the same as Facebook or Twitter.......it seems there is so much more creativity displayed.

I have indicated before that I really am a beginning artist....in fact I have a hard time calling myself one.....but this year I think I am going to stretch my wings a bit and try to really  become one.


with all the encouragement and inspiration that is given by fellow bloggers one should be able to really evolve in one's chosen medium

I'm not really sure  which avenue I will chose for my expressive self.......although blogging is certainly one of them.............but I'm certain to find the right one if I continue to experiment and stretch those artistic wings!!

Have a wonderful day dear friends ........hello from Kansas!!

Jo

  1. I agree about blogging. And if your picture is any example of you being an artist, you are well on your way my friend:)

  9. Hooray for you and your decision to spread your wings, in creativity.

    I used to do more little bits of such... Just some sewing and art. But haven't in a long time though.

    But who knows? Perhaps? Sometime?

  14. Thank you for stopping by. Keep practicing, you're doing great. I do not think there is any magic formula that needs to happen before declaring oneself to be an artist. I know what you mean though in what you are saying.

  15. Don't be afraid to call yourself an artist, Jo, because that is exactly what you are. Your sketch-book page is a beautiful example of this.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
