Plumbing, Electrical and Insulation…Oh MY!
Construction up-date..........we see the fruits of the laborers and are excited at each phase! Electrical and plumbing is in and just the sight of my future tub makes me excited! It sure beats this! (and yes I did decorate it!) Insulation made us feel just how big it...
Take the Road Less Traveled
I often say....Take the Road Less Traveled. Sunday I did just that with a friend and I have to say this may go down as one of the most special hikes with her. We are so lucky to have so many trails around us but there are always limits like time that give me excuses...
Ramona Ranch Winery – Last Class of the 2014!

San Pasqual Winery – Wine Glass Painting Class!
I had my last two classes of the year in the last weeks and after some final adjustments between classes I had a small class and an over-filled class. I was most thankful for the class I had at San Pasqual Winery as it allowed me to just sit and paint. We started...

Merry Christmas from our home to yours!
Every year I fret over the perfect picture for the Christmas card but this year was easy...the union of two families is our theme. So from our home (well homes but we are working on that) to yours...... 2014 has been one heck of year that was fun, took work,...

Mixed Media Monday 12/15/14 – Create, Inspire, He(ART)
I was so happy to be back Monday for Mixed Media Monday. I needed that creative break and pause from life, construction and everything I am juggling on the homefront. Some time with my peeps was just what the doctor ordered. As promised I revealed my Totally Tracy...

Traveling to Hawaii a few weeks ago I have to say I felt uninspired. I was just tired. Things have been busy. I was excited for the trip but needed the down time. My art journal accompanied us and on the way there this was all I could muster up which is so unlike...
