Day of World Kindness

Good evening,

I spent the morning cleaning up and updating inventory... I then got to play with my new Cricut Maker.  Well, first...it is fast!  I love that.  Second, I am going to make a quilt, probably not this year, but I am definitely making a quilt.

The afternoon went by so fast, that I almost missed World Kindness Day.  Wow!!! How would that look, I am living Love and Kindness this year, and I miss World Kindness Day?  Well, here is the card that I put together for today.  



I am wishing all of you Love and Kindness in your lives.  I am seeing joy bubbling up from the tip of your toes to the top of your head, and it bubbles over so much that all you have left is Love and Kindness to share.  

Each one love one...let's make this a better world.  I promise to update sooner with some updated projects.  I found some new challenges to add.  So I must get back on schedule.

The good news... I am back...just like Lucious Lions from Empire! 😜

Until next time.

Is it Tuesday already?

The weekend just ended...or at least I thought it did.  Its already on the end side of the day on Tuesday!  Where does the time go?  It seems to go faster and faster these days.

Well, I finished the pillows/cushions for my Mom and delivered part on Thursday and the rest putting in the mail today.  I made one house from my Christmas Village, but have not decorated it yet.


I think they are going to be really cute.  My new train set came in today, I am going to put it together to make sure I like it.  This Christmas village has me very excited.  My BFF asked where I was on my Christmas cards and I looked at her like a deer caught in headlights!!!  I haven't even started yet.   I need to focus!!!  I think I will finish my studio, do my base of houses and decide on a design for my Christmas cards this week.  I have Wednesday and Thursday to get these three things done....pray for me!😜

Here are some of my recent coloring's to share:

#AIStamps Art Impressions with some copic coloring.
#AIStamps Art Impressions with copic coloring and white gel pen writing

#MOSDigitial - Mo's Digital with copic coloring.  I am so in love with her!

Until next time, hopefully when I have more finished!  (fingers crossed)

Trying to Create in Chaos...how do you do it?

Well... I am asking, how do you do it?

I am in chaos.... by chaos I mean...I am surrounded by the end of Irma disruption with the last two boxes to unpack and three bags of samples to put back in the viewing cabinet (that I know have been damaged with the back and forth), sizzix dies (for the Christmas village...attempting for the first time), cushions (sewing cushions for my Mom's bench seating (also first time) and attempting a little coloring therapy.

Coloring has always centered me and when I add meditation to the mix I can conquer the world!!!  I started Affirmation Tuesday as a way to share this amazing clarity with spirit that you get when going into mediation from a creative source.  It produces pure GRATITUDE, it really does.

I say all of this only to share the end product.  I have two different hair styles.  I posted my favorite on Instagram.  This is another cutie from Nay's World. https://www.encysted.com/shop/NaysWorld/; copic coloring, embossing pen and embossing powder.

October Catch Up! Post One

I am trying to catch up the last 30-60 days.  I have helped my Mom move into her new home, I have survived Irma, I am living with Hurricane aftermath and I am married to the most amazing man in the  world.

We are having a a crazy time...everytime I think I will update this blog, something else takes my attention.  I am just about putting everything back that Irma made me move.  Either I an getting older or I have more stuff!  It may be a cinbination of the two, but I do know it is taking  me longer than I thought it would.

So I am going to update you gradually over the next couple of posts of my 30 day coloring challenge pieces.  Buckle up and get ready for a bumpy ride!😜

30 Day Coloring Challenge and Affirmation Tuesday

Hello, my blog universe....

Today is the first day of Kathy Racoosin 30 day coloring challenge.  I absolutely love this time as it forces me to color every day.  I try to color every day, but sometimes life gets in the way.  This challenge will make me post on my blog on a regular basis, which since I am on the road to recovery, I need to get my rhythm back.  So here is my first-day submission





As for Affirmation Tuesday....it has moved to its new location www.AffirmationTuesday.blogspot.com. 

Thank you for following me.

I am back....not 100% in my healing just yet, but I know that I am on the side of whole and complete health.  I never stop creating, it was my only form of comfort.  So, whenever I could I would continue   coloring, water coloring, DIY projects, of course, making cards and stamping.

I will begin affirmation Tuesdays again, but only when I know that I am having more good days than bad days and can commit to posting every Tuesday.

What I will begin sharing with you are my creations and projects that I am working on for this art journey of mine.

I saw this cute DIY project while combing through Instagram one day.  It was done by #popfizzpaper for #tombow.  I used #tombowextremetabs to hold my layers together.  I put them on and let them cure for 24 hours and now I can pick up from the bowl and the entire #orgtwirlstand (my name for this)  as I will be making different ones for different places in my home, it was so easy to make and you can do so many things with it.  I too went to the dollar store and then I shopped in my craft room and had all of it, but the bottom glitter platter.  Which makes this such a great project of repurposing and using old items in a whole new way.  Thanks so much #popfizzpaper for showing this.  I didn't have to paint because what I had match my room already.  The ones for the house will need to be painted and I can't wait to do those!  Let me know what you think about my project.

Happy January 17th!!!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Each Tuesday I will provide a free coloring page and an affirmation that you can use to focus on while you are coloring. I have found that coloring lowers my heart rate and puts me in a state of quiet. Doing this, I am more receptive to Spirit so I use this time to say my affirmations over and over until they become a part of my consciousness.

I LOVE this affirmation!!!! It is such a great reminder as we go through our own internal wars that there are words to remind us of our inner strength.  I received a note today from my baby brother reminding me how strong I was and that I should see HOPE in every fiber of my being.  Well My Inner Strength is greater than any outer appearances!  I must say I am standing strong and I have HOPE, JOY and LOVE written all over me!  Here’s to your inner strength!
Here is your affirmation for the week from the Daily Word:

My inner strength is greater than any outer appearances.

I am connected within to the spirit of God. Wherever I go, whatever I do, I am divinely uplifted.

I may look back on my life and find times when I felt insignificant or lacking confidence. Still, I take to heart the energy available to all things, even something as simple as water. Once harnessed and directed, water becomes the dynamic force in a steam turbine. Those same molecules, when influenced by cold, become ice with the power to crack concrete and topple trees.

When I discover and harness my power within, I have the potential to make a mighty difference in my life and in the world. I place my attention on Spirit. With faith, I can overcome any circumstance: My inner strength is greater than any outer appearances.

I will put my Spirit within you.—Ezekiel 36:27

Happy Tuesday!!!

Each Tuesday I will provide a free coloring page and an affirmation that you can use to focus on while you are coloring. I have found that coloring lowers my heart rate and puts me in a state of quiet. Doing this, I am more receptive to Spirit so I use this time to say my affirmations over and over until they become a part of my consciousness.

The New Year is upon us… we are trying to set up our new routines or revamp old routines  that have been peppered by resolutions and new goals for 2017.  I am affirming patience and calmness in my life by slowing down the thought process and having patience wth myself and those around me.  Patience has been difficult for me, as I think at warp speed, talk at warp speed and work at warp speed.  I will be more patient with myself and affirm calmness everyday.  How about you?
Here is your affirmation for the week

God’s presence keeps me calm and patient at all times.

How do I react to delays that keep me from accomplishing my goals? Experience tells me that getting irritated or impatient will not change the circumstances. A slow line will not move quicker by frowning. Traffic does not clear because I show frustration. What I can do, however, is visualize right outcomes for myself and others.

If I am delayed, I use that time to center my thoughts and to give thanks for God’s presence within. I practice slow, easy breathing while affirming: I am peaceful. I am calm.

Being patient today is an investment in peace for tomorrow. I refrain from being reactionary and saying or doing something I may regret later. As I hold thoughts of peace for others, I benefit from being patient and calm.

As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.—Psalm 42:1

This Year's Intention

Happy Tuesday!!!

Each Tuesday I will provide a free coloring page and an affirmation that you can use to focus on while you are coloring. I have found that coloring lowers my heart rate and puts me in a state of quiet. Doing this, I am more receptive to Spirit so I use this time to say my affirmations over and over until they become a part of my consciousness.

The holiday season is winding down and we are getting back to our routines.  I have learned over the years that I find comfort in my routine.  I am not a resolution type of girl, but I always clear what needs to eliminated from my life and I set my years intentions, like Health, huge for me this year!  I have set my year’s intentions with my MasterMind Group and am ready, and really  excited to see me and my life transform through affirmations and positive prayer.   The affirmation below will help with your goals and set intentions.  Also hold something that will change our world.  My Husband and I are making sure everything we say or do comes from a place of love and kindness.  I also hold world peace.

God be with you.

Here is your daily word, use this in your affirmative prayer and you can use this affirmation all year.

Intentions


When you walk, your step will not be hampered; and if you run, you will not stumble.—Proverbs 4:12

Divine nature allows us to fulfill our goals and intentions.

Typically the new year is a time to consider the goals we will attempt throughout the next 12 months. So we ask ourselves, What are my intentions? What do I hope to accomplish? Do I have time and energy to see these into fruition?

Whichever goals we decide upon, we can pursue them systematically. Any journey begins with a plan or a map, so we should consider the steps we need to take to move forward purposefully. If a roadblock should appear, we can regroup and refocus, then navigate around it or adjust our course as necessary.

The more we understand God’s presence in the goals-fulfillment process and how our divine nature allows us to be our best, the stronger our resolve and success rate will be.
