Grown Up Colouring : Rhino

Good morning to you! How was your weekend? Mine was insane! I was selling my art and working at a conference for the past 10 days, I am ex-haus-ted (to say the least!).  I'm currently knee deep in coffee and work  -I'm not sure I'm going to make it! lol

I feel like my body is jet lagging and I haven't been on a plane.  I'm trying to finish up my list of things to do- that has been accumulating for the past few days - but I wanted to take a minute to remind you that you are amazing :) Created for a purpose and beautiful.

Happy Monday, take some time today to stop, realize, and accept that you were created with a destiny and purpose... and the fact that you are living on this earth, is evidence enough that You are amazing.

Be inspired. Share. and Love.
Share the love,
M.

Be sure to catch up with me on Facebook and Instagram to see my final piece.

Z is for Zebra Speed Painting Video

Are we connected on Facebook? If not, you can click >>  here << and we can hang out there too. I tend to post a few thing there that don't ever make it to the blog... one of my favourite things to post, are little sneak peeks into how I create my graphics.

This little "Z is for Zebra" Print is up on my Etsy Shop, but I wanted to share how he got created :) 

Hope you enjoy!

Fat Tuesday or Cat Tuesday?

Is today Fat Tuesday? or Cat Tuesday? the cat totally won.

I don't have a cat, but for those of you who do, I know you love them as much if not more than I love my Timothy the Dog. Also I believe If I were an animal, my preferred lifestyle is that of a cat, or a bear. Cats always find the sunniest spots for napping... and bears, well they eat all summer and sleep all winter... So Maybe I'm a CatBear.  :)

Anyway Happy Shrove Tuesday!
If you haven't seen my Lent Calendars, perfect to start tomorrow!

How Much Wood, Would a Woodchuck... donate. Just $1!

I am in full force up and running with my new "Dollar Donate to Download" campaign. I've always had a donate button, and I really appreciate those who have donated... I also know that donating maybe just a buck, feels insignificant sometimes- but it is not, every dollar counts.  So in order for everyone to feel at ease, (and me too, because sometimes when people ask for a donation, I give nothing instead of just giving a dollar,  because I feel like it's not big enough- But it is. I am asking for a dollar a download, no more... just 1 dollar. And I myself have made a commitment from now on, if I can only give a dollar when someone asks me for a donation, I will give that dollar, because every dollar counts. I didn't realize the truth behind that until I started this journey of Living Life On Purpose. 

And yes I am shamelessly promoting this, because the funds do not go to me... they go to children whose smiling faces flood my dreams at night. They are going to children I cannot wait to meet, to play with, to hear their stories, to share my art, and to open my heart too. I am overwhelmed with love for these little people I have never met.

We are working on our wish list for larger donations, at the moment we would love to take soccer balls and air pumps, as well as some badminton equipment and a few more things. I might also looking for a sponsor who would like to join with me to create t-shirts for all of the children (I know I will be working up until the day we leave) there are 73 children (!).

Along this journey or preparing, my commitment to you, is that I will continue to create great quality art and prints that I would be proud to display in my own home, and I would be proud for you to display in your home as well. If you have any scriptures, or sayings, that you'd like to see in a print, please let me know! I'd love to see what I can come up with... Let's Create Together!

But for now, I will leave you with another sweet Woodchuck, because I think I love them! and how much wood, would he chuck? that is always the question, and my response remains the same- no idea.

Bear Naked.

I needed a little something for my bathroom, in ways of art. We've lived in our home for 10 years this year and I have NO art in our bathroom. What do people stare at when they are, well, ahem, you know? So I thought this would be super cute, because technically the bathroom is the *official and approved* place to get naked :)

For Coffee Lovers + Cat Lovers Alike

It's raining here and all I can think of is that today would be awesome if could just sit/lay/snuggle/curl up, drink coffee and read a good book all day. But alas that will not happen. Once this post is up, I will be off and running.

I myself am deathly allergic to cats, but those soft furry felines always make me want to cuddle up on a day like today, so this one is for coffee lovers and cat lovers!

Share the LOVE!

Rise and Shine!

Rise and Shine, it's coffee time!

Coffee may or may not be one of my favourite things to get out of bed for. Today, it is rainy, it is dark, cold, and did I mention rainy. The hubby (my favourite thing/ person/ entity to get out of bed + hang out with) left super early this morning. I got up and sent him off, with a kiss and a wave, then slid back into bed, for what I figured would be, maximum,  an hour.  Four hours later I woke up- oops.

Today I got up, because of coffee... warm, dark, wonderful coffee.

I hope you are fully caffeinated this fine Tuesday morning!
