Soooo it has been a few months since I have posted anything here…
Twitter and Facebook have become my two favourite places to update – it is just so easy to type in quick notes and thoughts!
I am sorry little blog
I have neglected you…

BUT here I am! with some updates!!

I have recently made a Facebook Fan Page, where I will be updating and posting things like crazy.
However, I will try to limit the posts to just ones about my Art.
My Twitter page is where you will find my random daily thoughts and activities, plus links to my videos and work-in-progress pics.
This way, if you just want the art side of things you can just become a fb fan, but if you want to know more about me you can follow me on twitter!

I will try and post things here too….yet now with the convenience of fb pages and twitter, it almost doesn’t make much sense to post things here – my blog seems isolated from the rest of the web. But we will see

I recently posted a new short video about the 6 things I use when making one of my illustrations
voila!

I am working on another video, which is about a mixed media piece, and that should be up in the next few days!
I really want to start broadcasting myself working as well, so I have to find a good webcam with a built-in mic…..hmmmm any suggestions?

Okay, so that is about it!!
Hope to see you on Facebook and Twitter!!

Have a super duper Wednesday tout le monde!

Marzipan and Ginger, sitting behind me, wanting to play – the typical afternoon.

“mom, come play with us!! we want to go outsideeee *whine whine whine*” lol

Having them sit there, looking at me with such sad eyes, makes it hard to work. It happens everyday after lunch – David goes back to work, I turn on my music, and they suddenly appear wanting attention. They wait till I want to work. Sometimes it is so totally frustrating lol but how can I say no??

Just look at that little face!!

They sooo need to go to the groomers – Marzi got into a mud hole that our friend’s dog dug…ohh my, was she ever dirty! You can’t really tell in these two pics, but she is not her usual white-self lol. I think this weekend we will take them in.

I printed out my first sheet of Art Cards today. I think they look pretty good! Once again my camera skills are the suck, but you can get the idea.

That is Ginger in the corner – she was curious .
They are so much brighter in person! Next step is to cut them out and take some good photos of them with thier envelopes. I think I will get David to help me with the pics – he is a good photographer, and with the two of we could try to take the photos outside. Better lighting ftw!

I have been trying to use Twitter, but I am unsure what to do with it. None of my friends in Canada seem to use it, so I am kinda at a loss. So far I just have a few artists that interest me (like Natasha and Suzi) …but because there is no one on there that knows ME, I don’t see the point in updating it. I guess it may be something I will get into once I make more online friends. We will see.
Utterz is still next on my list – I am actually excited about trying it out! I have been browsing people’s pages, and it seems like a real cool community. So yah, definitely going to start that up this week.

On Thursday, David and I go get our hair cut – I am planning on getting into a shorter bob! lol I came down to Texas with long hair, but have since got it cut shorter each time we see Nikki (our hair stylist). I used to have REALLY short hair, like maybe an inch long, back in high school – but got bored with it and started to grow it out again. Now I am back with wanting it really short. Maybe after the appointment I will get some pics together to show my hair over the years. lol could be fun!

Wow, I have written a ton here. Oopsy!
This is a good example why the Utterz thing would be a benefit to me – I talk way to much and some people would rather hear it than read it

Okey dokey, so I hope you all had a wonderful Monday!

Toodles!

This is what happens when you can’t get to sleep.
You play with different colour schemes lol.

I plan on redoing my logo/title thing at the top too, but I think I am done for tonight.

I joined Twitter today, but I am not sure if I will keep it. I always seem to be on the computer lol, so I don’t think I need the quick little updates. I think I will try Utterz though – Natasha Wescoat wrote a post on her blog about micro-blogging, so I am going to try the three programs she recommends. I chose Twitter today, and sometime in the next week I will get on Utterz.
Oh boy, lol just what I need….another distraction All these social networks are wayyy too addicting.
I just hope to make some new artist friends. I used to blog a TON back in college -  I would start a post and keep adding to it throughout the day, and I would do this every day. I was so totally addicted and obsessed lol.  The blog was on msn spaces, when it first came out, and it was so much fun reading others posts and commenting. There was a great little community that I was a part of.
Here, however, I am not connected to a blogging community, so I am starting to branch out. I like being on my own here, attached to my website (that needs to be majorly updated, I know lol), but I am a wee bit secluded. Sooooo I am going to try other things like Twitter and Utterz, and we will see where I go from there.

Okay, so enough rambling.
I think I am off to bed. Or atleast to read in bed.

Nighty night tout le monde!
