I’ve had many things going on this year and whew… got caught up in my Artistic Chaos. Visit my blog to see what me and lots of folks have been up to. Also read my Articles at Divapreneur Magazine and Diviacity.
Learn how to make Fabulous and Fun Sun Catchers in minutes using Acrylic and Tim Holtz Alcohol inks. The beauties are fun and look fabulous outside soaking up sun or handing in your favorite indoor spot.
I bet you need an artisitc colorful break at some point in everyday!!! I got one for you. Go hang out at my website http://www.diviacity.com for a little while. I have so much stuff going on over there I’m loopy LOL. I love sharing artwork.
As I sit listening to some wonderful old school music and crafting and creating I think with a smile how much influence music has had on my life. Having been born in the 60s I’ve certainly lived through many changes in music style and taste. Sadly with a lot of music nowadays not much is left to the imagination but thankfully there is always technology to keep the past in the present with music. I can be accused of hording some old cassettes and even a few records but love the way you can get some much music into so little space now.
This little book covers all types of music and is transparent in the center so looks great in front of a light. Its a fun way to put so much feeling about something into a little space.
I realize that at some point in each day I hear music and find that its actually become a necessity for me. I also realize that the dances I did back then are the only dances I can do now LOL. What a great gift music is!

What a fun contest!!! It’s so nice to see positive energy coming across the pages. And the Winner of the Positive Page contest for March is… BEVERLY at WildBlue!
In Beverlys words “I’m a self taught artist who found herself retired on disability before I was ready to retire. I’ve always been a crafter of sorts, creating wedding flowers, and sketching here and there, but nothing like canvas work. Finding that I could even paint was a surprise to me and I’m so thankful that God has opened a new door for me to express myself!
And we’re thankful too Beverly. This beautiful dramatic page is inspiring and positive!
