self-portrait

Is it me?

what does a self-portrait mean? Is that what I see in a mirror or think about?
While people long for reply, the received statements influence them like an assault, stimulate the defense ... thus the questions become the heralds of peace - they embellish even the most discursive story. Yet is that the art of self-portrait?

A New Look & A Double Giveaway!

Like my new Look?

Learning and growing this business has been an adventure.

I couldn't be happier than I am doing anything else.

I am definitely finding myself, my talents and things I need to work on.

I will be the first to say I haven't been great at keeping my social life where it was. But I miss you all and that is my current goal. 

I am learning to find the balance of Family, Friends and Designing.

As you can see I have finally upgraded my Design to something that really represents who I am. I couldn't be happier, it has really taken me quite awhile to find "me" again. How Children can and DO change things!

Through the last several months I have met some great people. Clients have turned into great friends, I never expected that.

I would like to introduce you to Crystal from Domestic, But Not Martha isn't she a Hot Mama!

She is an amazing Mom, Daughter of Christ and friend.

You may know of Crystal from the Fundraiser that she pulled together with several dozen people without my knowledge to help Mason.

Can I say you people are amazing!

Anyways, Crystal's Blog has been growing leaps and bounds since she started it in November of last year. 

I have promised her that when she hit 100 followers through Google Friend Connect that I would give her one of her Followers a Brand NEW Blog Design!

And guess what she just happened to hit 100 followers at the same time of my own Blog Makeover.

So we thought what better idea could we have then giveaway TWO Blog Designs away!!!

Are you excited yet? 

Each of us will be giving the "Simple" package to one of our lucky followers.

visual poetry

Visual Poetry by Tomas Karkalas

I would name this digital painting My Supporter, because while painting (writing the diary) I was looking at a home on the other side of a street and the visualization of its inhabitants helped me to question myself  "Why should story of my illness interest you?'" Thus the complaining was changed to visual poetry and Art by Tomas was healed from the mourning.
