When I think of Spring I think of walking the beaches<i>.</i><br />
Winters here mean ruff seas, high tides, and lots of treasures to be found,<br />
so hitting the beach at a low tide will bring you an abundance<br />
of seashells, sea-glass, interesting driftwood and lots of new rocks.<br />
One of our favorite things to do is beachcombing in pacific northwest...<br />
Feeling the cool breeze brush across my face cleanses my soul.<br />
Walking hand in hand with my husband watching our fur babies<br />
run along the waves brings joy to my heart<br />
and smiles to everyone they come in contact with.<br />

My husband always teases me...<br />
"How can you enjoy the beauty of the beach when your head is buried in the sand?"<br />
Easy... I'm treasure hunting!<br />
Some of my treasures are seashells.<br />
I have several shadowboxes filled with different shells<br />
like these....<br />

Now it's your turn... either go for a walk on the beach, or to your local craft store<br />
to find some shells, I highly recommend the beach walk if it's possible.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I am looking forward to a New
Year filled with possibilities and new beginnings. I'm also looking forward to putting 2015
behind me, I have to say it's been an interesting year that's for sure, not one
I'd like to repeat anytime soon... I can't even begin to count the many friends,
loved-ones of my friends, and family members who were affected in one way or
another with life altering events this past year. It proved to be challenging
physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually... I felt so bad for everyone
around me that it took its toll on my body and life... I was spiraling down a
dark hole and couldn't see my way out... I had to constantly remind myself to
count each of my blessings... that loss is a part of our life, and instead of
mourning their departure, I needed to celebrate their life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I couldn't take any more loved ones
dying, friends being deathly ill or tragic events in our world. Being
bombarded from all angles was too much… It all played a huge part in my heaviness and downward internal spiral... On the outside I maintained, but on the inside I was crumbling. Everything I had planned on doing fell behind... I did what I needed to to survive.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Up until September I had been doing my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChelMariesArt/" target="_blank">365 days of art challenge</a>... I was
keeping up and marching through most of the heart ache. Then one of my best
friends from back-home in Alaska passed away out of the blue dying in her
sleep. She and I were close in age, so her dying really effected every aspect of my life. I didn't find out until the funeral had taken place. I was
shattered. So many things I wished I had told her. So many stories that
were left hanging, feeling guilty for not being there for her through the end. Everything compiled on each other...
I couldn't breathe or stop crying... I hit my wall! I needed a break...
break from my every day, a break to help heal my broken heart, nothing seemed important... I couldn't
paint one more picture. I let me 365 day challenge go to the wayside in the middle of September. Even though I felt like I had no art left in my, my body wouldn't allow stopping all together. Painting is a drive from deep within, I just had to switch my medium in order to get my mojo back. I needed to feel
grounded so I went to my rocks. I painted my first rock in months in her memory...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Most of you who know me know I have
a huge rock collection from all over the world... From each place I've visited
since I was a little girl. Gifts given to me by my traveling friends. I have boxes and boxes we have carried with us from
our move from Minnesota to Alaska, Alaska to Hawaii, Hawaii to Washington...
I've carried a lot of rocks over my shoulders these past 52 years, so has my
husband even though he's not as thrilled about it as I am. Thank God he loves
me, I don't know too many others who would have done so gracefully without
complaint. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In every home we've lived I've surrounded our home with rocks...
from river rock, to huge boulders... I can't explain my fascination with
rock of all origins... I just love each and every one of them. They bring me
comfort and have a calming effect on my entire body. Holding them in both hands,
feeling their energy, relying on their strength... it's no wonder why I
went to my rocks for comfort and grounding. Not only do I collect them, I have
started to paint on them in the last couple years. Living in the Pacific Northwest
on the Olympic Peninsula in the Puget Sound... Rocks are in abundance,
especially the nice big smooth rocks that easily take pen, marker, and paints.
Not only do I find comfort in them, I add the beauty of art combined with my
love and energy... It makes for a very special and powerful tool... I call them
my Earth Angel Rocks©</span>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Each rock is hand selected from the
beaches of the Pacific Northwest in Port Townsend Washington. They are cleaned,
drawn, and then hand painted with love. Each is unique in size, painting
and design. All are a one-of-a-kind piece of history. Each tell their own
story, grounding you to Mother Earth no matter where you are in this world.
They are sealed with an acrylic sealer and are meant for indoor use as they are
a piece of art. My hope is that my Earth Angel Rocks bring you a sense of
peace, love, and healing energy as it does to me. </span></div>

painting in-between family, baking and holiday events... I can't believe I've
managed to paint a rock a day building up a small collection soon to be listed
in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChelMariesCreations" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Etsy store.</span></a> If you can't wait, I also have
my Earth Angel Rocks in two local business here in Port Townsend... <a href="http://soakonthesound.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Soak
On The Sound</span></a> and <a href="http://www.theswanhotel.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">The Swan Hotel</span></a>. I'm hoping
to add a couple more local places here in the near future. I'll keep you posted
when I get new businesses on line. If you'd like to order a custom painted
rock... you can send me an email at... katasee[@]gmail.com (less the
brackets) and we can discuss options and price. No job is too big or too

from Dallas to Port Townsend the same week my girlfriend of 30 years died
unexpectedly. Having them here living with us for a month while they got
settled into their new place was a huge blessing... it had been 17 years since
my son went out on his own and moved to Minnesota. Getting to know him now as a
man warmed our hearts. Seeing what an amazing kind, giving, gentle,
loving, hardworking man he's grown into has made us both so proud of our
son. Having him here for the holidays, and celebrating his 35th birthday
was truly a gift unlike any other... Having them here is what kept me sane and
moving forward. My future daughter is a mover and shaker... she is instrumental in getting me to start selling my rocks again... she inspires me with her love and energy daily.</span></div>

sightseeing in Seattle, going to the beach even though it was cold, laughing, giggling,
and staying up to all hours of the night... We has so much fun, I didn't want

I've cooked in 7 years... We did the whole spread in celebration for all being together.... Yet
another blessing! I loved every minute of it... well, until I collapsed that
night out of pure exhaustion... It was a good exhaustion though, It reminded me I need to get in better shape so I
can cook for my loved ones and keep up with my granddaughter...</span><br />

with the visit from our middle son and his wife and daughter, our one and only
granddaughter... I never could have imagined anything better then grand kids.
With our kids all grown, we kind of got out of the baby way of life. Having a
little munchkin here for Christmas brought the magic back in our lives and home. We spent the holiday with our growing family... It was the first holiday in 30 years the entire Quam family were together in one place for a holiday, so of course we had to get pictures... Thank you to all our kids and their loves for making it happen. Getting everyone together at one time, in one place is no easy feat... but they pulled it off. It was a magical Christmas for Scott and I that we will never forget. We
can't wait for their next visit... </span><br />

family and friends share in the sentiment on saying good bye to a year filled
with lesson after lesson good and bad, trials, tribulations, loss and heart
ache. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all bad. We had an equal amount of joy,
love, laughter, passion and new adventures. Counting our blessing
and living life in gratitude even when life gets tough helps to maintain a
balance... Everywhere we look, life is giving us gifts... seeing them, acknowledging
them puts a whole new perspective on how we perceive every situation we are
faced with... The good always seems to outweigh any negatives life throws at us
if we choose to just open our eyes to the possibility. This past year has been
an amazing journey into the light I so needed to brighten a darkened path by
the loss of so many loved ones. I pray the New Year brings everyone some peace,
love, laughter, hope, happy memories and new beginnings... From our home to yours may your new year be full of blessings!</span><br />

obsession grew hoping one day I'd pass my love of dolls off to a daughter... As
a mother of all boys, well you can imagine my boys didn't share the same love or adornment. Every time I'd leave the house I'd come home to find my dolls covered
with blankets, turned upside down or facing backwards... My boys swore it
wasn't them but I knew they hated my dolls... They said when I wasn't home my dolls
always watch them, freaking them out... To this day when they come over some how my dolls
get covered... It cracks us up</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">❤</span></div>

<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>My 2nd Project is a play off of Yesterday's Project called:</b></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Tip-in's </b></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>What To Do With All Those Decorated Envelopes and Happy Mail </b></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>You've Been Collecting </b></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: small;">I don't know about you, but I've been collecting envelopes, cards, letters, and </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">postcards since I was young. Most sat in a box until about 10 years ago when</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I decided that my collection was to important to just be shoved into</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">a shoe-box and hidden in my closet or stacked in a corner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I decided that from now on I would do something creative with every card, postcard,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">or letter I've received. I went through all my boxes...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Put them into categories... some I couldn't even remember who they came from.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Some brought back many memories of family members, friends or events.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It was actually quite an adventure down memory lane.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Some of the cards needed to be re-purposed, by that I mean cut up to </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">be used as ephemera in collages and different art pieces. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Some I absolutely fell in love with and</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">went into my special pile. That pile is what ended up in my journals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Some people refer to it as a smash book... a new term that was brought into the </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">mix a few years ago in art journaling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But for me it's called tip-ins. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A tip-in is something you add to your journal to make an additional page, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">like this....</span></div>

How do you add these pages or tip-ins?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to use Washi tape, staples, duck tape or regular scotch tape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all depends on what you want showing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Decorative tape adds a creative element to your journal </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
making it colorful and exciting. You can match your tape</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to what's going on in your life, holidays, or just your favorite style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of mine. I string them on a ribbon so I can keep</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
them visible and quickly accessible. Some people like to store them in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
large jars so they look like the old fashion candy store jars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hang my ribbon from my lamp... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Washi tape has so many uses to be addressed in a future blog of it's own. </div>

Creating a beautiful book filled with memories, cards, letters, postage stamps,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
addresses from envelopes, pieces of wrapping paper from special gifts or events...etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... the list is endless of what you can collect and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
store in your journals... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can even do themed journals like all birthdays, Christmas or holidays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love to do special event journals like when my kids came to visit, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created a Victorian themed journal to add pictures to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I collected napkins, coasters, brochures of things we did</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like from the Wooden Boat festival as you'll see in my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There was something really fun about getting a letter in the mail hand delivered by Larry (our postman). It wasn't until I got older when receiving mail was a whole new experience... Bills, more bills and once in a great while I'd get something fun like a magazine, or a letter or postcard from a traveling friend. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It use to be more frequent back in the old days... but after the internet started to gain interest, and everyone replaced a hand written letter with a typed one sent through the internet into our conveniently located little boxes on our computer screen... leaving us a quaint little voice message saying...</span></span></span><br />
<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> "You've Got Mail." </span></span></span><br />

<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At first, it was soooo exciting to wake up to a box full of messages from far away friends... that is until everyone one on the universe got your email address and started sending you advertisements, bills on line, nasty grams, and other odds and ends. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now I have to admit, seeing the numbers grow of unanswered emails is out of control... it's just as bad as a pile of bills sitting on the corner of my desk... I've realized I'd rather do just about anything rather then deal with all the must do's required in every email.... Where's the fun in getting emails any more... and the cute little ladies voice that use to tell me I've Got Mail... even she got tired of them and retired...lol. </span></span></span></div>

<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It wasn't until I found out about swapping art on line in an old chat room did reading my emails become fun again... Now I was swapping addresses to mail out Artist Trading Cards (ATC's).</span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The first card I mailed out I couldn't help myself... I had to decorate the envelope... Not only did I have fun drawing a smaller version of the card on the envelop... but after the receiver retrieved their mail... I'd normally receive a call saying how beautiful and fun it was to receive such a gift. They all loved the little mailed treasure... They were almost more excited about the envelop then about the ATC I sent them. Unfortunately... I didn't think to take a picture back then to share with you now.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Making and receiving beautifully decorated envelopes, and how it makes me feel is what inspires me to always try to make what I'm sending whether it's an envelope or a box adorned with something Cheerful... Creative... or a little special surprise for someone that may be having a ruff day...</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Can you just imagine how you would feel receiving a little mail art when you least expected? </span></span></span><br />
<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's what I thought... admit it, you'd love a little piece of art in your mail, making your mundane bills a little brighter.... </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You don't even have to be an artist to do this... anyone can add some decorative tape, draw a stick figure, add some stickers, draw, paint, color; Use different fonts to address your envelop, think out side of the box... Or just spraying a little paint on an envelope... something to brighten up your mail. H</span></span></span><span class="fsl"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">ere are a few examples of my mail art..</span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">While
Meat if frying... I peal and cut up in 1" chunks 10 large carrots, 10
large Russet pealed Baking Potatoes, 1 large stalk of Celery (about 10
sticks), and 1 Large Sweet Onion.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Spray Pam in a large Roaster pan covering all areas, even the rim of the lid... (you'll thank me later... ) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Place
all ingredients into a large Roaster. (I prefer the old-fashioned Black
with white specks one. You can also use a dutch oven... The above
measurements are for the large roaster.)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Add enough water to cover meat and veggies (about 12 cups). Cover with lid and put into a </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">350* degree oven for about 3 to 4 hours.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">When
done add 2 cups of frozen peas. I hate mushy peas which is why I add
them last... they will thaw while your stew is resting a minute before
serving.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Stew
is done when the stew begins to brown and when you stir the stew it
will thicken up from the soft carrots and potato's... If too watery for
your taste... you can always mix a cup of flour and water into a cup and
slowly add to the stew to thicken... I rarely have to do this. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I usually check the stew every hour until I feel it's done... It should look like the above picture ... </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Below is a picture step by step... Enjoy!</span></span></div>

2014: The 1st five friends to comment on this blog post that they want to
play will receive from me, sometime in this calendar year, a random
gift... It will be a total surprise! There will be NO warning and it
will be sent to you whenever the mood strikes! So, what's the catch? If
you decide to participate you MUST make this same offer on YOUR page and
get five people to randomly gift to.<br /> <br /> If you're one of my five,
I will confirm by liking your comment and asking for your mailing
address in a PM. No double-ups though, aka spouses, family members.... :o)</span>Chel Marie's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13485375928610957787noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806024776502468517.post-33798786590358592442013-12-30T15:13:00.000-08:002013-12-30T15:21:58.494-08:00Money Saving Tips and Tricks I Use In My Art Creations<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

I have a couple tips and tricks that I like and use frequently to
help me conserve money while creating art...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use old
magazines that I've gone through and pulled out everything of interest. Instead
of tossing them I use them as my workspace pallet especially when I'm gluing or
using the double sided tape... I can have a clean working space after using each
corner of each page... then I just turn the page and I have another clean
surface... it saves time and keeps my art clean and fresh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For painting, I
use inexpensive paper-plates as my pallet... seems more economical, especially
when I find them at garage sales or on sale, they are normally cheaper than the
throw-away pallets. When I'm done with them I let them dry, then I cut up and
use in my art, I can get a couple ATC's or tabs, or I cut specific shapes out
to use in my art. </div>

3. For my drawing surface, I use a white card stock or cut
up cereal boxes so one I can check colors of pens/pencils/markers or paint as I
go, I can write out a word to check spelling or design before applying to my
piece so I make less mistakes...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>then
when it's full I cut them up to use as backgrounds of my ATC's, or for a larger
art piece. </div>

4. I bake a lot, so I discovered a use for the plastic
container included with each 3 pack of Crisco shortening sticks (meant to keep
your shortening sticks fresher) for my homemade glue mixture... I take
different glues depending on what I'm working on and mix with water to thin.
Each package also contains a cover. it will keep even longer if I put in a
zip-lock bag in- between use.</div>

5. I recycle almost every piece of mail I get... if it doesn't
need to be saved, I cut it up and use in my art projects, all the way down to
the envelope, I love the different designs that each country or company has... <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use the stamps or postmarks in my art, I
save the return address in my yearly address book so I have accurate addresses
for all my art friends... I use postcards for ATC's or I create art around/over
them and send to my art friends, I cut up all the interesting pictures to use
in my collage art, I even use flyer's or heavy advertising pages for making
homemade envelopes to mail or use in my art journal.</div>

6. I also make home made tape to use in my art by using double sided tape onto tissue paper, wrapping paper, old bags that I like, fabric, or anything else I like and tape can be applied to... it saves from buy expensive tapes, plus I can make as little of it or a lot.... brightens up my journals and is easy to work with...<br />

Here is my latest creation... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>A Victorian Seaport Themed Journal</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Inspired by our beautiful little seaport town of Port Townsend, WA. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Recently, I entered into a challenged hosted by <i><a href="http://www.mayarts.com/blog/a-nautical-craft-challenge/" target="_blank">May Art's Ribbon</a>, </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was one of their selected 20 participants chosen to partake in the challenge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were giving the opportunity to submit a project design, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they selected their top 20 ideas to participate, mine was one of the lucky ones selected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My idea was to create a hand crafted journal with a Victorian Seaport
theme. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Living in the quaint town of Port Townsend, WA; I have many inspirations to draw
from </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with all the Victorian Queen Ann style vintage homes that surround our small little community, along with the surrounding boat harbors and havens (places where boats are put to rest, or get restored) that house some of the most amazing wooden boats I've ever seen in real life; then there's an abundance of antique shops, old fashioned restaurants and malt shops, traditional bakeries and cheese shops nestled in the most incredible and amazing early 1800's <span style="font-size: small;"><span class="st">Architectural</span> masterpieces.</span>.. Living here is an artist's dream. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love incorporating little parts of all our little gems into a multimedia collage, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
choosing to do a journal was fun and exciting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hardest part I had was limiting myself to a ten page spread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I enjoy utilizing all elements from my surrounds, re-purposing found treasures found at local thrift shops or the many garage sales and estate sales you'll find each weekend throughout the year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I especially love all the old papers, maps, and <span class="hw">ephemera (pronounced... </span><span class="hw">e·phem·er·a</span> <span class="pron0x"></span> which is a class of collectible items not originally intended to last for more
than a short time, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
such as tickets, posters, postcards, labels, etc... ), You just never know what treasures you'll find tucked away here in Port Townsend.... It's bound to spark your creative juices flowing and set you off on a creative adventure for sure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I
see art and inspiration in everything... highlighting May Art's beautiful
ribbons was easy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were given the choice of 4 ribbons from the 7 offered. </div>

We
just don't realize how important water is in our life and to our
survival on so many different levels. Without it we die... I know some people don't hardly
drink water, and others would like you to believe that this is fake or a
hoax... But for me this is ve<span class="text_exposed_show">ry true!
After having a heart attack last October 4th (yes I kept it a secret
from FB friends, I was embarrassed and didn't want to upset everyone's
holidays) I had given up any hope of ever getting better or having any
quality of life. I had continued to get sicker by the month even though I
tried to hid it. My Crohn's disease was out of control. The migraines
were unbearable, the rash all over my body wouldn't go away, nor did
they know why or how to fix it. My meds were at an all time high and
medical appointments were ruling my day. Then I was introduced to Enagic
in December after praying for some sort of miracle or answers...<br /> </span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_511c0eff734ee2763262617">
<span class="text_exposed_show">I
started Drinking Kangen Alkaline Water December 1, 2012 and for the
second time in 12 years I felt like I was getting my life back. I had
changed my diet last January 2012 eating Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live
life style, but it wasn't enough for me. Sure I lost a lot of weight,
but after the heart attack, depression and more meds, I started to gain
it back.<br /> </span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_511c0eff734ee2763262617">
<span class="text_exposed_show">Just in the past two months that I've been drinking Kangen
Water I have seen incredible results... My blood pressure has dropped,
inflammation markers are reduced, rash and bleeding is gone, migraines
almost gone (only 1 last month), weight (dropped 10 lbs. without
exercise), Energy level has doubled. Med's are decreasing daily, going
from 28 med's down to 6 in less than 6 weeks. They are moving my chemo
back out from 4 weeks to 6 and I'm hoping to be off the Remicade by the
end of year if all keeps going as is (a girl can dream can't she...lol).
This is something I never would have imagined, I was told I'd be on it
for the rest of my life. For the first time in 12 years I have hope...</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_511c0eff734ee2763262617">
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br />
All I can go by are the results I'm seeing in my own body, health, and
medical tests. Along with the results of my oldest son who is also
drinking Kangen Water following a major surgery and stint in ICU over
the holidays. For those of you who know me and my oldest son have seen
our struggles and seen our life deteriorating due to having crohn's
disease. It affected all aspects of our life. If I had known that the
only thing we needed to change was our water intake and the type of
water we were drinking, God only knows where we'd be now... But there is
no better day then today to start changing or healing your life...</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" id="id_511c0eff734ee2763262617">
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br />
All I know is that I want to be around for my three amazing son's and
daughter-in-laws, I want to see and meet my future grandkids grow up
someday (OK, maybe I'm being presumptuous on this one and jumping the
gun, again, a girl can dream...lol.) I do know that I want to experience
all the things on my to-do list... I want to enjoy a life with my
husband we've dreamed about... I'm not ready to quit looking for options
that are right for me... to throw in the towel an die.</span></div>

~Healing Through Art~</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A fellow artist friend of mine Catt Geller who belongs to one of my art groups <a href="http://wildsoularts.ning.com/" target="_blank">Wild Soul Art's</a> (hosted by Effy Wild) sent out a request for Happy Mail a few days ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is her story.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Hi there! I'm Catt Geller, artist and graduate of Shiloh Sophia's Color Of Woman method. I have been gifted with a mash up of Effy's Art Journaling and Shiloh's Color of Woman Method that I provide to recovering addicts as a tool to assist women in their long term recovery.<br /><br />Currently I volunteer in one non-profit recovery center in Southern California once a week. There is an average of 10 to 18 women each week. The results have been amazing. Their muses are awake. And as you know, all muses need to be fed each week. Since the recovery center is non-profit there is very little money for supplies. We are using crayons and colored pencils.<br /><br />The challenge has been how to feed these muses each week with new material and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then I thought of last year's very successful Happy Mail project.<br />So, I'm wondering if you would be interested in sending Happy Mail to me to take into the recovery center each week. Ephemera, any bits or bobs you don't need any more. Also, if you have supplies you don't use any more, such as Reeves oil pastels, because you have upgraded them, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would love to have them as well.<br /><br />I've decided I'm not going to open up the packages and just take them in to the center where the women can have the excitement of opening them up.<br />I appreciate your willingness to even consider my request and thank you all in advance.<br /><br />My address is 13560 Collie Court, Moreno Valley, CA 92555.<br /><br />~Again, thank you all so very much!~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To help out in my small way, I just mailed a box of Fun Mail to Catt Geller. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Healing Through
Art has been my lifeline through my illness, I truly do not know where I'd be if I didn't have art in my life... If your able to help Catt out, or maybe just mail a card of encouragement, I'm sure all would be greatly appreciated! I love getting fun mail... it truly makes my heart sing!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I belong to a wonderful Ning group called </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://alittlegoddessinall.ning.com/" target="_blank">There's A Little Goddess In All Of Us </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's an inspiring group of ladies from around the world, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a place to find goddesses, art, poetry, friendships and discussion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I joined the monthly postcard swap a couple years ago to discover myself and as a way to heal through art. It was during a time in my life when I was home-bound due to my illness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spending many hours at home and in bed left me longing for a sense of community and purpose. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was very depressed, sad, and lonely; I'd spend most of my sleepless nights scavenging the net</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for inspiration, friendship and a sense of belonging. I found it in an art chat room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had met Carol and a few of the other ladies in an on line art class called <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d8rwpRPiSg" target="_blank">Art Heart and Healing </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a free on line class which I used as a form of therapy.<a href="http://willowing.ning.com/" target="_blank"><br /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There I was inspired to dig deep into my creative self and learn new techniques I never knew existed, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all the while of healing through the process of art.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The woman I've met in both of these Ning groups are filled with love, compassion and inspiration. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Carol, our fearless hostess of the postcard swap shakes our world with a new topic every month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are encouraged to interpret each artist as we like, utilizing any medium to express our take on each topic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I view each month as challenges to help me find my creative style and grow as an artist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each challenge teaches me new techniques as I learn about the featured artist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year, the theme was famous artist. Each having a wide array of styles, most were new to me, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like: Di Grazia, Basquiat, Amedeo Modiglian and Freda. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Carol has opened my eyes and creative world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inspiring me to learned more about myself as an artist and refined my techniques as a result. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each month a new topic is announced, I research and learn everything I can about it. It helps me to learn how they created their particular technique, form and style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some are more challenging then others, some take me several days to complete, some I whip off in no time; Each push my boundaries and are unique in their own way, becoming near and dear to my heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Joining <a href="http://alittlegoddessinall.ning.com/" target="_blank">There's A Little Goddess In All Of Us </a>has been a true blessing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every month I receive little treasures in the mail from all walks of life, I call these fun mail. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is there anything more exciting then receiving a handmade postcard from other artistes around the world... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think not! It makes opening the mail fun again... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my take on our January's "Famous Woman" postcard swap, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you'll find as much inspirations in my creations as I did in Maya's life's work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to do a multimedia collage for 3 of my cards and a drawing for the last one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the 3 collage cards, I used magazines cuttings, watercolor paints, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
markers, napkins, and quotes from Maya Angelou.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I always like to draw the featured artist as my tribute to them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used an ultra-fine Sharpe pen and markers.</div>

Most of you who follow me on Facebook may have noticed recently in the
past two months I've been a very active member in The Art Abandonment Project
created by Michael and Andrea DeMeng.<br />
Art Abandonment is a group designed to
encourage random acts of art, left in various locations around the globe. The
idea is that folks can make something and leave it for a lucky unsuspecting
person to find. Artists can then post locations and photos of abandoned
goodies…and finders can let everyone know that they are the lucky finder! O'
sweet abandon!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's an intro page on Typepad for full explanation:</div>

Here are several pictures of items I have left from Port Townsend all the
way down to Vancouver Washington. If your one of my lucky recipients... Please
post what and where you found the item I've left... I'd love to hear your
experience...good, bad, or indifferent.<br />

For me it's all about the giving part... the putting a smile in someone's
heart that makes me want to abandon my precious pieces of me. I put a little
bit of my heart and soul in each piece I make... sending it out into the world as a gift
to brighten someone's day is why I've been leaving items for the past several
years now... This isn't a new concept to me, I just didn't start six months ago when Art Abandonment launched... no
I've been leaving little treasures for many many years now... I just never
publicly advertised that I was doing random acts of kindness....<br />
<br />
Ever since I
got sick in 2000... something in me changed. I knew it was no longer about me
but rather how I make others feel that truly matters. I think when we expect
things to happen we become disappointed because it never rarely happens the
exact way we imagine... but sending little gifts out into the world, no one is
ever expecting that they will find something special that day, which makes my
gift all the more exciting.<br />
<br />
For the past several years on Valentine's day I've been handing out homemade
cards to everyone I come in contact with... normally I'm getting chemo that day
so most go to the hospital patients, staff, and visitors... I can't tell you
how many people have said that it's the first valentine they had received in
years, or the first ever random gift by a stranger or friend. Some even said
that they've never received a card or gift on Valentine's day... which broke my
heart! I started with 50 homemade Valentines... now I average 350 deliveries.
Last Valentine's day I had 10 friends send me their handmade valentines to add
to the mix to be hand delivered....There is just something magical that happens
deep in your soul when you make another's heart sing....♥ With Valentiens quickly approaching it's time to get those Valentines ready... here are a few that went out last year...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://pinterest.com/chelmarieq/" target="_blank">My Pinterest Boards</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After months and months of seeing all my friends Pinterest boards pop up all over Facebook,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to check it out, see what was so special about all this pinning stuff...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, to say the least... There should be a WARNING attached to all pins...lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is soooooo addictive, fun, exciting, mesmerizing, hypnotic and riveting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One could completely get lost for hours and hours and not even remember where you started </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or how you got in. I have learned so much about things I never knew existed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's like window shopping around the world, but not just for stuff! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find ideas, examples, inspiration, educational explanations, ways to decorate, how-to's, art,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
creative storage ides, photo's that are beautiful and just to love, gardening tips, art instruction, unique food,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quotes, whimsy inspirations, places to visit around the world, dream destinations, cooking tips made easy,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
valentines, promotions, contests, sweet treats, holiday ides, etc.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The list can go on and on and on...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The thing I really love about this site is that you can keep all your likes, desires, wants, needs, dreams, projects, recipes, how-to, and future home ides, whether you think you'll need something now or if you may need it at some future date, like if your planning on having a baby, or your little ones may be going to school or off to college in the near future... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a place where you can organize everything you like in one place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If that we're enough... You can also see what others like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see what your kids like, want, or covet </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(even though we've been told our whole life to never covet anything...lol).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all know how well that one worked out... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is it called coveting or is it dreaming? I'd like the think it's called dreaming.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dreams are what we are all made of!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also love that you can see what your family and friends like or would like, making for easy gift idea's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It can even help spark your creative juices flowing, I think my <a href="https://pinterest.com/chelmarieq/d-i-y-craft-ideas/" target="_blank">D.I.Y. Craft Ideas board</a> is one of my largest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you haven't checked out Pinterest yet I urge you to give it a try, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if your like me you'll be amazed at the wealth of information, imagination and motivation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I only have about 25 boards and 130+ pins but some of my friends have thousands so if you get board with mine, I'm sure you find many many more to keep you entertained. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But.... Don't take my word, check it our for yourself and add me to your friend list, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd love to see what boards you come up with! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ Enjoy! ~</div>

hands creating, and it encourages me to be the best that I can be. </span></span></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Last month, I challenged myself, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I used a new medium I've never tried, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pastels... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I really liked how smooth they felt across the page, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">and how easy they were to blend, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">but a little more difficult to seal for safe mailing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I can't wait to use them again!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is one of my video's I've produced for the tag art group I use to host over at <a href="http://rosesonmytable.ning.com/">Roses On Our Table</a>.
At the time there were about 100 of us in the group from all over the
world and all walks of life. I had been hostessing the group for about a
year and loved it, but life got in the way and I had to resign... The
one thing I miss most is being surround but the most amazing artists and
the most beautiful, loving, caring and compassionate woman around. I've
had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful souls on line and in
person.. Being a part of this group had brought me so much love and joy
into my life, every day was a true inspiration. If you're looking for a
compassionate group to join, Zinna and everyone will welcome you with
open arms. If you check them out, please tell them I said Hello and that
I miss them all....</span><br />

We'd throw it together early in the day and shove it in the oven and forget about it while we were getting ready for our traditional Christmas eve festivities... It's one of those meals where you can add it to your favorite meat and vegetables... or like we did... we made a batch of salmon dip for an appetizer and had cheesy potatoes for our meal... I know I have a picture here somewhere but for some reason I can't seem to find it... Here is the recipe, I'll post the pic as soon as I come up with it...</span></div>
