This is dedicated to all those kids in school who said I had cooties. I was a shy little girl, mainly because I found out at a very early age what happens when you "play" with people. I was afraid to play with the other kids, so they rejected me and called me Cootie Girl. They didn't know that I was being sexually abused since the age of 3 or 4. They didn't know that my mother was a hoarder and my house was not a place I could bring a friend to, even if I had one. They didn't understand that there was no safe place for a little girl who desperately wished she had been adopted. It's hard for me to see what they saw and understand their point of view. I can't seem to see them from the perspective of time. Every time I think of those days, I'm a child again and it hurts to go to school almost as much as it hurts to come home.

I made this a long time ago. It's still my favorite Photoshop creation. I don't understand why people sneer at photoshop and treat it like it's an unworthy art form. Doesn't make any sense to me. I worked hard on this piece. It took me a few days to do. When people say, "Oh, it's just photoshop, it's not REAL art", I want to just shake them! LOL!

No love without Moon. No life without Sun.

This is my contribution to a traveling journal. I hope the owner of the journal likes it. Sometimes I look at other people's art and feel that mine just isn't on the same level as theirs. They all use collage and cut and paste techniques. I just like to draw and paint. I don't use embellishments very often.

I am visiting with my daughter for a few days. I drew this after I got in last night around midnight. 

Mail artists love the post office!

I made this postcard and sent it to Colorado. It was in a Postcrossing swap.

Music is a world within itself
With a Language we all Understand.

Multimedia.

I just figured out how to get music on my phone!! Which means I can have music when I go to the gym! I'll be working out, sweatin' to the oldies!

Hello again!

I haven't been on here in years! I am thinking of resurrecting this blog. I think the last time I was on here was during chemo. My, that seems like such a long time ago!! Hmm...

Anyway, Solstice seems like a good time for new beginnings, or for new re-beginnings, or for resurrecting an old blog.

So... Happy Solstice, Everyone! I will see you soon.....
