Blog Sale!

After weeks of talking about it I have finally gotten everything together and posted my blog sale! I had to post a page versus doing it in a post because it's very picture heavy.

I have multiple brands including include MAC, Urban Decay, WEN Haircare, Smashbox, The Balm, Benefit and much more! Most products are either new or swatched just one time.



Now, if you're not familiar with beauty blog sales I'll explain a bit because I know it sounds odd at first. You should have seen the looks on some of my coworkers faces when I mentioned the sale.

Basically beauty buffs are "collectors" of makeup just like us artsy people are "collectors" of art products. We have the best intentions but...

Most makeup can be sanitized quickly and easily with instructions readily available on the internet. Due to this you can buy name brand products off blog sales that have been barely used for fractions of the original cost.

If you know someone who would be interested PLEASE spread the word about this sale. It will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Garage Sales and Art Journals

Who knew having a garage sale was such hard work? I have always assumed it was easy and that you could just slap stuff together and have one all quick like. That doesn't seem to be the case with mine.

For starters...I have a TON of crap and I am only selling art related items! How on earth I managed to get so much stuff tucked into drawers and cabinets and not realize how much stuff I had is beyond me.

The good news though is that since I've weeded out about 3/4 of my art supply stash I've had a huge amount of inspiration hit me. You know that saying about a cluttered house a cluttered mind? I agree 100%.

I've also just been focusing on art journals. I have no interest in getting into the selling game just yet. Well, other than getting rid of my current stuff but you know what I mean.

This week I've been playing with intuitive mixed media collages and pulled paintings. I find once you remove the need to think about what you're doing you remove yourself from all the stress that surrounds you. How I have missed this.



My favorite part about doing journals like this is that you never know what you're going to end up with. Sometimes the characters you create have absolutely no rhyme or reason (hello, large kangaroo cat anyone?) but it's fun to using your imagination creating them.

What do you do to reduce your stress?

Time to Make a Change

I'm not sure what brought it on but for some reason I had the huge urge to paint this weekend. It's been a year and a half since I painted last.

Everything was still packed from having our floors redone so I had to scrounge around for supplies. I'm not 100% satisfied with how the finished piece turned our but I am 100% satisfied with how I felt afterward.

I forgot how much I love to paint.
