what do i do now...

this is my first day here. my first blog.
i wanted to set this up so that i could share with others...
my art...my thoughts, ideas...and occasional ramblings...
AND get feedback...
i don't know how much time i'll be able to devote...
but at least i've taken the first step.
i don't really know where to start...what to say...

i'm a massage therapist...by day....for about 13 yrs.
when i'm not in massage mode...i'm reading, writing...creating...
gardening, hiking.

sometimes that's my problem...i've got too many things going on at the same time!
it's hard for me to SIT. to do nothing.

so what do i plan to do here?? on this new blog?
i'd like to share my art. maybe show how i go about creating something...
i'll post the links to my 2 etsy shops...
and then HERE...i can get a little more intimate...informative...
WHY do i decorate bones? where do i find the bones? how do i clean them?
where do i get my butterfly wings? pressed flowers?
how do i do the sandblasting? WHAT IS sandblasting?

i also decorate old vintage bottles...found...dug up...cleaned
and champagne glasses which i find in thrift shops.

anyway...this is a good start...i think. i hope.
eventually i see this as a good place to share my creations...ideas...
process...my art, writings...and so on...

it's almost 9am...got to get ready for my day job...massage...
and cleaning up the house...dishes...etc...you know the routine.

before i go, i'll post the links to my etsy shops...and i think i'll put THIS
link on my FB page.
til next time...laura

  5. So it has been a year. Many journeys shared. Yes, you do show us how to walk in the forest with art and grace. May you have many more walks. You did take the path less traveled.

  6. So I'm not the first one to have the idea to start from the beginning! I wish I would have thought of it sooner to wish you a happy anniversary, but I'm here now, so HAPPY ANNIVERSARY now!!

  8. When I find a blog I really like I always go back to check out the first few post. I like to see what the author had in mind, what was planned and what was expected and compare that to what is the current reality.

    I know my blog has evolved over the years. It changed the most when I got married and started getting the input of my husband.

    I'll be skipping around as time permits. Keep up the good work.
