BACK TO BLOGGING

 Hello Friends,

I can’t believe how much time has gone by since I’ve last blogged. So much has happened, good and bad. My Mom passed, Covid hit, I lost 90% of my Petsitting business and I had cancer. But I wouldn’t have changed any of it because I think it’s made me stronger and my faith has grown. Everything has been a part of God’s plan.

I hope and pray that you are all well and that you have been creating lots of beautiful things over the last few years.

During the Covid lockdown I was looking for something to divert my attention from the news so I decided to create and publish a class on SKILLSHARE and I discovered how much I loved teaching. So I created 3 more classes and have loved every minute.




During the time when I was caregiving for my Mom who had Dementia, I watched hours and hours of Skillshare classes to keep me in the painting loop. I was way too exhausted to paint much so I just watched painting classes. After my Mom passed I looked at the hours I had watched and decided it was time to make my own class. It has been a wonderful experience.

I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2020. I had surgery and then went through months of chemo. As I was recovering last year I drew my first “Jesus Girl” as I call them and I’ve been painting them ever since.

I’ve also started painting florals in acrylic and mixed media and love working with so many beautiful, bright colors and textures.

I’ve been posting a lot on Instagram these days but it feels really good to be writing again.

Please let me know how you are doing, what you are working on creating, I’d love to hear from you!

God bless you,

Michelle❤️πŸŽ¨πŸ™πŸ»πŸŒΈπŸ˜˜πŸ’•
