WELCOME TO OUR BLOG HOP!!

WELCOME TO OUR "WISHING STAR ANGEL" BLOG HOP!!:) I hope you all enjoy our wonderful blog hop and beautiful creations along the way! Our participants used my "Wishing Star Angel" image to create a card and were to make a special wish for someone other than themselves. Have fun!:)


Here is Ileana's beautiful entry to our blog hop, I'm posting her's here since Ileana doesnt have a blog yet. Please enjoy her wonderful and heartfelt wish for her daughter and her amazing entry with my "Wishing Star Angel!"

I have a 10 y-o daughter and, because life is not always easy, I don´t have her with me all year round but the summers, when she finishes school she comes here to spend 3 months with me. I miss her terribly, more than I can say, but we spend the most beautiful months together every year and I´m so grateful to life I can do it. My thoughts are always with her and on this special time of the year my wish is for her:
"I wish her to remain as brave, caring and nice as she is now; brave so she can conquer all difficulties, caring so she doesn´t forget about other people needs and act consecuently, and nice because if she is a nice person (not only with people but also with life, nature, etc) she´ll get that in return."

Thank you so much Ileana for a beautiful wish for your daughter, you are an amazing woman! And thank you for such a gorgeous card! Its an amazing piece of art, Ileana!:)

PRINCESS LOTUS SKETCH

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got to spend some time with your loved ones this weekend and had some time for you and your creativity as well!

My Thanksgiving was great and as always a little hectic but today I am taking full advantage of my "ME" time and finding my inner creative goddesss! Speaking of goddesses, I drew a new goddess this morning called "Princess Lotus" who I think will make a lovely digital stamp!:) I think she was inspired by all of the yoga I have been doing lately and how centered I feel when I'm practicing. Now that my knee is healing and I'm back to working out I am even more balanced in my life again. It feels so good!!:)

Hope you enjoy my new goddess and find some time for yourself to feel your own balance during this time of year! Have a beautiful day everyone!:)

Michelle :)

SLEEPYTIME ANGEL SKETCH

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you are all getting your creative time in somewhere this weekend! I know its a terribly busy time of year for all of us!

I was sketching in my jammies this morning, one of my favorite activities, and was inspired by a little angel on my shelf. I still have a ceramic light switch cover from my room when I was a baby. It is one of my most cherished items. It has a little praying angel in the clouds with a gold halo and has become my own little guardian angel over the years and is a special keepsake from the house where I grew up in Massachusetts.

I drew my new little "Sleepytime Angel" and will be inking her today as a new digital stamp design!

Do you guys still have anything special keepsakes from your childhood ? Dolls? blankets? toys? I'd love to hear all about them!:)

NEW DIGITAL STAMP MERMAID NOW AVAILABLE!

"Song of the Sea" is now available on my Etsy shop! I'm loving creating my new mermaids lately! I think its because I have been back to walking down to the beach alot more now that my knee is healed! Yay!

When I orginally designed this image I was really into harp music and thought about taking lessons. There is a huge harp store in LA that gives harp lessons on the giant ones, I thought it would be so cool to learn and to play one! But until then, I have my Spa channel on siruis radio, they play lots of harp music to inspire me!:)

Hope you like her! She is now available and is waiting to play a song for you! :)

MAY YOUR CHEEKS ALWAYS BE ROSY WITH HAPPINESS!

Happy Friday all my creative friends! I hope your day is full of creative moments, whatever they may be!

My knee has been feeling so great these past few weeks, thank goodness. I have been back to the gym and yoga and last night I walked to the beach and back which felt incredible, physically and mentally!

I was the only one on the beach (except for the kissing couple in the lifeguard booth! :)) There is always something so magical and wonderful about walking on the beach and listening to the waves. Its the closest to heaven I can think of! It was a blustery, chilly evening and the surf was awesome. I sometimes wonder if the mermaids will show their faces! :)

It was wonderful to walk sans dogs! I love my doggies but it is such a different experience when you walk alone, I highly recommend it!

When I woke up this morning I drew this little windblown snow goddess that I wanted to share with you! And I thought the perfect verse for her would be, "may your cheeks always be rosy with Happiness!" Much happiness to you all today and everyday!

Hugs,

Michelle :)

"ROSIE" DIGITAL STAMP NOW AVAILABLE

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Just wanted to let everyone know that my new "Rosie" fairy is now available as a digital stamp on my Etsy Shop!

"Rosie" sat in my sketchbook for months until she finally flew out to spread her message about nuturing your dream! I am such a believer in listening to and following your dreams no matter how small they may be. I hope you are lucky enough to have nurtured your creative dreams today and do so often! It is so good for your soul!

Have a beautiful and creative week everyone!

Michelle :)

HARMONY GODDESS DIGITAL STAMP NOW AVAILABLE

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Just finished my "Harmony Goddess" digital stamp. I originally colored her as a print but I think she's pretty cute as a digital stamp.

I loved working on her and now that I'm back to yoga again I really want to do more little yoga goddesses.

Hope she brings you a little peace of harmony! :)

"POINTSETTIA FAIRY" DIGITAL STAMP NOW AVAILABLE!

Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween weekend! I sure did! But as soon as I woke up the day after, I was somehow feeling the Christmas spirit, at least in my sketchbook!

I had sketched my little Pointsettia Fairy a while ago and started adding details to her dress yesterday and then before I knew it I was inking her and now she is finished and is now available on my Etsy shop as a digital stamp.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33719889

Really looking forward to more Christmas fairies and maybe even a sugar plum fairy! (first I have one more Alice stamp to finish!)

Hope you enjoy my new fairy as much as I enjoyed creating her! Have a wonderful and creative day, everyone!

Michelle :)
