Merry Christmas everyone! Its Christmas Eve morning here and I am having a cup of my favorite coffee with peppermint mocha creamer! I just posted my new stamp called "Magical Alchemy" on my Etsy shop this morning!

I named this piece so because alchemy creates gold and when WE create, WE create gold! It is the most magical process I can think of in the world! Being an artist to me is such a beautiful and wonderful gift that we all share. I think the best thing that we can do for ourselves is to believe in our gift everyday, nuture it as much as we can and be grateful for it as well. But believing in our creative selves is the best Christmas gift we can give to US!:)

I hope all of you have a beautiful holiday and are with your families sharing lots of love! Thank you to everyone who has stopped by to say hello and to leave a message of encouragement and friendship! I am so appreciative for all of you!!

Merry Christmas!!:)

Love,

Michelle:)

LOOKING FOR LOVE!:)

Happy Monday everyone! I finally got a little "me" time in this morning and had a little creative time to myself! It felt so good! I was thinking ahead to the new year and what new sketches, ideas and fun things I would like to do with my art! One of them is new Valentines Day stamp images! I have been drawing Kissing Couples and hearts all over my sketchbook lately so I think I may have to work on a Valentines image soon!:)

I hope you like my little Kissing Couple and you have someone at home to kiss and cuddle with for Valentines Day and everyday!!:)

Hope your day is filled with love always!:)

POCAHONTAS SKETCH

Happy Thursday, everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful week and are getting ready for the big day!!:)

I drew this sketch of Pocahontas a few days ago and have been wanting to do an image of her. I think it would be a great piece, with a message of strength to go along with it.

I went to the bank today and they always have daily quotes and this one was posted today, it was a quote from Pocahontas!!:) So that made me realize I needed to make this post even more! Here is her quote, I hope you enjoy it!!:

"You think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you. But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew you never knew."

Have a great day, everyone!!:)

NEW MERMAID SKETCH

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Cant believe that Christmas is only a little over two weeks away! I know we are all feeling a little extra stress this time of year so I am making sure that I get at least some "me" time in each day! I have to at least find a little time to sketch everyday even if its just for 5 minutes. I had the most wonderful sketch pop up in my sketchbook this morning. It was very early and quiet, usually the perfect time for wonderful things to happen!!:)

This little mermaid showed up on the page this morning, out of nowhere and I am really loving her and cant wait to make her into a stamp! I think she will make a cute one! I dont have a name for her yet, so maybe a name that mermaid stamp might be fun!!:)

Hope you are all getting your well deserved creative time in today, its so important!!
