"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!

ON THE WAY TO A DREAM

Shopping for journals has become one of my new favorite things lately. I now have a creative success journal, an affirmation journal and an abundance journal.

I was in Staples about a month and saw this one on the shelf and it begged me to take it home! I had to have it but really wasnt sure why until a few days ago.

I am so connected to the meaning of this quote now and have been for a year but never knew why.

For the last year or so, I have been having the same conversation with my creative soulmate, Jamie, about going in another creative direction. But I have always felt that I would be abandoning my little fairy and mermaid friends that I have so lovingly spent so much love and time with for the last 5 years marketing and creating my line. I felt I would be giving up on my original dream of selling my prints and cards with these images on them.

Jamie assured me that I can do both but it hasnt really sunk in until now. I am grateful for hearing her voice and for believing that its okay for me to do other creative things, in fact, it's healthy. Change is good!

So I will still be working on my old and very beloved line of fairies but will ALSO be pursuing a career in rubber stamp designing. I have always wanted to design rubber stamps and so now I will be! Never have been a fan of drawing backgrounds either, so this is perfect for me!

I am so excited to be sharing this with all of you. You are the reason I have never given up on my first dream. I almost have a few times but because of your lovely warmth and support everyday for my work, I cant ever fail. Just one beautiful comment and I know I was meant to do what I am doing right now, to be an artist.

Thank you all, I appreciate every one of you!

Love,

Michelle :)

YOU INSPIRE ME!

I have to tell you all that you have SO inspired me this morning with all of your lovely goals and comments on my last post. Wow, you guys are amazing thank you for sharing your wonderful dreams with us!

To Stefania,
I LOVE your goals, much of them are mine as well! You already ARE a beautiful artist, my friend, :)

To Jennifer,
I already picture all of your lovely work in a childrens book and I know your art will be sought out by publishers everywhere! You are already a beautiful friend!

To Becky,
You already are accomplishing good things with your creativity. It shows in your blog and being a nurse is such a giving profession that we need more of that in this world! Thank you for sharing your lovely goals!

As for me, my goal is to have my art bought world-wide and licensed with a company/companies that will market it all over the world on different high quality products.

I want to share happiness, love and inspiration to the world thru my art.

I would like to be a positive role model for young girls all over the world.

To be in love again and to be married to a wonderful man.

To buy my mother a cute little cottage here in Corona Del Mar.

Thanks you guys for sharing your goals, we need to do that more often. Doesnt it feel great?!?

(Here is a little friendship and encouragement for all of you from "Sisters of Spring")

MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE

I wanted to post "Rosie" today because I have been journaling alot lately about my dreams and goals.

Every one of my dreams is very precious to me and I have decided that I need to take them seriously and actually do more to make them into goals by taking steps to get myself closer to them.

I keep saying that I am going to submit my art to more companies for licensing and haven't done that for a while, so that is going to be my priority along with creating more art of course!

What are your goals? What are your dreams? I'd love to hear! :)
