Art Every Day Month Day 21 - Art Movies

Last night was the first time that I sat in my new studio and I loved it. I still have to have a big sort out and get the storage sorted but that can wait for another day....I'm just going to sit and think today!


I think my daughter is very much like me and taken over the house with art stuff...

My Youtube clip of the day is French and Saunders - Art Critic


My card for the day was Retreat (perfect card for the day)


it said..Spend time alone in quite thought. Clear your mind, and focus on your truth and priories. Are you pushing yourself to hard? The angels remind us that rest is a natural cycle in everything. Think of the mighty oak tree that grows in spurts and then rests. It draws nourishment from deep within the earth and takes time before growing upward again. It is important for you to nourish yourself with spiritual and emotional food. While you are resting, take time to reflect on your true hearts desires. Desire to make a difference in the world.

Art Every Day Month Day 9 - Numbers

11 RULES FOR LIFE ONE - Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO - Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE - Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. FOUR -  When you say, "I love you," mean it. FIVE - When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. SIX - Be engaged at least six months before you get married. SEVEN - Believe in love at first sight. EIGHT - Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. NINE - Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. TEN - In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. ELEVEN - Don't judge people by their relatives.

Art Every Day Month Day 19 - My Romance

I have a few topics that I have been thinking about but they can wait, 'cause I want to write about me and my man. In his spare time (edit by shaughan: spare???) Shaughan loves to read fiction books (only written by men), watch 'man' movies and play live and online Texas Holdem' (currently he is banned from this by me). When he is in a social mood he likes to drink coffee, smoke ciggies, debate about politics and play his guitar. He hates mowing the lawns, being told off,  putting the rubbish out, and that I'm always right. Yes, he has the t shirt and fortunately a great sense of humour! This is Shaughan's favourite photo of him and Ralph. Shaughan is one of the most talented people I have ever met! He can talk to anyone and everyone, fix any computer , creates amazing websites , knows all about rugby and accounting, leaves me for dust with his writing and grammar skills. He could sell any type of car or really anything for that matter, and has an unbelieva
