Another folksy old saying that reminds me of Dad. I sentimentally saved his Rolodex and have made a 100 day project of collecting encouragement and positive thoughts into it, like Dad used to offer. 75 down and 25 more to be shared daily in my stories. Do you have any favorite old sayings that make you smile? 
A rustic $5 frame, put together with the help of my handy husband! A length of cedar, wood glue and some screws works just fine for this country girl art! Feeling resourceful! š§š»āš§š¤

Delivering āFlambeāed Pearsā to an upcoming exhibition today. Itās always so exciting to attend the opening and see all the wonderful artwork. Even when itās virtual! šš· 
I sure do enjoy stretching my own canvases! Iām not sure why because it isnāt all that much cheaper. I think it just makes me feel so capable! š§š»āš§ 
The first in a series that has been following me around, whispering in my ear for the past couple years. Having to do with the quiet courage of women. At different times Iāve thought of the series as āWomen Warriorsā, āWhat Women Doā and currently, āWomenās Workā āCowgirl Upā, is inspired by Trish Bagley, my sister in law and sister of my heart. Sheās just that authentic and capable - always at your elbow when needed. Everyone should be so lucky as to have such a badass cowgirl riding shotgun for them!
