  Trusted Thursday

Wow, is it Thursday already??  How did that happen??  I have been busy over the past couple of days / weeks/ months / years and somehow life has passed me by.  

Some months back I was lucky to meet this wonderful Artist -  

Win Charles.  Her story and her art is one of survival.  As I have gotten to know her better I see such a wonderful 'spark' of life in her that it is hard not to smile at every 'comment', 'note' and 'photo' that I get from her.  Please visit her Fan Page, her shop  and her website....read more about her and see the BEAUTIFUL work she does.  I am a friend, fan and also a collector of her art!  

Enjoy your Trusted Thursday and make it a GREAT one for yourself and those around you.  ~KM

As many of you know, my internet and I have been waging a war.  I hope that I am winning the war, but I am really not sure at this moment!!  Yesterday I am unable to do my regular Wednesday post because of this problem.  So, today I thought I would feature a WONDERFUL artist to make up for it, Katerina Art..  The witch is mine, but you are welcome to look at some of her other BEAUTIFUL work.  

I hope your Trusted Thursday is a good one, please make sure to TRUST someone today!  ~KM

This TRUSTED THURSDAY I am very proud to show off a friend of mine's artwork.  Although she often puts out there that she is disabled (she has cerebral palsy) I have told her over and over that her artwork will speak for itself.  When I see some of the photos she take, paintings she paints and mixed media she works in.....I am totally amazed.  Win is a very talented artist and 'trust' me, her work is very unique and beautiful.  

I ordered these cards with her artwork on them and I have to say.....beautiful!  I have already sent out several of them and almost everyone has sent me a note about how beautiful they are.  I have also done a custom design for her based on her artwork....please check out all her sites and let her know what you think....I love it!!

TRUST yourself first!  ~KM

Yesterday was a very productive day for me.  I cleaned, did regular house work, beaded and still found time to play with my kids!!!!  I also listed several new items in my shop (look at the photos to the right) and caught up on many of my LATE emails and friend requests. 

I also celebrated a huge benchmark with my Link Love'n friends.....I now have over 1,300 Face Book Fans and over 900 Etsy Hearts!!  This to me is just unbelievable.  Every time I look at those numbers I just find my jaw on the floor.  Talk about an 'ego' booster!!  

Today I found this wonderful and very unique shop on Etsy to feature.  Dragon Bee's shop is full of mixed media artwork and her story is very inspiring.  She states that she has known since she was 5 that this is what she wanted to do with her life - ART.  Amazing.  Please check out her shop and let her know what you think.....remember, heart, convo and maybe even purchase something to show your support.  

Enjoy your wonderful Trusted Thursday!  ~KM

Finally, it is Thursday!  This week has goon by so slowly, thing have been very quiet here.  I wanted to find something for my Trusted Thursday's post that would bring up all of our spirits.  This time of the year seems to be one of the 'longest' We are all done with the holidays, most of us are tired of the cold and yet spring seems to be a long way away!  So today I found Valentina Design's shop.  Bright, colorful and very inspirational....who could ask for more?  Please check out this wonderful shop and let her know what you think...remember, heart, convo and purchase if you can.

After sleeping away most of the day yesterday, and taking some meds my doctor gave me, I feel a bit better.  Today I WILL BEAD!  I feel like I had withdraws yesterday, I only beaded about 30 minutes - ALL DAY!! 

Looking around Etsy I found this wonderful shop called 6 Time Momma (At Close Range Photography) and I have to say, I was taken in the moment I saw this photograph.  I can't think of a better way to say 'trust' than having babies feet in dad's hands.  Once I looked around her shop I found so many others that I liked (she even has dragonflies) that it was hard to choose, but I just kept coming back to this one...so.... 

Have a great Trusted Thursday and 

make it the best one so far!  ~KM

Looking around Etsy for more ACEO's for my collection I found this wonderful artist, Ida Larsen Fantasy Art Prints (Mizzdraconia's Shop).  I found a couple of ACEO's I just HAD to have along with this wonderful piece of artwork.  I know that it is called 'The Dream', but for me it looks like a 'Trusted Thursday' type of issue! :)  Please check out these wonderful prints and originals and let Ida Larsen know what you think of her work...remember, convo, heart and purchase... thank you and ENJOY!!  ~KM

This Trusted Thursday's post is a little late, but, there was a good reason.....over the last few days I have had a leak in my radiator of my Jeep.  My hubby and I were just sure it was just a leak in the tubes, well, it wasn't.  After dropping my Jeep off at the mechanic I got a call that informed that it will be about $350.00 for the fix.  Oh my!  But, then when I got home I found out that I had not just one sale, but two!!!  Happy Dance!!  I sold my Rose Bracelet and my Ladybug Bracelet both to the same lady, ya hoooooo!  

So, back to the featured artist, I found this wonderful photograph from Jen Murray Photography that just seemed perfect.  With my own dog sitting in the window as we speak, I can only say, i love this photo!  Please check out her shop and let her know what you think.  Enjoy your Trusted Thursday and try to remember, trust yourself to be creative!!! ~KM
