In the Sandbox

Belonging to yourself…

I used to have a post that was Sketchbook Saturday, because I draw like crazy on Saturdays. That’s probably why I love Saturdays so much. I’ve been feeling lately like my blog has lost its way a bit and has had less of me in it. And it dawned on my when I woke up this morning, “Hello! It’s YOUR blog!” So I am reclaiming it. And I want to play. And share. And invite you into my giant sandbox. Most of my stuff in my sketchbook has a purpose because I collect little pieces here and there for fun ways to teach. They make their way into books or classes, most the time. And hopefully, I will inspire you to make your own drawings.

Sketchbook Saturday on a Monday

I know. I used to have Sketchbook Saturday, but I switched the dates. A gal can change her mind. I’ve been drawing on Saturday, but posting on Monday now. Here’s what I’ve been working on.

Sketchbook Saturday: fancy little drawings

I’ve been working on a few books right now including the sequel to HELP! I’M SENSITIVE, YOUR TURTLE SHELL. Designing the book is just as fun as writing the book for me. I’ve been playing with little essay headers.

Spiritual lessons with fun art. Pages from my art journal shared on Saturdays.

Last week was about shifting old beliefs and perceptions.

It’s my R is for Roses from the Healing Fairy Alphabet.

I love roses! When I moved here to my fairy castle I was pleasantly surprised to find several rose bushes in my yard. At the time, I really needed healing on all levels and just being by the Roses I am convinced has helped me. Roses lift us up from whatever pain, bad mood, or circumstance we are facing and give us a higher perspective so we can think again and see things clearly. Can you pick up some roses today to help you heal?

(I was so happy with the finished card, I used it for my header image!)

And now for something completely different…

Because my “thing” is art coupled with mini lessons, I’ve started Sketchbook Saturday. The best way to hear your animals with animal communication? Through your love connection and LISTENING. Quiet your mind to hear their voices.
