A cold wind was blowing from the North....

this week on SPA our theme is WINTER IS HERE ... it was tempting to use the GOT quote... Winter is coming but it's already here. lol

Here is my postcard... it was SO difficult to find images relating to WINTER than had nothing to do with Christmas!

I am not sick. I am broken.

 But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.

This week on Sunday Postcard Art the theme is FRIDA KAHLO.... such a wonderful inspiration to many of us. Such a strong, positive woman.

im hoping to start this year as I mean to go on... making lots of artwork.

happy sunday

Dashing through the snow....

no snow just yet, thank goodness. Blustery and cold is enough for me.

This week, on SPA the theme is JINGLE BELLS ... a quaint little Christmas song... however I always end up with the Batman smells version in my  head instead of the real words lol

Here's mine, made using a victorian scrap image. These images speak to my soul

have a wonderful week

wow what a month

A whole month has passed since I last blogged... I really must must MUST blog at least once a week. It seems blogging is taking a backseat because of all the other social media we post to. It's so easy just to share a picture to Instagram or Facebook.But I enjoy blogging and so want to make more effort.

Postcards I've made but have been too late to upload for the SPA challenge

I made this canvas for someone special

Here at Octopode Towers we have fostered two small disabled dogs. They are from Romania and have small disabilities

thanks for sticking with me.

lots of love
