Happy Sunday! In my last post I told that I love art that has little houses in it. It seems I also love art that has sailboats in it too. I have never been on a sailboat and know nothing about navigating

Surprise! I'm back again, like a bad penny! 😄 Let me tell you all the exciting things I have been doing since I last posted. ... ****crickets chirping*** ... ha ha... yes, that's about it. Still, I've

Hello again! I'm back with some of my practice art pieces. That's how to learn, right? Over and over, discovering what might be good for later and what might NOT be good for later. For me, it is the doing

Well.... here I am again! Yeah, it's me, Jacey! What do you mean I've been quiet so long you don't remember me. LOL... ok.. that's fair. You know what I've been doing? Same thing I'm always doing, working

It's Valentine's day, sunny and 57 degrees outside. Feels like a heat wave compared to the last few weeks. It did seem odd that Friday 13th fell the day before. I guess if you survived all the black cats

A Blustery Hello to Ya ! I say that because here, it is an extremely blustery day. Two weeks ago we had a sleet storm. It put down several inches of ice. Because it was extremely cold at the time, there

Hello! What you been up too since I was here last week? What do you mean that is NOMB???? LOL....well, you don't have to tell all the sordid parts of what you've been up too, just the publically acceptable

Yesterday was my birthday. I'm a full 69 years old now. What??? It's kind of surreal. I have never been focused on my age. It has not mattered to me for anyone to know my age along the way. I found the

There is about 6 more hours left of 2025 as I type this. I don't have many complaints for 2025. Like life usually goes, there were good things and not so good things, but fortunately, nothing so bad that

Happy Day After ! Are you recovering from all of yesterday's fun today? I don't feel I need recovery myself, but I feel like I am more like basking in the afterglow. So much build up, so much preparation,

When I say Merry Christmas, I am wishing you the very best of all I know and believe. I'm not concerned if you believe the same or not, I'm still wishing you the very best of everything and it's meant

Hello again! It's Monday morning... again, only this one I am off of work, actually, this WHOLE week. I wouldn't mind having a week with nothing to do, but this one will include more baking, gift wrapping

Hello ! I've been having a lot of fun getting ready for Christmas and getting some appointments caught up and working of course. Thankfully, yesterday was my last day of working for a week. It seems like

It's not all about art or Christmas.... this time. 😄 Just a hodge podge of things on this last-minute-taken day off. Our department at work caught up our work and they have had a hard time figuring out

Hello! Now one holiday has passed and it is time to gear up for the next! I love the holiday season. Thanksgiving was day before yesterday. Since my Mom is 92, this is the second year we have not all gathered
