No Text Tag!  Text tag or Toe tag?    
I have been with my son and on occasion he uses his phone when driving.. looking at and responding to a text.  I explain how much it bothers me - he is my one son and I read, see about it accidents all the time now.  I don't' want him hurt.
I have watched others do it as well - Adults.  Many of them.

Rather than words I've made these little tags.
I'm going to carry them in my purse and when I see or am with a driver  who uses their phone - I'm going to hang a tag of their rear view mirror ;)   I can imagine the response now.  It's something.   I hope
I've included a free download for you to do the same.  
Moms & dads put them in the car the kids are using and visa versa.
                  CLICK on this LINK for the PDF to download and print your own tags.

I also suggest writing on the back a simple I love you.
Sometimes they need that simple reminder.

​I love you...    we all need that little reminder sometimes. 

It's Friday! Not that it means much to me- it's another great day to paint. 
​Have a terrific weekend - no matter what you do. 

Have Faith

Recently one of the girls at the coffee shop 'Brittany', mentioned she wanted some help with a 'cut out/face in the hole'  she was making of her moms birthday - I offered my assistance of course!   I love making these things! The wood was brought over primed (Brittany's grandma did that, I met her at the coffee shop a few days earlier & instantly liked the woman) then I just started to draw *after a few moments on PIN ;)  and came up with this Hawaiian style head in a hole!  The girls were amazed that I could "just draw it like that'  lol.  

Practice, practice, practice... &   Thank you God, for my gift. 

Jessie, Brittany, Storm & Poppy all helped!  The deal was: I draw, they then color in the lines and then we all added some details here & there!  Every photo I see cracks me up! I can't help but smile ( I hope you do too!) 
It only took a day and we had many laughs & interesting conversations as well.

It was nice to spend the day speaking with the girls, I didn't get the chance to really speak to Brittany on our short visit to the coffee shop- what a confident, beautiful young woman who makes me think-- she's gonna be a 'get the fuck out of my way woman!' YaaaaHoooo!  lol 
I really enjoyed painting a Tiki for the first time and will make one - decorative for the pool area- a totem - just for fun.  Note this Tiki has a hole lower in the totem for a face but if only two people - the face pops back in! 

These are very easy to make & are great for all kinds of events.  This one was a gift to Brittany's mom I guess you could say! It was a fun day I was more than happy to help and it inspired a 'tiki totem' for the pool.. coming soon...

Yesterday we stated our little paint lessons book!  It was a great afternoon we tried contour painting, sketching in the garden and then painting  effects.. all from my newest Craftsy class btw! Illustrated natural journalling-  this teacher is terrific!    Take an online class! Expand your mind instead of wasting it watching others live on FB  or any social media for that matter.  Everything in moderation.  
I was watching a friend right now on FB having a meltdown and it's not nice-  it made me sign off for a bit.. I wan't to send a message saying 'stay the fuck off for the sake of your health!'  I just might...   do something creative!!

Today I'm working on a new cannabis cartoon Storm gave the idea for.. simple yet factual. 
Tomorrow, new art.

Have faith- it will all work out.
xox - love yourself and tell others too!
