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!
<>< - I believe in being good.
