Tonight was the Fort Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Business Awards Gala.
As I mentioned before I was nominated in 4 categories and was a finalist for Home Based Business of the Year. Tonight I had the pleasure of bringing the trophy home!
So excited and honored. I’ve loved working in the community and creating for and with so many wonderful people!
Thank you for believing in me and supporting my Home Based Business!

I had the pleasure of being featured in the Chamber of Commerce Women in Business October News letter.

People ask me all the time where my inspiration comes from and it can be the simplest thing…today on this Good Friday it was the snow.
I was reminded that Jesus died for my sins on a cross in a most cruel manner spilling his blood, giving his life for me. Let me tell you most sincerely that “I” didn’t deserve it and honestly there’s been times in my life that I didn’t want it. I didn’t want the son of God’s blood on my hands. I didn’t want to be the source of his suffering. But most of all I didn’t want to let HIM down again by screwing up.
But here’s the thing. Jesus didn’t stay dead. It wasn’t in vain. It wasn’t death and that’s it. He conquered death, He washed sin away so that I could know Him, have a relationship with Him, walk my life with Him. You can’t do that with a dead man only one that’s truly Alive. God knows that I’m not perfect, He knows that the whole “Free Will” thing will still get me into trouble. But my mistakes aren’t the end. He gave up His life for me out of love not to abandon me when I screw up next, but to help show me a better way. This overwhelming Love and True Forgiveness is what makes me so Thankful that He remembered ME. While he hung there dying in pain on that cross WE were in His thoughts, in His heart. WE were why He died and I thank Him for it.
In a world where true unconditional love seems like a fairy tale it’s hard to accept, but my life is testimony that it exists. He took my brokeness like these stain glass pieces and He put me back together, He washed my sins white as snow and made ME a new creation, a wonderful made piece of Art that Hopefully like light through glass will reflect His Love to others and for that reason I will gladly and humbly accept His Blood on my Hands ❤
Happy Easter
Let’s ignore the fact that I haven’t posted for awhile….
I’ve been fairly busy on a teaching and creating kick must be that new hand 😉
This is one of my newest classes and artistic endeavors. I’ve been on a 3D Mixed media kick lately. I’ll be offering it again in 2017.
So here let me flood you with some pictures of what I’ve been doing these last months. The advertised piece is complete and the rest are one layer away from being finished.
I seem to be in good standing with my artist muses as of late so pardon me while I get back to it 😉
Shoot me a msg on my Facebook page to take advantage of this gem of a deal 🎨
Cheers
May your days & nights be creative 🖌
