My stop on the Art at The Speed of Life blog tour!

I'm still pinching myself...

I am so very honored to be a

contributing artist in Pam Carriker's

wonderful new book

Art at The Speed of Life!

I was fortunate enough to "meet" Pam

(we've not actually met in person)

through blogging several years ago when

our blogs were quite new and we were both

submitting art to Stampington for publishing ~

She has always been such an encouraging friend

to me and is an absolutely wonderful artist!!

If you have that burning desire to create something beautiful

always in the back of your mind,

Pam's book will help you achieve this goal

on a daily basis!

Our day-to-day lives are so chock full of household duties,

working to support our families,

we have busy schedules to coordinate

and

so much more...

how in the world can we nuture our creative spirit???

Pam Carriker's book

ART AT THE SPEED OF LIFE

is a gentle guide to help you MAKE time to create!

I love that Pam's artist contributors have different art styles.

The book is filled with so many projects, techniques and ideas that

you'll love experimenting with too ~

And another upcoming book that I've been wanting to tell you about....

Art at The Speed of Life by Pam Carriker!

And a little tidbit about this one....
I have a few pieces of artwork featured inside!!!!

From the description of the book:

The projects are inspiring, yet easy to complete on a tight schedule,

and include techniques such as assemblage, image transfer, and collage.

Can you tell I'm a book freak? :)

Happy Thursday sweeties!!!

hugs and love,

Dawn

They know me well . . .

The other day Brad took Noah (middle son & youngest son)
to a state park nearby just to enjoy the beautiful
fall weather and get out of the house.
I always mention, "look for me some goodies while you're walking!"
just because they know what I love!

These are the treasures they returned with ~
beautiful art supplies...

I wanted to share some wonderful news with you!!!
Pam Carriker is writing her first book ~ Art at the Speed of Life...
and she asked me to be a contributing artist! How amazing is THAT???
She's started a blog to document her experience
creating the book if you'd like to take a look.
It's in the beginning stages so you can follow along!
There are many other contributing artists and
I'm so very honored to be among them ~
thank you so much Pam, you're an angel!


Wishing you a great Tuesday dear friends,
hugs and love,
Dawn
