Just Finished! 'Montreat' Martini Glass

Painted for a customer - "Montreat" martini glasses and I painted a surprise Montreat wood bangle bracelet for her as well. She is giving the glasses a thank you gift to a friend for their trip to Montreat - but I wanted her to have something to remember their trip too! So, I painted the bracelet for her. I hope she likes them.
I am off to delivern then rehearsals. I will post better pictures soon. These are from my blackberry. Chow!

Funny! - from rehearsals

I was at rehearsals yesterday for the movie "Three Sisters". This is Jim, the producer talking to us. He is with Ocean Troupe. And yes -- see the cast member behind him sneaking a doze off zZzzzz! He actually started snoring! It was so funny. We all pretended not to notice. ;)
Hugs! Beth

My mom before the eye lift!

Hey - today is the day my mom will be able to see better! This is the "before" picture. It is a simple procedure, they just cut away the extra baggy skin around the eye and LIFT! The best part is medical insurance pays for all of! It is considered medically necessary when you can't see through eye lids! LOL! After the procedure we go right to rehearsals. Can you say wonder woman! Also my wonderful Spanish daughter, Ana - arrived from Madrid last night. She was my exchange student we had several years ago and she has been a part of our family ever since! We love you Ana! I will post the after picture of mom next week so we can see the difference. Hugs- Beth

I did it! I updated my blog! Yippee!

Let me start off by saying I am sorry to all of my blogger friends. I know I have been horrible about my blog. I had to make some choices and put updating my blog in priority order. This is has no reflection on reading your awesome blogs, but it put updating mine at the bottom of the list.

Now, I have to recognize my blessings. I have been very fortunate and have been selling lots of my art to the local community. I have been commissioned for several projects and requested to fill orders on a weekly basis if not daily. Wow!!! Yes, this is a good busy. :-) Also, I have continued my work in the acting world. Aside from working my usual full time job during the day, I have been casted in several theater and film opportunities since my last blog post. I have had the opportunity to work with Page 2 Stage Productions, Ocean Troupe and others. It has been so much fun, and a wild ride! I love it! :-) Last but not least - I love my Paranormal Ghost Hunting team, Ghosts of Georgia . We have had some wonderful opportunities to investigate some very interesting places. In turn this has helped me continue to learn about my sensitive gifts. Very cool! The best result out of this, is using my sensitive gifts in my art. I can't tell you how good it feels when I hand over a painted item to a customer, and they say; "Wow, this is just what I wanted - how did you get inside my head?" Cool huh? :-)

I want to take the time to thank my wonderful Etsy friends. I am blessed to be on both the GA Etsy Team and Original Artists on Etsy. They have been my rock, and so supportive. If you sell on Etsy, please consider joining a team. You won't regret the time spent with these friends. It is a great support network and a wonderful tool to help you learn. You can never stop learning, and this is a great outlet.

If you have not had the chance to become a fan on my Facebook Fan Page - please stop by. http://tinyurl.com/kiwiarts I try to keep pictures updated as much as possible. I also Twitter, you can follow :-) Thanks for continuing to support me and encouraging me to update my blog. I will do this more often, I promise.

Now - I need your good vibes, energy, prayers - whatever you want to call it. Lots of orders to fill this week, a movie to start filming and another one to study, Two different dinner theaters to prepare for, a program to create for a New Dawn Theater Company, and I go back to work (I work in the school system). Did I mention my 5 kids and husband that are so supportive? I am so blessed!

Have a wonderful week everyone - hug your family and be good to yourself. Here are some pictures of one of my latest sales.

Hugs, Beth
