"Out Of Her Shell"

This open edition print can be viewed larger and purchased at http://www.wildoaksart.com/OutOfHerShell.htm
Thanks for viewing!
We all clam-up at times, hide from the world, are reluctant to show our true selves...but oh, the buoyant lightness of being when we come out of our shell!
Just finished this piece for the Ocean Fantasies Art Show over at FAE Forum!
------------------------------------------
I just finished a rather large soap order that had my nose to the grindstone--no nose left!, plus website techie problems that had me pulling my hair out.....I'm way behind on journaling.
But a quick hullo for now and more soon...including that soap sale I promised!

Sometimes I amaze myself with my DUH-ness!

I am notorious for multi-tasking.....flitting between stuff I'm in the middle of at any given moment. However multi-tasking is really only a worthy talent when you do it EFFECTIVELY......



I was carrying my load of orders to-go-out to the front porch for my mail carrier guy to pick up and smelled the most wonderful scent on the air---just like roasting pumpkins! And who doesn't LOVE the smell of roasting pumpkins??? :::aaaaahhhh!!!::: Made several trips and got all the packages out. The pumpkin scent continued to grow STRONGER! HMMMM! Delicious! Got me thinking about Halloween already as my mind skipped-ahead past a hot summer in-store to my most favorite season--autumn! Went back to cleaning up the workshop...and still that wonderful pumpkin scent grew STRONGER STILL! Who the heck is roasting pumpkins in June?, I thought.



Well DUH me, I went in the house and it was a pot of peas & carrots I'd put on the stove to boil for lunch and the water had all boiled away! Isn't it when you start doing stuff like that, that your kids put a leash on you and take away stove privileges??? :::gulp::: Honest Folks...I'm not luzenit...yet! Just too many things going on at once. Next time I shall set a timer, I promise!



But FYI...if you ever want to enjoy the heavenly scent of Halloween pumpkins roasting in June or whenever...burn a pot of peas & carrots! LOL! My helpful tidbit for the day.....

New Art!

Gosh....I know I'm dreadfully behind in posting blog updates and I do apologize. I'll do a soap and art update soon, including a sale on summer soaps! Be on the look-out! :)
In the meanwhile, here's a new piece titled "Moon Potion"! I hope you like her! You know how sometimes the moon possesses you and makes you conjure up all kinds of interesting things?!?!?! *wink*
