Art?!


I thought of a wonderful idea turning a cheesy painting into something new. I got the idea from a artist named Wayne White who used to work on Peewees Playhouse as one of the creators. I watched a documentary about him is was very interesting though he is a little odd (what artist isn't odd). He takes cheesy paintings and paints random things on them like this one below.


P.S I'm hoping to make more and sell them on my Etsy shop one day.

For The Love Of Austen!


Like most romantics I love Jane Austen. My introduction to her was the Pride and Prejudice series in 1995 by BBC with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. Then I went and read the book right away and loved it. In my 20s I found Persuasion and loved the book but it wasn't until BBC remade it in 2007 that I loved the movie. My favorite book and movie by Jane Austen is Persuasion and then Pride and Prejudice. Sorry Jane Austen but I find Sense and Sensibility hard to read but I love the Ang Lee version (ironically also released in 1995) There is a couple of her books that I haven't read yet but they are on my giant reading list on Goodreads. I have read the Marvel comics and loved the story's (of course) but the art is also great. I'm not so crazy that I like everything Jane Austen like the many rewrites and modernizing of her story's. I've given a couple of them a try but it was all kinds of wrong.



You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone for ever. -Captain Wentworth

 In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. -Mr.Darcy

Moving Home

After seven years of marriage and living in the city my husband has finally agreed to move back to our home town. I'm beyond excited its exactly what I need. Its the end of night shift and a bigger newer place with tons of my family around. We have been back for 2 months now and it has been great. Though work is still a little stressful the rest has been great. Here's some photos from my new home.
