A New Day Dawn

I awoke this morning from fabulous dreams that filled me with ideas for new creative endeavors. Today is an exciting day for me. After I woke up and gave Kate a big hug goodbye, I started getting some last minute things together for my weekend workshop with Claudine Hellmuth. As I was grabbing my camera I just had to head out to the porch and snap a few shots of the sunrise and the glorious light this time of morning. It has been beautiful weather here. Still no frost so my flowers are still blooming. Look at the lovely little lady bug nestled in for a sunny nap. It is wonderful the discoveries you can happen upon when you take the time to slow down and take in the simple things we often pass by during our business of life.
So as I get ready to leave Brian, Kate, and I can't forget Buddy (who enjoyed having me outside for my little photo shoot that he was barking for me to comeback out to play with him) for my weekend, I want to take a moment to mention a giveaway. Gina Lee Kim, my partner in creative discovery this weekend, is giving away one of her fab paintings. Please check her out and you might win this little beauty.

Hope your weekend is filled with creativity!
