Paint Party Friday
and
Art Journal Journey
What I want
Cupcake to know that I didn't learn
until later in life is that you can create any lifestyle
you want and attract those like minded people to you.
In
her late twenties I want her to know that everyone has a
great gift! I want her to understand the importance of heeding
your calling, so you can understand the true joy of life!
I want Cupcake to understand that our gifts won't
necessarily parallel others.That they can be simple
quiet gifts or a loud boisterous callings. No matter what,
they will be suited to our individual style. They
will define our essence!

This is my original painting! See all the digital fun I had below! |

Most people feel comfortable the moment they enter
our whimsical colorful house. It's a beautiful loving place,
where many people have divulged secrets they could share
no where else. Even though it can be difficult to carry those
secrets it's an honour that people
feel safe here.
It's a place of safety. Of love and understanding. We
aren't athletes, or fitness junkies. We're not fastidious
about keeping our home perfect every moment!
We tend to let things go too long. We have very lazy days.
However, we cook well, we laugh lots and we talk about
world issues and care about human beings!
Even though we can all be very fun in social situations
we are all creative introverts. I used to think I was
eccentric with my love of color.I have adjusted that
thinking to following my true nature as an artist,
or woman who likes to create!

Not everyone can cook well. Goodness knows I'm
not a conventional artist who can draw everything I see.
I am a woman who as a little girl awoke every morning
wanting to color! I am the young girl who spent her
allowance on a pair of sunglasses that had several
different colored lenses she could alternate.

drove her mum around the bend! I'm a young adult who
painted every room in her home a cohesive bold color!
I'm the thirty five year old who wore big colorful bows
made out of scarves in her hair.Now I am a lady in
black with a colorful patterned cane who finally
knows who she is!
I used to take my
gifts for granted thinking everyone could
cook, write, or share wisdom or budget like I could!
Attached to that kind of thought was judgement!
Thankfully I came to the realization that not everyone
shares the same gifts!
I have an adventurous friend who introduces you to
places and things you'd never imagine.I have
another who remembers ever single date and event in
sequence, she's like a memory machine with an amazing
sense of humour! Another friend can always find
an interesting wise solution to any difficult problem.
Dreamer that's you!
I have a friend who is a sounding board and no matter
what you tell her she's judgement free and helpful. I have
one who is a creative champion and inspires everyone
in her midst to create something! Cupcakes mother
in law who has ten children is a baby whisperer
who can calm the most discontented baby or toddler.
Life is more exciting and full when we amalgamate
all our gifts and share with the world those special
things only we can do! I have changed perspectives
with my gifts and others have changed me with theirs!
What are some of your unique gifts you take for granted?
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends!!
I love Sue Kreitzmans story and Art Attitude!

Wonderful post today! Your art is full of colour, wonderful! I too would love her art coat. Umm, One of my gifts is being a good listener and seeing beyond the obvious.
Happy Canada Day to you.
Love your post and your art Giggles. I think we are all special in our own way and as the years go on we discover more about ourselves. Am happy in my skin, but its taken a while to feel that way.
Happy PPF, Annette x

Your collection is always such fun, great characters as always here! It's so god to feel good within yourself and appreciate who and what you are, that in itself is a gift!
That's a great message for your daughter. And great art to go along with it. :)
Always a theme to ponder on your amazing blog, Sherrie. Your digital changes are beautiful. Love the original and the great colors.
For some reason, I don't think the first comment made it through. Just wanted to say that I always look forward to your post on PPF. You always give us something worthwhile to ponder while showing us your colorful art with all the beautiful variations.
Love your witch painting! SO vibrant and bold! Wonderful post, too and happy PPF!

Wonderful fun characters again this week, and it sure shows you had fun with digital altering :-) I find it fascinating to discover how different people are good in different things. And how they often don't realize that it's a gift ...
Colour, lazy days, good cooking and laughter? - I'm flying over now!
Apart from Twitchy, your ladies look pensive today, but I love them both - and Twitchy of course.
I really like your leaves and the creative way you have made patterns with them.
I always love to visit your place Giggles because not only do you have a feast for the eyes with your vibrant, beautifully colourful creations but also your wise words.
The leaf designs are exquisite.
Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Happy PPF to you xoxo
Oops forgot to say
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours xoxo
What an empowering post!! I love the description of your view of the wired through colour changing lenses...I feel empowered to go do some painting now...even tho it is half ten in the evening!!!
I really try to embrace all my God given gifts and share them with the world… especially with my students. I also enjoy helping others find and embrace their own gifts. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Sue in her video, because I found her very inspirational. Thanks for your words of encouragement on my blog. Blessings, my friend!
Great post to remind us of our unique gifts! Wonderful artwork!
I really love your paintings today, the leaves are my favorite!
It took me 48 years to realize i was an artist, and another 5 to start calling myself one. Isn't life strange and wonderful at the same time?
Great artwork and what a fabulous topic you have covered!
xo
You are a very lucky lady to not only have a great daughter and son-in-law, but to have a colorful house and such amazing friends. I hope your daughter listens to you too because you sound like you have lot of very good wisdom to share. Love your ladies this week too!
what a fabulous pst filled with gifts... i always find reading your posts are a bit like poetry as there is a rhythm to your words and images... and you are wise and creative and interesting... happy thanksgiving to you and the glorious creatures who share your colourful house...xx
home is a place where I can make stuff, bake stuff and a place where friends are welcome..its not a tidy place but then who want to live in a show house but in a home where family feel safe and comfortable watching the autumn rain outside off to check that art video out thanks for sharing
Love your post as always. Love the colors and the fun you had with the digital altering. I would agree with you that a happy, loving, creative, safe house is much more important than an always clean one.
Fantastic message! Love the characters too
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and art! I am wordless. I love your colorful art and your shared thaughts:) I wish you all good !
Beautiful art and wisdom. I am determined to starve my comparison monster to death, though it does try to rear its ugly head quite regularly.
Blessing hugs,
Teresa
Love the witch! You do have such a creative eye for color and such a kindness in your heart. I enjoy your posts!
Wonderful paintings and I love what you did with it digitally, but the best thing is Sue and her artsy Kinono´s....they look amazing, did´nt they?! ♥ Conny

Aweeeee, no fair! How can I comment first on your beautifully bold and colorful art and art patterns, when your writing is making me tear up! I LOVE your posts, each and every one makes me think, and I can only imagine having a wonderful time in your home too. Thank you for sharing your spirit with us, I wonder how many people are comforted by it. LOVE your little girl in her chunky sweater too ;) xoxo
Inspiring & joyful! Thank you for such the spiritual lift!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Sherrie. You have a wonderful talent for writing too. It also reminds me of poetry as your words have a rhythmic pattern to them-:)
Hugs
Susan
Lovely use of patterns, full of positivity! Thank you for sharing and happy PPF!
I adore your paintings! Great post too.
I especially adore your leaves--there's something magical about them. Just gorgeous--your faces make me smile too, my Friend! (grin)
What a joy to see these faces and colorful patterns!
Wonderful advice. The art is beautifully connected to the story. I love the video. I always wanted to grow into my 'own' as she did. Blessings, Janet PPF
