Me-n-Elvis

Let your freak flag fly high!!

I just love the randomness of life and the colorful people who live it full out.  I love this man!!  Elvis put on this outfit and went out in public to have fun, make people feel good and who cares what else!  He sure made me smile and I enjoyed watching him brighten the lives of others.  Let's all do that as often as possible and let Elvis continue to inspire us. 

Gnarly Dude

This super old adobe house was in Tubac, AZ.  I visit this town once a year in the winter and I am always amazed at the ominous nature of the forest in winter there.  It is so woven and intertwined mesquite trees and such.  It strikes an emotion in me no other place I visit does. 

Majesty in Motion Poster

This poster will be available for sale through the Tubac Festival of the Arts even being held February 5-9th.  I even get to sign 300 of them!!  I found this on the Tubac Chambers website at  http://www.tubacaz.com/tubac-festival-of-the-arts/ It features a gorgeous running coyote that was painted on reclaimed airplane metal from a hanger in Mesa, AZ.  Wahoooo

Patience is a Cigar Box Virtue

This sweet child met me this summer in Jackson, Wy. at an art festival and absolutely fell in love with my fabulous reclaimed cigar box purses.  Much to her dismay her mom would not let her get one at the time and found out I would be in Albuquerque at the Balloon Fiesta art festival and she'd have to wait.  Her mom told me she had mentioned me and the purse several times after.  They came to the Balloon Fiesta and hunted me down and mom was relieved to find me needless to say!  Yippeee she picked a great one, Mexican Wolf with a woven pop top strap and all!!

Crested Butte Schools Permanent Art Collection

This photo represents the first two pieces of art added to Crested Buttes Schools permanent collection.  I am so grateful "Universe of Peace" was chosen to be one of the first!  The panel was 4 students from 5th grade to seniors who walked the show and picked out the art to be hung in their school.  This is Juliette (who helps run the festival) on the left who was making the official presentation of what they purchased and the kids who chose on the right.  What fun and a first for me! 

Meg Has a New Home

Just found out a couple days ago Meg now has a forever home with a fabulous new family.  And they lived happily ever after, the end! 

Please adopt a dog named Meg

I was in the parking lot of my hotel in Topeka, Kansas when this gorgeous four legged girl came up to greet me.  She was interested in being my friend but with distance at first.  She followed me into the lobby of the hotel and we became immediate bffs playing for over an hour.  No tags, no collar, no trace.  Roger, the hotels sales manager and my other new bff is a huge advocate for animals.  He heard of our new friend and drove an hour out of his way to pick her up and bring her to the humane society and promptly named her Meg.  She is sooooo sweet and has not been adopted yet.  My heart is heavy thinking of her.  I thought it might help so share this story, maybe you know someone in Topeka who wants an adorable new bff.  I sure hope so.  Roger, thanks for all your visits, treats, and walks with Meg.  How can you resist this face?
