Profile

Location:: Rock Island, IL

About Me:: I am an artist/crafter, teacher and graphic designer. I have a husband and 2 Siberian Huskies. I work full time at a hotel front desk and do artsy things in all my spare time. I'm brand new to Etsy and hoping to supplement my income with a few sales now and then. But I mostly just love being creative. It invigorates me, whether it sells or not. And I love to wear and use my own creations and give them as gifts. My world is colorful and full of possibility (but not perfect, oh no). I think of money only as a means to survive in this world. If I have a little extra now and then, that is nice but I refuse to let it affect my happiness one way or the other. Too many beautiful things in life are absolutely free!

Gender:: Gal

I am a/an:: Independent Artist/Designer, Blogger, Shopper, Independent Retailer

(Designers only) I create:: Anything graphic design for print or display and also web graphics and simple web design (see www.shalomscottagehome.com for more on my GD services). For my own personal pleasure, I create art/design prints and greeting cards as well. I also design and make jewelry, totes, pillows, journals, etc.

Favorite Music/Musicians:: Vicky Beeching, Avalon, Michael W Smith, Jana Long, Point of Grace, Bethany Dillon, Casting Crowns, basically just really great and upbeat Christian Contemporary. Also branching out into Jazz now - bought a Michael Buble CD I really love

Favorite TV Show & Movies:: Shows: finding myself addicted to Gossip Girl and Cashmere Mafia lately (I'm stuck at a hotel front desk for hours each night with the TV on, so...yeah). Anything on HGTV and occassionally the Travel channel, if they're going somplace exotic. Movies: Sense and Sensibility, Pirates of the Carribean (1), The Prince and Me, While You Were Sleeping, Under Tuscan Sun, Pride and Prejudice (A&E series), hmmm...I'll think of more later

Continuing with the Spring theme . . . I just polished off this little girl (it's definitely a girl) at approximately 4am this morning. The tree was part of an old graphic I had done for my website a whil… Continue

Welcome, Songbirds!

In the absence of anything truly relevant to share with you, artwise (too many other necessities of life have gotten in the way of my creativity lately, filing taxes, a really dirty house, Easter activities), I thought I'd show an old favorite of mine. I painted this with waterc… Continue

Don't Walk Too Fast!

(Photo courtsey of freefoto.com) "Life is a journey", they always say. So why do we only see how far away our next "destination" is? I'm as guilty of this as anyone, so I thought I'd come up with a list of little ways to recognize what makes… Continue
