  Gosh, I've been such a terrible blogger. My own birthday celebration has been derailed. My normally loquacious person has been silenced by the everyday mundaneness of life. I don't know what happened to the rest of last week's days but they sped by l...

  Posted on Monday June 16th, 2008 at 09:00 in collage, canvas, art supplies, altered, creative therapy

  I'm loving my stint as a Creative Therapy Designer. It 'forces' me to create, even when I feel my muse is gone, that I have no talent or that I just have nothing to contribute. Thanks to all those who commented on my posts when I was feeling down an...
