I will be changing the layout frequently because I’m obsession with new ideas lol. But it looks damn good for me doing it myself. I’m so proud.

I haven’t had any time at all to write in here. I have been crazy busy at work, home, and Etsy. I finally got all of my Christmas shopping done but am still waiting on 4 items from Ebay to come in. Everything is wrapped and ready to go. I’m going to Fairhope for Christmas with Neil for a few days. Can’t wait! I need a break, and girl time with my sista. I haven’t had even an hour to myself in 2 weeks. But I’m getting off work early today because we are slowing down and I have nothing left to do right now. I’m hoping I can finish ALL of my Etsy orders today but I doubt it. I spend too much time on one image and obsess over it.

Exciting news:

I’m getting a wacom bamboo fun tablet for Christmas!!!! I will post all that good stuff after I get it. Can’t wait!! This is going to make things go much faster and better for me.

Oh and I’m having a sale on my www.pixfixx.etsy.com site for Christmas. ALL of my listings are discounted until Jan. 1st.

Happy Holidays everyone!!!!

Beach Bliss

At the end of this month I’m going to a beach wedding. It’s kind of strange that I’m really siked considering I have lived at the beach my whole life excluding this year. It’s so weird how I hated living there for so long and couldn’t wait to get away and now that I’m gone it’s all I ever think about. I think I’m just a beach person. I NEED to live at the beach to feel complete. It was just that particular beach had too much bad blood. But when we move back to the beach, a different beach, it’s going to be great. Another beginning. New memories. I can’t wait.

These are my newest paintings that I did for a friend. I don’t know if she really liked them or not. But I though they were good…not so much on the middle one though.

I’ve been wanting to make some purses but I don’t have my sewing machine here. So I was desperate. I decided to use duct tape and staples. I’ve heard of other people using this but wasn’t sure if it was going to work. Surprisingly, it’s very sturdy and looks great! I’m so proud…
