UNKNOWN GIFTS & TALENTS

I wonder why I keep this blog. 
We all have FB and post pictures and the every day goings on.... BUT for us in-depth soul searchers that enjoy putting pen to paper and spewing forth all the jargin that is in our brains it is more a type of artistic medium I guess.
I havent been much of a "diary keeper" but have on occassion in several perfect bound books that have caught my eye mainly becuase they were pretty or had a texture or a trinket that I thought would help me maintain a dairy at that given time. It has never worked. Nor has this blog, BUT I have kept it since 2008 when I had to do something for myself to maintain my serenity.
I have always thought about writing a book from time to time.... creating a story line and events that shape peoples lives. Now I love the Waltons. That series ran for how many years? Exactly ... and it was based on a diary of mundane day to day life in West Virginia... well there you have it. 
Lately I have been feeling I need to get back to my creative roots in some sort of artistic nature. I love so many types of work and enjoy it so much I cant figure out WHY I cant make time to do it?
When I look back and think of all the areas I have enjoyed and prospered in I feel so blessed. 
Photography, Screen Printing, Darkroom reproductions, Videography, Editing, Publishing & Printing, Kitchen Designing, Jewelry making, Mural Painting, Ceramics, Crafting, House staging, Architectual Design, Landscaping, Building & Remodeling, Cake creations, Wood burning and Retail Space Makeovers for Cabinetry Showrooms
Next up: Furniture Rehabing
Once I get my work space cleaned out and a work bench and electric in... WOW.... that is going to be fun! I have been researching how to rehab an old 68 small trailer that I would like to have as company quarters or a retail space for Gypsy Cowgirl & Co. :) ... that is a ways off... but I love that look and not being so clean cut and perfect all the time :) This is farm life!
I have kept my ideas on Pinterest.... and boy is that site going to be the death of me! I get so filled up with ideas and what to dos and want to get done projects... I have to go take a nap!
For now... this new 2016 year, its about being happy where you are. Blossoming where you are planted. Being Blessed to be that Blessing to others around you that really need it everyday!

My gifts and talents are meant to be shared with and for the people in my life :)
