Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’ve found your way to my little corner of the internet.
My journey into blogging started back in 2007 when I began writing about living with back pain. After over 40 years of dealing with chronic pain—and four major surgeries—I had to come to terms with the fact that pain would always be part of my life. Writing became my therapy. Putting my thoughts into words helped me through some of the hardest days.
As time passed and my lovely grandchildren came along, life got wonderfully busy! I no longer had the time to keep up with the blog, so I decided to sell it and spend more time with my family. That’s when I reconnected with one of my oldest loves—art.
It all started when a friend gave me a paint-by-numbers set. I was hooked from the moment I dipped my brush. Painting took me to another place—away from the pain and into peace and colour. I soon moved on from kits to painting custom pieces, starting with a portrait of a friend’s dog. Since then, I’ve created over 20 paintings, many of which you’ll see showcased here.
This blog is where I share that joy again—only this time through art, crafts, card making, and the occasional bit of baking with my little ones. It’s a space to celebrate creativity in all its forms.
Feel free to browse, leave a comment, or ask questions about any of my pieces. And if something catches your eye, you’re always welcome to ask about prices.
Thanks for stopping by—I hope you leave feeling inspired to create something beautiful of your own.
