Happy New Year dear art friends!
I love the start to a new year. I feel so energized and filled with excitement for what this year will bring. In the past, I've made New Years resolutions. This year, I'm going to focus on a few words and let them guide me throughout the year: Yes, Create, Explore, Smile. : )
...
I've cleared the bulletin boards in my studio...new, fresh inspiration can find its way to me now. : )
...
A bit of cuteness for the new year...Inca has turned this little box of oranges into her new favorite napping spot.
...
Want to kick off the year with a bit of creativity? Pull out your pencils, crayons, watercolors, glitter and more and play in our Good Old-Fashioned Coloring Contest!
...
Simply copy and print this page (from our fabulous Antique Paris Catalog). Or email blogfreebie@artchixstudio.com for your high resolution download.
Color with art supplies that you have on hand (pencils, crayons, markers, watercolors, etc). Feel free to get creative..it's okay to color outside the lines. Digital art is okay too. You're welcome to add decorative papers and collage and add to a journal page if like. Up to you. Just have fun and play. : )
Post pics of your colored page to the ARTchix Studio facebook page. Or email me pics and I'll be happy to post them for you.
Deadline is Tues, January 8th.
My kitties will pick a winner and so will I. Winners will each receive a $25 gift certificate to ARTchix. Woohoo!
See you next week! : )
Does Inca like sleeping in baby carriers? My cat does, whenever a friend comes by with a baby I have to put him in my room or he spends the whole time pawing at the baby to get out so he can get in. Such a goose.

Ohhhh, too fun! I'm as excited as a kid, I have to tell ya! Can't wait to start coloring. :)
My husband brought a pile of winter coats/jackets from the closet and put them on the recliner so I could go through them when I got home from work and decide which ones to keep. That was three days ago, and there has not yet been one moment when at least one cat wasn't snoozing in the coat pile! (Methinks we'll have to keep all of them, at least until the novelty wears off!)

What a great idea: coloring in the New Year. I will be playing with my watercolor crayons for this one after I get the blogfreebie.
My D'Ora believes that I am the only thing that will keep her warm at night, so she sleeps on my hip (I am a side sleeper). The older she gets, the more she wants to do this. I will wake up in the middle of the night and there she is.
Inca and the box is a hoot.
