101010 Project: Stephanie Amos

Oh, dear!

 

I'm not very good with instructions. Or the English Language. Yes, I was born and raised in the ol'U.S. of A., and therefore have NO EXCUSE for my lack of english. Truth is . . . today is the BEGINNING of the 101010 Project I've been hooting and hollaring about! And I'M LATE!!! Yes, it's true . . . 10 Women, 10 Businesses, 10 Questions begins TODAY! Nothing like me to be confused! But . . . here's how it is going to happen . . .

Each day, for the next 10 or so days, I will be featuring an amazing artist, soul sister, and creative spirit who participated in Kelly Rae Roberts "Flying Lessons" class with me in 2010. Each artist will answer the question . . .

The hardest part about pursing a dream is . . .

and on the last day of our project, May 14th, I will share MY answer for the above statement with you. Oh, the fun we will have!!! I've already taken a peak at my friends answers, and each one fills me with great inspiration and joy. I know you will enjoy seeing into the joy that makes each of them so special!

Without further ado, I present the lovely and talented

The hardest part about pursuing a dream is…
listening to your heart and ignoring everyone else who thinks you should be doing something different with your life, including yourself. I believe I have finally realized that I am an artist and creating art is what I should be doing with my life. I can’t tell you how much of a burden has been lifted from my shoulders in knowing that I am blessed with the opportunity to pursue my dream now.
Now all I need to do is move forward with
ACCEPTANCE       COURAGE      and      CONFIDENCE!

Stephanies Bio: I live in the mountains of Colorado with my amazing husband, three loving dogs, two handsome horses, and the queen of all cats. When I'm not out riding, I am usually in one of the two studios at our home where I paint, throw, sculpt and shoot my camera. I am more or less a free spirit in the sense that I can never sit still and am easily distracted by my interest in trying something new. I am fascinated with color and texture which is not limited to just art, but architecture as well. I love to travel and have been to many beautiful places and look forward to seeing the rest of the world real soon.

    Acceptance, Courage, and Confidence! Yes! I think those are three very important words we all need to embrace.

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
