me and THEE kelly rae roberts
it was also where i had the joy of meeting a huge inspiration in my getting back to a more fulltime creative, artful life. artist kelly rae roberts. you can read about my start with her here in this post. she is so very lovely and i am thrilled to be able to go spend 5 more days getting all messy and painterly with her. and also with one of kelly.s dear friends mati rose. with a name like that you just have to be wonderful don.t ya? i.m sure i.ll have way more pictures to share than you.ll ever care to see and stories galore along with new found friends. i.ve already connected to many of the women i.ll be playing with and i can.t wait to see their sweet faces in person. along with this dear soul i met in manzanita. i can.t tell you how excited i am to hear her soothing southern accent again. she is an exploding artist herself miss mindy is. wish i could pack a few of you in my suitcase. yes you dear, you know who you are. bye for now ya.ll.
Hey Chrissy
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of your amazing retreat! I hope it's everything you dream it to be and more, and I can't wait to hear all about it. One day I will come over and do one too! I'm off to New Zealand next Friday for six weeks (what I was talking about on my blog), very exciting! Thank you for always leaving such nice thoughts on my blog...

I'm so excited for you, you're gonna have a wonderful time! What a beautiful pic of you and miss kelly rae! That is so cool! She has been a great inspiration for me as well. I too am a procrastinor, but sometimes I do my best work at the last minute. ♥♥♥

Hi Chrissy, I just embrace the procrastinating. I figure I have more time for other stuff, I stress for a shorter period of time (where the *@#% did I put _________?!!!), it is good exercise for my brain, and I know if I can do as much as I end up doing in such shorts spurts, I must be pretty dang talented!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes that help?
See you soon, Lorrie
oh my gosh! this looks AMAZING!!! both the people & the art experience. so happy for you!
ReplyDeletelovely lady, have so much fun. breathe.love.paint.dream. find out what you want out of life right now.
ReplyDeletei don't have another word for procrastination...but i think the things i prcrastinate at are the things i don't like to do so for me i "dream" of the the things i want to do instead...is that procrastination?
hugs to you my friend. this is a much deserved retreat for you.
kelly

ReplyDeleteHi there, Have you seen this fun little Procrastination movie? I saw in on the We Love You So blog. Here's a link to it. I'm a procrastinator, too, so this made me smile. Hope it does the same for you. Have a great time on your artful journey!

oh and by the way...i am QUEEN of procrastination...just ask Scotty! he will absolutely be more than happy to vouch for that one!!
sigh, I'll be thinking of you guys... if I didn't know you better I would warn you not to go off with all your new friends and leave us little unearthers in the dust, but happily, I know that won't happen! Big hugs to Mindy and Kelli Rae. I hope she is feeling better! And speaking of procrastination, that's the reason I almost didn't get into Unearth until I barely squeaked in on a cancelation. Phew - I knew it was meant to be!! Have a blast - can't wait to hear all about it!!!

thanks for stopping by inner toddler. you were right in my hood! I live about 20 minutes from los gatos. I hope it was an outstanding experience. I'm considering this very workshop for the summer or next winter. looking forward to the details in a later post. xo
ReplyDeleteHi Sweetie! Wow did I get lucky to have you as a roomy! Your beautiful, energetic, a good listener, artistic and the BEST dresser and accessorizer!!! (is that a word?). Lets stay in touch. By the way, is there really a national pancake day?

Hi Chrissy, I couldn't find your email address to reply to your lovely message on my blog. I'm so glad that you had such a wonderful time at the retreat and that you got to hang out with the very lovely and completely amazing Cathy! She's one of a kind for sure, and I'm very glad to have her as my friend.
ReplyDeleteAmen to your mum - I feel like Dorothy today!

hi chrissy! i can't wait to see what you post about the trip! what an awesome experience!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chrissy for your sweet comments. And PLEASE don't feel bad about falling asleep on the plane. I didn't mind it one bit! I am not that person who needs to be paid attention to. You had to take care of yourself and I was just happy that you were on the plane!oooxoxoxrobin
ReplyDeletehi chrissy, i too am a pro-crastinator & thought i'd share something i learned from Sark. micro-movements = making teeny tiny steps toward your goals. i feel less overwhelmed, accomplish a little something & that positive energy flows on.
ReplyDeletein any case, i hope you enjoy your retreat! i can squeeze in your carry on? hehe. happy travels :)
