It’s no secret if you read my blog or come to my home you know I love Shabby Chic. I’m passionate about recycling anything that most people give up on and toss out. I try to be honest and open when I write my blog and in life. I’m not your typical artist that just works in one medium cause I have a gypsy’s soul and I like to roam. I believe in Jesus and I’m not afraid to tell you that. I don’t like when people are hateful and rude. My life without art would be a breathless life. I have a strong love for organizing just about anything. I’m up for a good sale any day at any store, but my favorite sale is garage and estate sales. I love mornings with my grandson on the patio and his sleepy eyes. The kids I teach are part of my heart and I love them all. I guess if I had to roll all this into one phrase I would call my self a Shabby Chic gypsy, with a heart for kids and a lover of all things art, a believer of Jesus who recycled my soul and made me who I am today. My values are vintage, I’m a wife, Momma, Lolli, dog loving person that is Way Blue Happy about life.
I find life interesting and the things I keep around me make me smile. Sharing with you a small portion of these things lets you into my world that is sometimes wack-a-do and crazy. I love to paint furniture and canvases, really just about anything. Painting gives me a high in life I can’t get anywhere else. I’m amazed at the creativity I have been blessed with and so thankful for it. My home is full of these pieces and one of my favorites is an old stereo. It really was one of the very first pieces that started this whole Blue Happy Living thing. My home is a place that if safe and comforting to me and I try to fill it with things that are amazing. Clutter is not welcome in my home because it causes my head to be crazy. I firmly believe that your home should be the place you go to relax, regroup and prepare yourself for what comes at you when you step outside. I like quotes and words on my walls to remind me life can be a roll of the dice sometimes and if you don’t roll with it you will be unhappy. There are ups and downs and moments of clarity. All of which make you a stronger person. True love of people is something to adore and hate is the death of your soul. A pretty dish that you have on display is just a pretty dish until you serve someone from it. The dish becomes a part of your home when you do that. I do not live in a house I live in a home and I strive to keep that title. A house is just brick and mortar, but a home is filled with love. We love our patio living room and most evenings you will find us there just sitting and enjoy quiet space in our busy day. Life is good and amazing when the skies are blue. On days that it’s not you have to find the Blue Happy with in yourself.
Everyday we decide how much or how little we live. Crying about what has happened in the past only wrinkles the future. You never get spent time back. Life ain’t a loadable card it’s over and done as you spend your time balance. Get up, live life, push hard and don’t stop. Find what makes you happy today and live as if today is it. I don’t wanna stand at the end and say wait I wasn’t done yet cause there is no go backs. Have the Blue Happiest Tuesday!
