		<title>Beauty everywhere I look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have been walking around feeling a little high lately.  Everywhere I look I see nature&#8217;s beauty.  Maybe it is because we are actually having a Spring season this year.  As opposed to Virginia&#8217;s usual mad rush from Winter to Summer.  Everywhere I look nature is begging me to notice her.  And yes, I am [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=94&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s all black and white</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Recently I wondered what it would be like to fill a white space with black shapes.  This small ponderence started me down another art journey that resulted in my first sale of Art.  Now, to be clear, I have sold things before.  I sell my art on greeting cards, mirrors, magnets, a bird house and of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=87&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Quid Pro Quo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My favorite Yahoo group has announced that it will most likely dissolve at the end of this month.  I am so sad.  I have had such amazing art exchanges with this group.  Just finished a bracelet made from 20 different handmade charms from numerous artists.  Such a cool experience &#8211; to send in 10 of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=84&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t take me seriously</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I have a bit of a block when it comes to making art.  I am fine making stuff that I know will have some practical use.  Needing to send out thank you cards spurred me to create lots of little pieces that I could re-print.  Next, I thought it would be fun to do a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=81&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Just another excuse to make art.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

As many of you know, I have recently been ill and required minor surgery.  I have received a wonderful outpouring of affection from friends far and wide making thank you cards a necessity.  So I took this opportunity to make a few new pieces of art.  I figured if I am gonna send a card, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=73&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My big fat skinny book. The journey ends.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Today I completed the last of my skinny book pages.  26 all original pages, 8&#8243; X 4&#8243; each,  were required and as I look through them I realize that I have learned much from this  exercise.  I have learned to doodle. I have learned to control a paint brush.  I have learned that I actually [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=71&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Feeling a little blocked&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

A little over a week ago, we put our dog to sleep.  This has left me feeling sorely uncreative (among other things.)  Normally, I would just allow myself time to get through it, knowing that I will eventually be able to get my art on.  My problem is this &#8211; my skinny book pages are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=69&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How do you thank someone for buying your art?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have had a few sales on Esty (Etsy is a fabulous place to buy and sell handmade items.  Check out my shops by clicking on the links under &#8220;buy my art&#8221;) and am now wondering what to send as a thank you.   If the item is above a certain price and the package can [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=65&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hello my name is Kathleen and I am a purseaholic.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So there I said it.  I am on a never ending quest for the perfect purse.  I keep thinking if I could just find that purse, then I wouldn&#8217;t want for anything ever again.  But who am I kidding.  I see so many purses that I adore and it seems that I am not alone in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=58&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Thread sketching is great!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
After seeing the amazing work of my fellow blogger Kelli Perkins  http://ephemeralalchemy.blogspot.com/2007/06/more-thread-sketching.html  I jumped at the chance to take a thread sketching class.  Let me tell you, I am in love!  I was already doing something like this with my applique, but learning the technique has taken my art to a whole other level. 
 In the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kathleencreates.wordpress.com&blog=1254356&post=55&subd=kathleencreates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
