Planning and Reflecting

How about you? What would you like your 2013 to feel like?

Merry and Bright

Had a super winter solstice date with my husband on Friday. Now it is Sunday, and it's almost Christmas. I am looking forward to spending time with loved ones. It is pretty special for us this year, as we now have our sweet son to celebrate and celebrate with!
Wishing all of you beauty, joy, and peace this holiday season.
Many Blessings,
Briana

So Many Thoughts

I have been thinking. That is, I have been trying to think when I am not feeling totally overwhelmed with new mama hood. One thing I know is that I need to take pictures. I do it all of the time. People will know I am not quite feeling like myself if my cameras are put away.
Another thing is, I miss my art supplies. I think about them a lot. I know I will get to them sometime soon.
Finally, good writing pens have been on my mind. I have a tin full of pens by my journal, but the ones I love seem to have run out of ink. I really like Uniball pens and Pilot pens. I tend to write in black ink. On occasion, I will grab a turquoise or burgundy or orange pen. I used to love sepia colored ink that goes in the Rotring pens, but I found them kind of tricky to keep in proper working order.
Here is a current photo from today. Or maybe I will post a few.
Also, I am super excited about two books I received this week. The Things We Do by Aimee Dolich of www.Artsyville.com and All I Did Was Listen by Rachel Awes.
What have you been thinking about?
Blessings to you,
Briana

Baby Gavin

On a snowy Sunday morning, a little baby boy cries, stretches, eats, and dreams. All the while, his silly mommy documents it all with her iPhone.
What are you up to today?

I Am the One Who

Feels so lucky to be living this life, right here, right now. Every moment is precious. This first week has not been easy. My husband and are walking around with puffy eyes and white faces from stress and like of sleep. However, we are happy. We are grateful. We love our "petite and precious" baby boy. We are learning as we go. Our hearts are full of love.
Wishing you all a heart full of love, too.
Blessings,
Briana

Blessed and Thankful

My beautiful baby has been born! I have trying to document this amazing journey of labor, delivery, and now being a mother. Thank goodness for my iPhone. I love that I can type notes and take pictures. If this works, I can even create a blog post!
Just want to say, "thank you". I am sending love and gratitude out into the world.

Maternity Self-Portraits

Self-portraits are a wonderful form of personal expression.  Personal expression through various art mediums is something that gives my life meaning.  You can see these photos, as well as many others on my Orange Spiral Arts Facebook Page.  Come on over.
