My Posts are at Orangespiralarts.comHI All,<br />
I see that people are still visiting my blog here. That makes me happy, however, I would be even more pleased if you would join me on my new site, <a href="http://www.orangespiralarts.com/" target="_blank">Orange Spiral Arts</a>. Today I have a special invitation just for mamas, moms, mothers, mommies, of any age. You can find that invitation <a href="http://www.orangespiralarts.com/my-blog/2013/04/calling-all-mamas.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Here's a little clue:<br />

I have moved over to my new site now. At <a href="http://www.orangespiralarts.com/">Orange Spiral Arts</a>, I will be blogging more regularly than I did here. I will be blogging about art, inspiration, photography, art journaling, etc. It would make me really, really pleased if you would "follow me", literally and figuratively. <br />
I have two posts up so far. The first is about <a href="http://www.orangespiralarts.com/my-blog/2013/02/art-inspiration-rachel-awes.html">Rachel Awes</a>, and the second is about a "<a href="http://www.orangespiralarts.com/my-blog/2013/02/color-me-happy.html#">Color Me Happy</a>" scrapbooking line. I hope to really "wow" you with the content and frequency of my posts over at <a href="http://www.orangespiralarts.com/">Orange Spiral Arts</a>. See you there!<br />
Blessings and Peace,<br />
Briana<br />

I am working on a new site over at <a href="http://www.typepad.com/">TypePad</a> to go along with my small business. The site isn't quite ready yet, so the web address is still a secret. However, I hope to make a big announcement soon!<br />
One of the offerings I will have on the new site are e-courses. I am so excited to be able to teach online classes. I have taken many myself, over the past couple of years, and have found them extremely nourishing to the soul. My e-courses will be centered around various modes of creative expression. For example, think of relieving stress through guided meditation, the fun of using art materials, and reflective journaling. You will be getting in touch with your creative side, you will be enjoying the process, and you will be making new friends. It's going to be AWESOME!<br />
So, I hope you stay tuned . . .<br />

My little man is 8 weeks old now. I can't believe it. Each day he grows and changes. You really can't blink an eye, can you, during these precious early weeks? I am sure it is like that for their whole lives. It is good to be present and enjoy each moment. I certainly have been trying to pay attention and just love this baby up. Thank you God, Universe, Great Spirit, Goddesses, and All That Is for bringing this sweet baby into our lives.Briana, MAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10121065262061256623noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758461974589898625.post-71879321084199183542012-12-28T14:11:00.001-06:002012-12-28T14:11:24.652-06:00Planning and ReflectingHow about you?

It is pretty special for us this year, as we now have our sweet son to celebrate and celebrate with! <br />

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.<br />
Another thing is, I miss my art supplies. I think about them a lot. I know I will get to them sometime soon.<br />
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.<br />
Here is a current photo from today. Or maybe I will post a few. <br />
Also, I am super excited about two books I received this week. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/104848794/the-things-we-do-doodle-book-wblue-cover">The Things We Do by Aimee Dolich</a> of www.Artsyville.com and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/110840313/the-book-all-i-did-was-listen-by-rachel">All I Did Was Listen by Rachel Awes</a>.<br />
What have you been thinking about?<br />
Blessings to you,<br />
Briana <br />

I was inspired by <a href="http://journalgirl.com/blog/2012/10/26/gelli-arts-gel-plate-basics-video.html">Kira</a> and <a href="http://www.robenmarie.com/blog/2012/10/27/gelli-arts-video-tutorial.html">Roben-Marie</a> to work with my <a href="http://www.gelliarts.com/collections/gel-printing-plates">Gelli Arts Printing Plate</a> (8 inches x 10 inches) this weekend. I made a couple of videos, too, but haven't figured out the ticket to uploading them to Blogger. I will work on it. If you have any tips, please share them in the comments. <div>
I used various papers, as well as BioColor Paint and cheap acrylic paint. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Speedball-Deluxe-4-Inch-Rubber-Brayer/dp/B003IFY622/ref=pd_bxgy_ac_text_y">brayer</a> was my friend, as well as a number of <a href="http://www.thecraftersworkshop.com/The_Crafters_Workshop/New_Products.html">stencils</a>. The bottom two photos show a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Crafters-Workshop-Woodgrain-x12-Template/dp/B005HQIVYE">wood grain stencil</a>.<br /><br /></div>

The truth is, soon I will have a son. Soon I will become a mother. Soon, my husband and I will be on the journey of parenthood. My friends who are parents tell me it is one of the bravest, most challenging, and most wonderful choices that a human can make in this life. <br />
As my son rolls around and kicks from inside my belly, I imagine him growing strong. I imagine him getting ready to enter the world. I send him Iove and kindness through the skin of my belly, through my warm hands. He is a miracle to me. I am so excited to meet him, hold him, feed him, play with him, and show him this beautiful world. I am truly grateful. <br />
If you are here reading this, may I ask you to hold us in your hearts and positive thoughts for the coming weeks? I am 35 weeks and 4 days along now. This next month is going to go so fast! I am hoping to have a water birth. Please send good vibes our way, so that we can all be safe and healthy in labor, delivery, and post-partum. I appreciate you, and I appreciate this life.<br />
Sending love and peace to you all, as well!<br />
Namaste,<br />

A state trooper pulled up behind me to see what was going on. I was on the phone with my husband trying to figure out what was wrong with the car. The trooper said he'd call a tow, but I wanted to use AAA, which I didn't think to mention in time before he went back to his truck.<br />
Anyway, the car started again after cooling off. The trooper helped me get back into traffic, so I could get off on the first exit. From there, I talked with my husband again, and we decided I'd just drive home. Unfortunately, the car died again. This time, I was in an Elementary School parking lot where I was turning around, but the vehicle died in the middle of the driveway to the side street. Fortunately, the car started again after cooling off. I parked in the back of the school lot by the playground and patiently waited for my husband to meet me. <br />

This is me, trying to maintain a positive attitude at 6:45am, in a broken car.</div>
<br />
He was going to drive the broken car home, and I would drive his truck. The plan worked. We made it home. Yay!<br />
By the way, we had the car in the shop the day prior, but it was working beautifully, so the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong with it. (For the teachers out there, it's like when you request to have a child observed for behavior issues, and the child acts like a little angel the whole time!)<br />
<br />
After some of research and purchasing of parts, my husband fixed the car. We test drove it to the state park to get a little rejuvenation. It was a beautiful evening. Wish me luck on my morning commute the rest of this week and beyond!!<br />

I had so much fun today watching Connie Hozvicka of <a href="http://www.dirtyfootprints-studio.com/">Dirty Footprints Studio</a> work on a BIG FEARLESS Painting live on <a href="http://www.ustream.tv/">Ustream</a>. She suggested that we BYOB (bring your own brushes) and paint with her. It was like having an art party, or a friend over for an art day. What fun! People from all over the world could chat, too! The internet is AMAZING!<div>

I am feeling really good this weekend. I am so excited to meet our baby in the next two months or so. I know the time is going to fly. I am working hard on developing my small business to help support my little family. That is feeling really good, too. I have been a nesting and house cleaning maniac. There is still a lot more to do and organize, but the progress made thus far feels amazing. I hope things are good in your neck of the woods, wherever that may be. Blessings and peace to you.<br />

Today was my family baby shower. It was so fun! My sister and mom did a great job of decorating with a Minnesota nature theme. All of the food they prepared was wonderful, too. We played one game, which had a Minnesota theme. It was all about naming the Minnesota state flower, bird, grain, fruit, muffin, etc. I didn't win the game, but I was just one point shy of the woman who did win! I am pretty sure all guests had a nice time. I feel so blessed for all of my lovely family who attended this event, physically or in spirit. Our baby boy is very lucky. I am feeling overwhelmingly grateful for all of the fantastic gifts we received today. Thank you everyone!!!!</div>

Thankfully, I am able to rejuvenate the soul this weekend with the fresh air of the north woods. We are staying at a friend's cabin on the top of a hill. We are almost at the tree tops, we are so high up. The sound of the wind blowing through, rustling the leaves gently, is soothing my wild spirit. Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful weekend! Also, on my commute to work on Thursday, I listened to a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Power-Joy-Deliberate-Pleasure/dp/1401923089/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347910812&sr=8-1&keywords=the+power+of+joy+northrup">CD by Dr. Christiane Northrup</a> on finding joy. I don't have the exact title right now, but I will post it when I've returned from vacation. That CD was the beginning of my slump improvement. Anything by <a href="http://www.drnorthrup.com/">Dr. Christiane Northrup</a> is worth spending time with. She's fantastic!<br />

Do you attend a monthly meeting that fills you up? What do you call it? What do you do there? (It is good to share these things, as everyone needs people, right?)</div>

She has a new website called <a href="http://www.soulodge.com/">SouLodge</a> where she posts information about her upcoming e-courses and gatherings. Recently she finished up teaching her summer session of Summer SouLodge, and decided to post a <a href="http://www.pixiecampbell.com/2012/08/free-soulodge-pdf-because-a-voice-is-a-terrible-thing-to-waste.html">FREE PDF </a>on her site. I have been soaking it up lately, and am feeling deeply connected to Spirit, just when I needed it most.<br />
If you are someone who likes nature based ritual and ceremony, you'll love what Pixie offers.<br />
<br />
I made a journal page after watching one of Pixie's Summer SouLodge videos. Next I listened to her link of whale songs. Wow! What amazing creatures. I haven't listened to them for a long, long time like this. It was good to hear them again.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now that I am in tune with my spirit, and feel grateful for Pixie's free pdf offering, I'd like to give something to you, too. <br />
It's a piece of hand painted paper that you can download and print for use in your journal, scrapbook, or handmade cards. Enjoy! (Just click the image and save to your computer).<br />

Today is going to be a work day in the house. This is the weekend Tom and I are going to try to spiff up our house for the upcoming baby shower and arrival of our little bundle of joy. I will be entering into my third trimester of pregnancy soon, and I am already feeling many discomforts. I can only imagine it will be getting worse, as far as comfort goes. Mind you, I am not complaining. I love, love, love being pregnant. I feel very lucky and blessed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What are your labor day weekend plans? Hopefully you'll get some outside enjoyment in there somewhere. That's why I decided to go for a walk first thing this morning. Walking gives me a space to breathe, think, relax, process, and enjoy nature.</div>
