New Year's Resolutions

(better late than never)

1. More of the "good life" (family, friends, wheels, travel, birds, squirrels, turtles)

2. More ART & less junk! Create something every day!
(draw, paint, forge, cook, write)

3. More books & music..... less TV.

4. More protein... less carbs:P


Words to think on..... We Live
(from the album Beauty from Pain by Superchick)



We live... we love

We forgive and never give up

Cuz the days we are given are gifts from above

And today we remember to live and to love

Creation for today-

Pinky's Wish List

Pinky's making a shopping "wish list." He says his birthday is coming up. This could be trouble.
Click on his picture to see flamingos in our Artful Flamingo Shop. (We'll keep you posted on the
birthday party.)

My Favorite Artists

I was recently brainstorming for a new art project and this is what came to me. Inspired by my own favorite artists, I decided to create sterling silver jewelry pieces to honor them. The first "volume" consists of Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. Each piece comes with a card with into on the artist and the piece. At this point they are available only at the Art Museum of South Texas, but will soon be in Beachcombers Cove on Etsy and at the Treehouse Art Collective. Hope you enjoy them.

Mermaid Wisdom, Vol. II

There is great need for a sarcasm font.





A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.













A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds
(Some days that's about what my memory span is.)

Here, Fishy Fishy Fishy...

Here's some fun fishy items from the Freethinkers Team. Click on the pics to visit their shops.

Mermaid Wisdom

The two most common elements in the world are hydrogen and stupidity.
Don't drown the man who taught you to swim.








If love isn’t a game, then why are there so many players ?











I’m knot a blonde! I’m knot, I’m knot, I’m knot!

Port Aransas Boidies

Results of cruising around beautiful Port Aransas, Texas looking for birds. The first is Albus Dumbledore, who lives at the Animal Rehabilitation Keep (ARK) due to a badly healed broken wing. He's quite a character.

The next pelican seems to doing the Hokey Pokey ♬♪♭♫You put your left wing in....
