Love comes in all different forms. We love our family, our neighbors, our pets... but when is the last time you showed yourself LOVE? How do you nurture yourself to be the best YOU? What are some things you do on a consistent basis that really nurtures your SOUL? Expresses yourself? What helps you have an awesome day? I know when I get with my creator before anything else and I let Him pour into me, I am a better wife, mother, friend and neighbor. I love to spend time with my best friend, meditating on scripture with my favorite pen Pentel color brush pen and allowing ME & Him time. Here is my gift to you, download the print the drawing above, get out your favorite art supplies and color away and have a bit of create time with your creator. God Bless, Love, Debra

Having a great summer at our new space - The Church of the Nativity in North Scottsdale. Arts Camp going all JUNE - join the fun daily rates available as well. Guess what the theme is this week? Check out these 2 speed paintings - from water day at my church... This was the message from the Scottsdale Bible Women's retreat last weekend in Williams, AZ. What an great message given by Kelli Gotthardt & incredible music by Elizabeth Hunnicutt. The above 'COLORME' drawing was created throughout the weekend which includes Kelli's message of being the women God has called you to be. Knowing who you are in Christ and what your purpose is on earth and to really own and accept that. You can purchase this giclee (fine art reproduction) here

SUMMER ARTS CAMP INFO & REGISTRATION...:-) The Health Benefits of Art Are for Everyone - read this article Art stimulates the imagination Art makes you more observant Art enhances problem-solving skills Art reduces stress Art enhances cognitive abilities and memory, even for people with serious brain conditions Art & Healing: Can Art Be Medicine? Please share you comments on how ART has helped you or a loved one! I was so blessed this weekend to be able to participate in create art ALL weekend long... from 5pm on Fri till 3pm on Sunday at Camelback Bible Church in Paradise Valley. Below are the pieces created by 13 artists. Enjoy the slide show and YES all the pieces are for sale just comment below and I'll get you in touch with the artist. Since My art is all comprised of words and phrases so when Duffy gave us the theme - it was not hard to know that I would do all the 9 beatitudes - oh and yes are there 8? or are there 9? What do you think? Well I added in Revile because it's different then Persecuted... it means: Criticize in an abusive or angrily insulting manner. So I thought it was important! Working in scripture as I do, writing ever so slow and meticulous but also engaging the right side of the brain is very intense. Because your left side of the brain is where are the language comes from and the right side is the "creative" drawing side... trying to work them together is like mixing oil and water - I have to concentrate very hard to not miss spell a word, even though I am looking right at the word I'm drawing - it can still come up with a miss spelling if I'm not careful. Designing Your LIfeBy Making Money In Your Sleep Start dreaming in color! I recently picked up a book by Mark Anastasi and am super impressed. He really took the time to explain each social media platform and gave real life examples on how to make money from your lap top hence the title of his book: The Lap Top Millionaire...:-) My dream is to encourage everyone to DO more ART... but the age old excuse is I can't I DON'T have time - oh that precious commodity! Well if you consider that the world is changing in the way we all do business and if we were open minded and just applied a small amount of energy into designing our life instead of our weekends, maybe just maybe, then...we could turn those pennies into gold... I love helping people create more time and money in their lives click here to find out how...:-) I'll leave you with this question - What would you do if time and money were no object? Pretend just for a moment that you won the lottery...Start to dream... Email me your answer would love to hear...xo dlm
