First, I received a message last week asking if I would like to be published on FaveCrafts.com I immediately responded – YES! So I am now in the craft designers section of FaveCrafts.com.

Art and Design Terminology 101–THE COLOR BASICS!
I have been reading several blogs over the past couple of weeks and one thing that I have noticed is the lack of proper terminology or the incorrect usage of terminology (this drives me crazy!) Maybe because I went to Art College and also studied Art Education, I feel that proper uses of terms is … Continue reading
Did you notice the change?
It is a small one but a big one for me. I bought a domain name: http://www.ajsartsanddesigns.com. What does this mean? Absolutely nothing – lol, the content will stay the same but the address is now a real domain. I plan on making some modifications to the blog but for now it is just the … Continue reading

This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions and thoughts. It started Tuesday night with the post about PBS & NPR by Wednesday morning I had 28 comments awaiting moderation – one problem ALL ANONYMOUS!

It Is Official – I Have Artist Block…
I don’t even know if it true Artist Block or Frustration Block from the Graphic Design Project I am working on. If it isn’t Artist Block it is pretty damn close because I do not like anything I am producing right now, leading me to think it is Artist Block. This happens every year in … Continue reading
NFC Playoff Weekend, Skype and Zentangles
