Ghost Whisperer


Have I told you that I really like to watch Ghost Whisperer :)

It is on Friday nights on CBS at 9pm.

"The series follows the life of Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt), who has the ability to see and communicate with the dead. While trying to live as normal a life as possible, Melinda helps them pass over to the other side by working as a paranormal investigator (secretly).

Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch them lately, but to my surprise over the weekend I found that there are a few full episodes that I missed available online: Click here
Just wanted to share this little tidbit incase you like watching paranormal shows too! :) If you do, then I think you will like Ghost Whisperer.
Take care,
Kim

Feliz Dia de Los Muertos - Happy Day of the Dead


Happy Day of the Dead!!!
or
Happy All Saint's Day!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween and didn't eat too much chocolate! I had a wonderful Halloween and watched plenty of scary movies. I had a Halloween marathon going last night with plenty of chocolates and buttered up popcorn!!

And today is Day of the Dead, a celebration of life and a celebration for those who we love that have past on.

As you know most of my artwork is inspired by this very day. I hold this day very close to me.

The paintings and artwork might be considered morbid to most. The skulls and the theme of death that plays out in many of the pieces might appear morbid, but in actuality it is a look inside the cultures that believe in the after life and who celebrate Day of the Dead because death affects all of us throughout our lives. Death is not something that many people put much thought into until it occurs. Family members, family pets, friends, and loved ones have or will eventually pass on. The paintings and artwork that I create hopefully promotes healthy speaking and thinking about life and death.

Whether people believe in the after life or not, death is a part of life and thinking about it is not wrong or unhealthy, but rather a celebration of life.


Love,
Kim

New Updates in the shop..

It's been a crazy few days. Can you believe that Halloween is just 2 weeks away!

I have been having a wonderful time creating Day of the Dead masks. My favorite Frida one sold the other day to a wonderful person. So I am happy she is going to a wonderful home.

This is the recently sold Frida mask..I loved her! I just might have to make myself a similiar one...
I have put some updates in the Etsy shop: click here

I just listed this fun pocket skull mirror of one of my original paintings. I have it another colors too. I believe I have him in black, blue, and red:

I have such a wonderful time making these dual brooch and pendant necklaces. I just listed one in the shop: Click here


Last, but not least, I listed a large adjustable ring of a high quality image of my Day of the Dead Skull mask painting. If you prefer his background to be another color, let me know. Because I can make his background purple, green, or turqouise click here




I am still working on perfecting my little chocolate skull heads, as soon as I finish a good batch I will def. show you the pictures.

Sincerely,
Kim
