Unchartered Territory

Well, not exactly unchartered but certainly a new location. I've decided to relocate the blog. I purchased a new bookThe-Awe-manac-Daily-Dose-Wonder and it's helped me to make a change in the way I view the blogs I currently have. I'm happy to say I've consolidated and relocated, if you would like to continuing visiting I can now be found on Wordpress as UmbrEllisblog. I will only post to this site from here on out. All blogging will now be located in this new location. I'm still getting acclimated to the new bells and whistles over there so it may take a couple of weeks for things to settle down. Can't wait to see you!!

Color Your World


Happy New Year!! I have a confession, I hate winter.  It's during this time of the year I find myself struggling with lack luster ambition or  creative ideas.  So when something easy presents itself during the winter lull I jump on the idea with cat like reflexes. I've had this pack of chalk for a few years. Sometimes they come out when a mixed media project is unfolding or they get taken to the clinic in the hopes of producing an interest in one of my clients. NOT TODAY!!!

I've always wanted to have some really fun highlights in my hair. I don't mean the typical colors of blonde, auburn etc. I mean blue, purple, green or a lovely violet but I knew this wasn't necessarily something I wanted day in and day out. Well now that time has come!!!

Andrew was more than willing to participate in this project. Who knew wetting these chalks would allow one to have a multitude of color in their hair.


Andrew decided to go with a red, white and blue theme with yellow accents for initials.

So if you are also finding yourself feeling a little blue......well at least you can have your hair match that!
