Wikis’ can be fun. Not always accurate but worth a look. One of the most well known being the Wikipedia. I came across a How To Wiki today and found some art related articles.You may like to take a look. http://www.wikihow.comHow To Appreciate Michelangelo Buonarroti's PaintingsHow To Appreciate Modern American ArchitectureHow To Appreciate Vincent Van Gogh Art WorkHow To Be Invited to Art

Okay, my first time tagged by Debbie Egizio, fellow artist girl! It's an honor just being nominated. Here are 7 weird things about me...
1. I see dead people and animals. Okay, I actually hear them, and see spirits as little blinks of light and movement. Sometimes it's a real pain like when I am shopping at estate sales. Sometimes it's a real blessing when I am able to connect folks to their animals and relatives in my work. It's been a big blessing when my Mom visits. :)
(Okay, that was a big weird thing!)
2. When I feel out of control and crazy, I obsess over my website and redo, redo, redo, redo! Hee hee. I guess it's blatant OCD in some ways, but when I'm done I usually have a nice headache and I'm calmed down a bit. My husband will see me at the computer with my face all red and say, "Oh yeah, you are obsessing again, eh?"
3. I love the feel of things! When I was little, I loved to feel the smooth bed sheets. I love petting my dogs. I love cashmere sweaters. You get the idea. I'm very tactile!
4. I love order. My house can be a pigsty, but if everything is in nice piles and in its place, I'm happy. It's the Capricorn thing, I'm sure.
5. Like Debbie, I always have a huge pile of books by my bed. I'd probably buy books over food, clothes or anything else. I think I even have! I just love to read. Love to learn.
6. My church is Barnes and Noble. My family--we call it that. "Let's go to our sacred place!"
7. I hate to cook. I think because I'm lousy at it, but I'd rather go off and draw. I have like two meals I can do--meatloaf and spaghetti. Luckily, my husband is a much better cook and we take turns cooking.
That wasn't too weird, right? I tag Flyboy, Thatgrrl, Ascender, Theresa, and Reema.
Hi DesigningFairy. Thanks for tagging me, I'll hopefully get to write my 2I got tagged" post soon. Just felt like commenting on your post.
You said you see blinks of light and movements. Well, I've seen blinks of light, even little round "globes" and movements since I was a little child. At first it scared me totally, but now I'm used to it. I don't pay any attention.
You say dead people and spirits. Hmm, personally with me I don't really know what I see. I mean once in biology we were learning about how people could se light and movements as neutrons or whatever it was went through their eyes at particular points. But, on the other hand I do believe in the spiritual world; a parallel, invisible world. They see us, we don't see them. It's kinda weird don't you thingk?
But I'm relieved that there's other people around that see the same lights and movements (if I understood you correctly that is).
Anyways, a pretty long comment here :P Take care!
Peace and love.
#4, so true about Capricorns, I'm one too and we're obsessed with order.
Lovely art you've got here :)

Not weird at all, but very special. Except for the talking to the dead I can relate to almost all of them but the cooking - I LOVE LOVE LOVE to cook and set tables with nice china and place settings hence Ces and Her Dishes but I also serve other dishes on my blog :-)
Do you watch that Ghost Whisperer show on Friday? I know, I know... dumb question. A fellow Capricorn's attempt at being funny. It sounds like it would be a weird thing.
I too obsess over my site. So much so that people don't realize that I am me still.
I only half watched the show when nothing else was on and I wanted to veg out after work, so I didn't see the ending.
We Capricorns need to stick together. The rest of the world just doesn't understand our obsessions. :)
What obsessions? Now if I just tweek this a little and fix that...:)
Ronnie,
It took me this long to figure out where to find you! Sorry! I have been working out some tech issues. Tomorrow I will take care of my tag thing. Steve is calling it Blagged a combnation of tag and blog. Clever. How are you doing? Did you move? Your art is so nice!
That Debbie got me, too. I didn't mention my ghost friend Mike, already weird enough. heeee... We have quite a bit in common, according to your list, that is.
Hi Ronni Dear! So fun to read about you. We have a lot in common, I can relate to most of your list. I see the lights you talk about, I've always thought that it was my guardian angel.
