This gave a me a smile, because fall is one of my favorite seasons. Its time to get cozy and start creating again. With the kids back to school, I'll be able to have "Me time" to do what I love. I love this time of the year 'cause the weather is warm during the day and a cool at night. Soon the colors of trees will start to change colors and I'll get some new paintings done outside. I already started with some Holloween cards, I'll post them here, and on my etsy shop next week. Please stop by and take a look!Jasmine Abramshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11350947912448244523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587826550000223306.post-1688984844069921882011-06-13T11:06:00.000-04:002011-06-13T11:06:41.151-04:00What's growing in your garden<i>Be kind to the people you meet in life. Do not let unkind thoughts become unkind words. - Patricia B., 1939, Dayton, Ohio</i><br />
<br />
With this quote in mind. Spread kindness always, just as a bumble bee spreads pollen around, you will grow new flowers, and others will follow. - Jasmine Abrams 2011Jasmine Abramshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11350947912448244523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587826550000223306.post-44661689943011508952011-06-02T06:57:00.000-04:002011-06-02T06:57:34.631-04:00Technology is good! or is it?I'm a new comer when it comes to blogging, tweeting and facebook. However, it's very easy to get so into it that a day without it is like a day without Water! This pass weekend was a great way to get connected with my kids. I took advantage that my "systems" where down and force my boys (17 & 13) not to tweet, fb or text. We did the whole weekend getaway. So, being on Holiday for just 3 days with no "tech" was Great! We drove to two states, and this gave us alot of quality talk time! Do you know how hard it is to get two teen boys to talk? Very! But, I didn't give up and my husband was a gods gift since he broke the silence by starting the conversation with Baseball! Well that open the door to more topics and the next thing you know they were fighting to talk to us! It seems that both boys had alot to say. But never had the time since they are always texting, or in their own world on their laptop.<br />
We do need technology...this is the world our society has created. It's all good. However, it's even a better thing when you put it down and spend more time talking and laughing with the ones you love.Jasmine Abramshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11350947912448244523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587826550000223306.post-87510109179250539672011-06-02T06:11:00.000-04:002011-06-02T06:11:20.451-04:00Going TechnoWe live in a high techno world.

In the pass I would search for hours for the perfect cards. I didn't want the cards to be to mushier or to much of this or not enough of that.... and so on. It was always an hour or two to find that perfect card, and it would drive me crazy. Well, now I'll spend the time creating them, and each one will be a one of a kind!<br /><br />My husband has always been a big supporter of my art. For Christmas he bought me a Provo Craft "Cricut" machine! I haven't had the time to look it over. And today it turn out to be the perfect day to finally sit down and play! OMG! I've made several hearts in different sizes and a lace background to mount the hearts on. <br /><br />I'm still reading the instructions, and making different shapes to get to learn the machine better. <br /><br />Stay tune for pictures in a few days...<br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day to all!Jasmine Abramshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11350947912448244523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587826550000223306.post-74566721244307431612011-01-31T21:03:00.000-05:002011-01-31T21:03:45.469-05:00Jasmine Abrams - Artists Wanted 2010<a href="http://www.artistswanted.org/Jasmine">Jasmine Abrams - Artists Wanted 2010</a>Jasmine Abramshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11350947912448244523noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3587826550000223306.post-80226355074097591842011-01-12T12:59:00.000-05:002011-01-12T12:59:09.732-05:00Jasmine's Art & Demax Studio: Another snowy day<a href="http://jasmine-art-demax.blogspot.com/2011/01/another-snowy-day.html?spref=bl">Jasmine's Art & Demax Studio: Another snowy day</a>: "Mmmm....another snowy day in the Poconos!

Kids and the hubby are home. <br />I love days like this. We have a late breakfast and then we talk and reminisce on past snowy days. Later on the boys will get ready to go out-side and play in the snow. I go out too, but just to watch and take pictures. My husband is the biggest kid of all. He looks like a big Walrus sliding down our front hill. Lol. Then we'll have lunch, and watch a movie. This a always a fun time for us!<br /><br />I don't get any painting done, buts that ok with me 'cause it's day like these that we will always remember.
