The Cinnamon Mystery

Dad brought me home some cinnamon essential oil he found at a thrift store and I put it in my office difuser  thingy and got some on my hands … Dad and I took off for our daily trek to safeway and while in the produce section a nice young man moved closer and asked about my day … while walking past the tuna section a gentleman nodded saying, "How are you?"

I swear while in line the guy behind me was inching closer while asking what perfume I was wearing …. Yikes!

I'm not look'n … just say'n.

Do they make cinnamon clothing or shoes?

True Genius

From the minute she gets up until she heads to bed at night … she's at her easel.  She watches other TV artists … leafing through photos or books & especially her own art instruction books. Looking for an inspiration for painting trees or mountains.

It's hard work to be a genius.

Her paintings are beautiful even with failing eyesight … and she's 89 years old.

If you want to be inspired and view Donna's popular art instruction books or download a print from one of her latest paintings please visit www.CranberryStudios.Etsy.com We'd love to see you there.

Yes …. I am building a future for my 90 year old folks and myself. Even with the good life we now have, I am thinking ahead. With my dad's good business sense and my mom's creativity we ventured out into an Etsy Shop www.CranberryStudios.Etsy.com where we have posted some great items … mom's pictures and downloads of her works … my exciting Jigsaw Puzzle Art .. Ha.   

I am thrilled to be doing my Mannatech Supplements as a business also www.mannamotion.com/329848 … It's important to me to design my own future!

Especially at my age … I am a big supporter of many home businesses. I don't want life to just wash over me … I want to enjoy the swim.... I invite you to visit my websites and as always …             hugs xoxoxo

Never Give Up

Last year mom put her paints away thinking she'd never paint again …. her eyesight had worsen …. but, the pull was too great.  Out they came and to her surprise she is painting better than ever. She has published many popular art instruction books through the years but, I feel her paintings are just as fabulous now.  Please check out some of her newer works now at CranberryStudios.Etsy.com and enjoy a few of her previous art books.  Never give up … Hugs xoxoxo
