Almost finished with paperwork for school. Cincy State has a new graphics Imaging program! Waiting for my Perkins loan to defer. Not currently thinking about painting. I do need to post a pic of my finished monster piece. There is talk about using it for Free Sophia’s upcoming album cover. That would be a dream come true. Mostly I need to get to the beach in South Haven ASAP!

Here is a glimpse at a new piece I am working. I’m not sure what it means. Or How I even feel about it. But, it’s what came out so far. I’m thinking of calling it “Dreams”, “Voodoo”, “It’s a Dream”, “It’s all a Dream”, “Lil Mamas”. Maybe “Lil Mamas”. I’m not to sure. It’s not finished yet.

It’s a painting day! The sun was out for a few minutes but now it’s gloomy. “Tutt Tutt looks like rain”.

It’s awfully confusing when everything seems right and then you find out it’s not. I have woken up the last 3 days expecting to be at the apartment and then when I open my eyes I find myself bunking in my brothers room and everything comes flooding back to me. I’m a toughie so I’ve been putting on a good face but my stomach is a mess. I feel like running far away. I feel like time traveling back to last week. I am going to have to write a book on my life and love relationships. This one really takes the cake. I knew what I wanted and now I am just lost.

Kyle Carte and I will be married in 9 days. Yesterday we ran around getting the last few things on our list. We got our marriage licence. I was so excited that I almost called everyone in my phonebook. Then Kyle reminded me that everyone already knows we are getting married. It would have been funny though. We found rings that we are really happy with and didn’t cost us our entire budget. I picked up my shoes for the big day. Kyle got his pants. I must say, they are sexy pants! Marnie’s dress finally came in and we found our minister. A good friend of ours has a very down to earth mom who happens to be an ordained minister. We were going to have my brother Jake marry us but the timing made it difficult to get registered with the state in time. We are still going to ask him to speak at the ceremony. Everything is perfect!

Today we fell into the idea of performing “Wild Thing” at the wedding. It’s in less than 11 days! Very excited and getting our rings his week. Oh, and we are getting the marriage licence this week too. My friend Jeff says that he even knows a minister who is non denominational. Hurray for us!

I started on the decor section today. I’m going to be and painting some mirrors. They should be up and running soon on this site. My funding will run out by the end of July so I am really trying to get my act together. After the wedding I should have a lot of free time to get moving on decor. Hopefully accessories with my good friend Lara Carl and then onto apparel. I can’t wait for it to come together.

I have this list of fun ideas for decor and apparel. I need to get cracking on them. I also need to do laundry.

Question of the day. Can jewelry be haunted, cursed, possessed, or hold some kind of negative energy?

Let me start by telling a story: I once begged my sisters to go into this old antique mall. I had driven by it everyday for a few months and it was never open when I did. Well, we were there not more than 10 minutes when one of my sisters insisted that we leave. I asked could she wait just a little bit longer. But, she was insistent and seemed frightened. Upon leaving the store she told me why we had to leave so quickly. Apparently, she picked up several items and when she did she said she could see people like they were alive. People who weren’t there. I can understand this. My family has always had some sort of intuition about these things.

My initial question comes from a piece of jewelry I’ve owned for a short time now. Every time I put it on something comes over me. I get grouchy and anxious, angry even. I took the piece off over a week ago and everything went back to normal happy times. (As much as cheery Becca can be. I am a grouchy girl sometimes anyway.) Well, yesterday I thought to myself “why shouldn’t I wear this piece?” It means a lot to me and it is beautiful as well. Shortly after putting it back on I was overcome with anger and was anxious all day. Nothing could cheer me up. Everything became a problem just being in everyday life. I made up negative scenarios in my head about what people were thinking and doing. I kept it on last night when I went to bed. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, was grouchy and anxious all over again. I realized this and immediately took it off. Dropped my love off at school and upon returning home I got to thinking. Could my jewelry be haunted? Or is it just me being silly?

I did a little research online and found that there are plenty of people claiming the same feelings as my own, with jewelry or antiques that had no significance to them and no real meaning. Apparently such items are coveted and collected by many. I found several sites dedicated to just that. But, they all forewarned of actually using or putting on theses objects, for the “severity” they may cause in the life of any person harboring such an object. Thoughts? Comments? Think I’m nuts? Let me know.

I was feeling like painting and came across a paint-by-number set lying in my giant art bin of possible projects. I replaced the colors each number stood for with my own idea. It’s fun. Try it sometime. Here’s what turned out. Also, look for DECOR coming soon, here at rebeccakofron.com.
