Had loads of fun putting together the games and guest frame for my future sister-in-law’s bridal shower on Saturday. Though I didn’t get to run or play any of the games as I had a second vaccine to get I still had the most fun finding all of these beautiful crafts on Etsy and in Michael’s! . . . #bridalshower #etsy #butterfly #lavender #bridalshowerdecor #bridalshowergifts #wedding (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/COJX1bNF4Lt/?igshid=3y31mqyit9l7

Josie got some not great news today 😿 at 12 years old the tumor we had removed a few years ago has returned as a malignant mass around her pancreas. Bringing up some complex grief for us. #cancersucks #catsofinstagram #tortiesofinstagram #lithicspiral (at Englewood, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNBiOd0l277/?igshid=wea4x3kzdssv

I was asked to share these images of Bead Work by Denver based Lakota-Sioux artist Phyllis Garnier. Phyllis made the beautiful earrings featured in my Halloween portrait (look for a face painted like a skull) Reach out to myself @lithicspiral or @theafricancowgirl if something sparks your interest ❤️❤️ . . . #indiginousart #beadwork #artistshoutout #lithicspiral @nickypooh62 @stallingszea (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIG8MZIFwE_/?igshid=mmhylisyoyik

Skeleton Witch with Shiba (cause no self respecting Shiba passes up an opportunity to look fabulous!) my first attempts at full face makeup #skeletonmakeup and the mermaid pose @davidsuhphoto (thanks for the pose! we had fun ☺️🐕). The earrings are made by a Lakota artist based in Denver, if interested in a pair @theafricancowgirl has been marketing for the artist #indiginousart The Navajo beads are a family heirloom, though I don’t know of their original provenance. The pentagram is from a local shop, and hand designed. . . . #lithicspiral #spookyseason #shibasofinstagram #shibalove #skeleton #witchesofinstagram #witch #witchyvibes #mermaidpose #skeletoncat #skeletoncandle #driedroses (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHDy940leVn/?igshid=1dvpnexghz7vz

I learned last night that the Shambhala Mountain Center has been impacted by the Cameron Peak Fire 😢 In middle school my class was blessed with observing the construction of this place and were some of its first students to attend. We were even gifted some of the marble scraps from the temple’s interior mosaics. Though only buildings, this too, stings in this time of darkness. . . . #ShambhalaMountainCenter #Meditation #Prayer #WildFire (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGIKtmWFKMU/?igshid=1rh555o0gjkf4
