(art print now available in my shop)
Today I am celebrating 7 years of blogging. Yup, 7 years.
I’ve been doing this for so long now, that doing a blog post is just part of my day, my week, my life. It has affected me in so many ways — how I think and how I see things — but most importantly, the connections I’ve made over the years through this little place in the big world wide web.
I am incredibly grateful for all that I have learned, for all that I have done and for all of you who have touched my life.
It is kismet!
Thank you for 7 years.
*******************************************
Now, it wouldn’t be a Creative Kismet blogiversary celebration without a little giveaway. So, this year I am giving away SEVEN mini-prints (yes, mini ~ because 7 is a lot!). Leave a comment telling me which print you like best (take a look HERE – I’ve added a few new prints!). The winners will receive either a 5 x 5 or 5 x 7 inch print and be announced on Saturday!
i love the elephants……ready to fly elephant and bird friend, be happy and dance, practice…..i also really like the red barn, sundrops, sunflower bird……i can go on your art is beautiful!
I LOVE your art work.. it would be so hard to decide on a favorite… Love the new little bluebird ‘Yippee Yay Hooray’… and the ready to fly.. and your frida’s… All your art is beautiful!
I love them all, but I love “Today is a Beautiful Day, Bird and Bloom” – such a great message would be uplifting to see every single day. Thanks for this great opportunity to win one! I’m hoping:)

Congratulations on your blogging anniversary! Your giveaway is so very generous. If I were to win my favorite is Silence.
Congratulations on 7 years in blog land! I am inspired by your art work and there are so many that I love, but my favorite is Believe in Your Dreams. Find Your Sparkle and Treasure Bird were close runner ups, but it’s hard to pick just one.
Can’t wait to see what create now that you have taken the leap of faith into the next chapter of your life. Thanks for sharing the journey.
Your blog is beautiful and inspiring (discovered it a week ago via Carla Sonheim), may it last for at least another 7 years!
As for the prints, they are all beautiful, however the owl won my heart.
Congratulations, Regina. You’re an inspiration! I like “be grounded” best.
Congratulations Regina – 7 BLOG years is like 7 Hollywood marriage years! No one was blogging back then so you really were a visionary. “Today is a Beautful Day – Bird and Bloom” called to me. I think as today we had the first signs that not only is Autumn here, but that Winter is just a few blinks away, I need something to remind me to snap out of the damp and gloom … to remember that each hour of each day really can be special. It’s just what you choose to make – with your beautiful print I’ll remember to choose Happiness. 🙂 Thanks!
Oh I love them all, but the Yippee Yay Hooray bird is MARVELOUS!!!
I love, love, love “Live Brightly”!!! I would be thrilled to own it. Congrats on seven years!
Congratulations on seven years of providing a calm and loving voice to the blog world. I would love to win the Little bluebird of Happiness, it speaks to me.
I am so blessed to have known you and feel the comfort of your friendship.
I am so glad I stumbled upon your site/blog about a year ago I love it and find the pieces you do very inspiring! Thank you for contributing such worthwhile, inspiring creative content online. I love all your work because they are truely unique and beautiful! I love your beautiful style and technique in each of your paintings and would love to have one of my very own prints…I love the print that says “Give Thanks Every Single Day” it’s my fav. Keep creating beautiful work! TaraLee Houston
Congrats on your blog anniversary! thank you for keeping the light of inspiration shining for us Regina! Love you and your art. Yes, very difficult to choose a favourite but am soooooo in love with RED BARN at the moment. :o)
Wishing you a happy and prosperous next 7 years!!!!

“The Red Barn”. It signifies a home (to me) surrounding by beauty… and trees. I love and require lots of trees. 🙂
Regina: congratulations for your anniversary! My favorite print is Iam the home, i fell in love with that one at first glance. Im at Argentina so, i dont know if u can afford the mailing of a print, but thanks for the gift of your presence here, anyways. Thanks for the colors and your brightness.
Blesses for you

Congrats Regina! Your artwork is lovely and always makes me smile. I also like to find recipes on your “Yummy” vegan board on Pinterest. I can see your “Blue Jar of Roses” hanging in my new studio.
Wishing you many more blogging years!

Congratulations! Seven years is a really long time, and you have so much beautiful work to show for it! I adore your “Live Brightly” print. So lovely! 🙂
I have to say that I love them all, but my favorite is ‘Find Your Sparkle! ‘ What a great message that would be to get up to every day and get the creative juices flowing. I just found your blog tonight, but congrats on 7 years of blogging! I write but have gotten away from it and I’ve really missed it. Now that I have the time I want to get back into it and also back into my art and try some new things, so I’ll be coming back here a lot for inspiration!! Thanks for the chance to win some of your beautiful work!
Too hard to decide! My favorites are Owl Always Love You and Today is a Beautiful Day. I am working on a quilt that has been long titled Owl Always Love You!
Oh, Regina, thank you or sharing 7 years of your life with us! You know I love Day Dreaming because she looks so much like my Smokey…
Love them all…your elephant is the cutest! But…my daughter in law would LOVE the ‘Owl Always Love You’ for my granddaughter’s room!
Yay for 7 years! I have loved your art since we met at a breastfeeding fair several years ago and I won one of your prints in the raffle. I would so enjoy another print of yours. I love the new “Yipee, Yay Hooray” painting! All of your art is so inspirational and lovely.
I just love ” I am home” ….would look so pretty next to my “Be Grounded” I recently bought from you!! Happy 7th Birthday!!
**Regina congratulations on 7 years**….really fantastic achievement and you should be very proud of yourself lovely one. I visit your blog almost daily and love, love your art and the heart you put in it. One day I hope to as good as you…and I’m still painting…and getting braver thanks to the Art of giving course. I love the colours and the message on the ‘Find your sparkle’ painting…but they are all fantastic.xx Have a joy filled weekend.x
Happy, happy blogaversary Regina!! 7 years is impressive! Thanks for all the years of beauty. I know I’ve missed the giveaway boat but wanted to say how much I love your Ocean’s Voice print. I’m an ocean girl… xx
