As I write this, we have finished the second paint-in for
the poinsettia projects. What a lovely way to spend the
day; listening to the rain and painting poinsettias. As I
look at the finished pieces, they are all so beautiful and
each is unique. I got so tired on one of the paint-ins, I
spelled my name wrong as I signed the finished piece. I
guess that’s when you know its time to pack up and paint
again another day.
I want to thank all you wonderful painters that are work-
ing on the quilt and on the convention table decorations.
We will definitely take tickets and pictures for the mar-
ketplace in Wichita. I selfishly want someone in our
chapter to buy the winning ticket for the quilt, but a fund-
raiser is a fundraiser so we need to share the opportunity.
We had lots of fun at the March meeting. Have you fin-
ished your apron? And those green costumes. What
wonderful creative imaginations you all have. I can
hardly wait for the next meeting in April to see the Easter
baskets and bonnets. If you would like to donate your
basket to the Tender Life children, let Terrie know. She
is investigating to see how many children might want
them.
See you on the 11th of April!

RECIPE BOX
Unbelievably Good and Easy Cookies This is so simple, you won't believe how good they are! 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1 8 oz pkg. cream cheese (I used the 1/3 less fat variety) 1 egg 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 (18.5 oz) box devils food cake mix Cream butter and cream cheese, blend in egg and vanilla. Add dry cake mix about 1/3 at a time mixing well after each addi-tion. Chill 30 minutes. Drop by scant teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. makes 6 to 8 dozen. Makes a good soft cookie. Use any flavor cake mix, roll dough in waxed paper before putting in fridge and just slice off little hunks instead of making spoonfuls, use parchment baking paper on the cookie sheet.... they won't stick and there is no messy pan to wash!

You may ask: What does a health tip have to do with an artist? It’s
what we do the most while painting. We sit for prolonged periods of
time and that is not good for us. We need to do things differently so we
can feel better and have energy to have the inspiration to create.
By sitting so long at a time it can create. . .
Sore shoulders
Lower back pain
Neck strain which can cause headaches and tension to the shoul-
ders.
Sitting for so long decreases some of the circulation to the lower
legs and feet and can cause swelling.
If you have an injury or ailment it requires blood supply to heal, so
prolonged sitting reduces circulation and delays healing.
Try to take a deep breath while leaning forward painting. Your
breathing becomes shallow which decreases the oxygen to the brain
and extremities.
There is an easy fix! Something very simple! It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s free….just stand up
more and do a few stretches. Standing will also give you another perspective or view of your art
work and you may see that you need to add a little more highlight to an area or something
needs to be toned down. Move your painting to different rooms and view it in different lighting.
That can really give you a better feeling whether your values and intensities are correct.
Here are a few easy stretches that should be done slowly:
1. Stretch your arms to the sky and wiggle your fingers.
2. Roll your shoulders in a circle clockwise and then counter clockwise.
3. Look to the right then look to the left. Look up and then down. Take your right ear to your
right shoulder then your left ear to your left shoulder. Please do not roll your neck in a circular
motion or that could cause other problems.
4. As you are standing shake one leg and then the other. This will help to get the blood to flow
to the lower extremities.
The breaks we take don’t have to be long but they do have to be frequent to have an impact. If
you are a teacher, you might consider having your students stand up every so often. This will
help to keep them energized and not feel so tired when the class is over.
So let’s make it a point to separate ourselves from our chair throughout the day and stand up
and stretch. You’ll feel much better!

Meet Bella, owner Cindy Worthy says Bella is a good dog, mostly!
She was a recue dog at 6 pounds and is now 70 pounds of love.
She is a huge thief. She steals anything she can. She is a girlie-girl
she loves shoes, not to wear, but to eat. Clothes, pillows and of course
newspapers are a favorite treat. She has also eaten the TV
remote, a telephone and many dish cloths, mmmm good!!!
Her favorite toy is a tennis ball,
which is the only toy that lasts longer
than 5 minutes. Thanks, Cindy,
she looks like a great family pet,
despite her diet!
What is Rosemaling?
Rosemaling is the beautiful Norwegian folk painting, which dates
from the 17th century. This unique style of painting, with its graceful scrolls, leaves, and flowers, was influenced by the Viking
woodcarvings and metalwork of the 9th century, as well as the Acanthus leaf and Baroque style borrowed from Greece and
Rome. Rosemaling has been steadily gaining popularity in the
United States since the early 1950's..
Vesterheim is a national treasure that explores the diversity of
American immigration through the lens of Norwegian-American
experience, showcases the best in historic and contemporary Norwegian folk and fine arts. http://vesterheim.org/index.php
