Blog hop

I did a little blog hopping tonight and saw some fabulous art. Check it out and you could even win some yummy stuff - http://poorscrapbooker.blogspot.com/. Enjoy the tour!!

Woohoo! Got my first journal page done. Its nothing fabulous but its done. Now to work on the rest. Feels more like pulling teeth than free flowing art but guess that will come with practice.

To be continued.....

I attended a Vision Board workshop and this is the result. It certainly shows that "my" time is at hand. It was very enlightening and the end result was far different that I imagined it would be. The teacher was excellent and had so many ideas for us to use. Here is the link to her site. Enjoy your visit - www.collageyourworld.com

New year, new start

Happy 2011!!

I hope this year is an artfilled one for everyone.

I plan to update my blog more often and post more art projects that I complete. This year its all about me and my art and I want to really get into it. I have great plans for new projects and new techniques to try out.

Here are a few projects leftover from December. A couple of scraplings and a calendar page that I traded with my AFTCM group. I am working on my daily journal and will post pictures of the pages as I do them. I did a couple of small cards too but that is not at all what I enjoy. Need more practice.

I'm very excited to start my new journal project. I'll post my process. All I need to do is work in my journal 10 minutes a day. This may be the start of a wonderful art journey.

New projects

Fall is definitely in the air here. The grandkids say it feels like Halloween. At last the really hot muggy weather has disappeared.

I finally found some time to spend in my craft room. Since I have started re-organizing it, I had to put everything in boxes to move furniture around to make way for my new storage unit. So far it is great. I would like to get another if I can make room. Now I have to unpack everything and put it away in some kind of logical order (no easy task for me who forgets just about everything). My husband tells everyone that if I put it away its not only in a safe place but filed under forgot. I sure hope this new reorg means that I will finally know where stuff is and not have to spend 3 hours searching for what I want and find it in a very unlikely spot.


New storage unit (bins)

I am in a domino book swap with my Creative Mind group and actually finished it on time. Not sure if its what is expected but hope my partner is OK with what I did. I also sent my I Hear a Symphony ATC's but forgot to take pics. Hope my partner does so that I can post here.


Ready to mail

My next project is two Witchy torso tags. I have some ideas but first need to print off the template. Will post when I get them done.

My last big project is a calendar. I have 12 pages of the month of May to do. Lots of ideas rolling around in my noggin but need to get them on paper so that I can firm things up. Hope to be able to post a sample soon. I've got some Christmas projects to do too but can't post until after Christmas because you never know who is being naughty and trying to peek.

Got myself some flower dies this weekend and oooh are they fun. I have tried making flowers out of almost everything. Need to pick 8 to send off for a swap so will sign off now and try to post a little more often.

Queen of the Night

Our Queen of the Night plant finally flowered! It only flowers once and at night. We were able to get a bunch of photos this time. It flowered last year but we missed it. My son (who brought the plant home) was pretty excited. It is a huge flower and very aromatic.
