I have created yet another monster!  Don’t forget that, once I start making something that is special to me, I just can’t stop!  These are so much fun to pump out and I can see it already…this is my next crafty phase!  :)  Man, and I just got my studio organized…

Some news…. hop on over to Pam’s blog, my dear, Aries Gypsy.  She is looking for artsy folks to do an ATC swap~~ get ready for this… the theme for this swap is anything Volkswagen bus!  How cool~ considering that a big, bright orange bus with a camper pop-top was our family vehicle until I was a teenager!  :)  They hold a special place in my heart, those awesome VW buses!  Check it out and leave Pam a comment if you’d like to participate!!  I know that I’ll be busy, count me in!!!

My dear Deb at~- Sparkling Scrapbooks -~sent me a box filled with handmade and heartfelt MaGiC~

This is what was waiting next to my front door this afternoon.  OH MY GOSH!!!!!  Deb and I did an Alice swap and she absolutely SPOILED ME ROTTEN!  Look at all of this… WONDERLAND!!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are so good to me!!!  I am still in awe and drooling over my new yummies!   I truly am at a loss for words to thank you!

***oxoxoxoxox***

The pictures do NOT do these pieces any justice at all.  Some of you may know that my camera is on it’s last leg.  Still, no screen… yet I had this bright idea….ready?  Since everything else was working fine, I thought that I’d try to still take pictures and upload, even though I couldn't SEE anything that I was taking a picture of!  *YIKES*  I ended up taking about 30 shots~ hoping that even if only a couple turned out, that’d be awesome… and IT WORKED!  I won’t ever know if the pictures are in focus or if I’m even capturing the desired image, but it’s getting me by, at least in the meantime.  I am so glad that you could take a tiny peek… I hope to get this dilemma remedied soon!

Thank you again so much for your thoughtfulness, Deb!  You are so special to me!

A wish for today.

Doodling lately…

artsy 021

artsy 034

These are SO old, I stumbled across them  in a forgotten sketchbook of mine and recently, started to play with  them again.  I  find old works that I was really never happy with~ set aside and forgotten… picking them up again and re-working them with a fresh mind is always inspiring for me.  (Painting over the whole thing and starting over usually happens to most of them! )  I find a lot of these rejects floating around in my studio…:)
