Haiku my heart
Misunderstanding
Wasted years of no contact
Lost forever, sad!
Misunderstanding
Try to resolve it, move on
experience the joy!
Misunderstanding
I regret my stubbornness
to say I love you!
I am fortunate to recover 3 relationships that are dear to me. I almost lost them completely.
Do not let ignorance or pride Take away a precious friendship!
La Calaca /shrine
I n 2005 I took my first Tim Holtz workshop, A lighted cigar box shrine.I chose the them hollywood movies.
My tribute to old spooky movies! the Virgin Mary is there for my protection so I don't get scared. 
The godzilla is a toy I gave to my boys. You wind it up and as it walks it spits sparks!
There is a skeleton in there too so I figured it fit in with
La Calaca!

WOYWW!
This is a pin I "adapted" for a bling swap. I took a snowflake pin and added more bling by inserting 4 stud earrings with the holders on the back. you may choose a pair to wear with your pin...or not!

The art of remembering!
In 2008 I took a class with Sally Jean and made a glass house. It took me a long time to finish it over several weeks, on and off. The subject for my house was of a small 2" x 2" leather envelope I found in my mother's wallet after she died and I was cleaning and sorting her belongings. I never knew she carried it with her all those years and she never showed it to me. I am so glad I took the time to follow through with this project. Here's what I learned!
It takes TIME to create memories with art or words, but worth every second. I will try and slow done and enjoy my memories!
Below is the original post on my blog in 2008!

People who live in glass houses!!!
The House I built in Sally Jean's class!!!!
Here's the story I was talking about!!!!
I found a little leather(2"x2") black photo holder that folded in half and it was tucked in my mom's wallet.
I opened it up and inside were 3 small photos.
1 of mom
1 of daddy
1 of the 2 of them in their swim suits!
It gets better!
Also there were 2 folded pieces of paper.
1 piece was just plain note pad paper.
In my mom's writing,"
"When I think of him I shall smile!"
The other note was written on the back of an alterations claim stub for Marshall Field & Company. 11-10-45.
This note was written in my dad's handwriting. It read,
"I've fallen in love with my darling all over again - it's a grand feeling."
The date corresponds with the month my dad went off to Marine boot camp.
My mom carried it with her all her life. I only knew about it after she died(91!)
Now, isn't that the most romantic thing ever???????
So, I made copies and transparencies of the originals(safely tucked away) and incorporated them in the glass house. Sally jean was so nice about helping me figure out how the pieces would show off the best, but I did it all myself! As you can tell with the wonky soldering(first time). I like to think that it gives it an "antique" feeling!
