This morning!

It was so sunny today, I had to get out and take pictures of the spring bulbs before another rain comes!

Crabapple is getting ready to "bust". Wait til you see it in full bloom!

Then after I took the pictures I made myself a piece of cinnamon toast!!!

I started this collage a few weeks ago. I decided to mount it on a 10"x10" board with stand so it stands like a framed picture. I gessoed and colored the background and added the leaves and basket on the bottom. I think it has a more "finished" look!

Here, I made something for you

Altered peggy!

The first three-count-em-three-3 people that respond to this post will get something made by me, it will be my choice, but made especially for you!However, this offer does have some restrictions and limitations (known at the 'fine print.")***What I create will be just for you.***You will receive this item before the end of the year, or sooner.***You will have no idea what the item is going to be or when you will receive it.***The catch is that you have to respost this memo and put something together to be sent out as 3 surprises of your own!What a fun way to share our work and get to see others up close and personal!

I took this post from tristan's blog! It sounded like fun!

One of my favorite places!
www.artchixstudio.com
A selection of ORIGINAL collage sheets. If you are not a customer of this site, you should check it out!
I am posting this for tuesday on monday because I will be unavailable tomrrow(tue). Why? I am having book club here on wednesday and I suggested the book "The Last Chinese Chef"! I started the book 3 weeks ago and it is really good! But "art" got in my way and I haven't finished it! Since I lead the discussion, it would probably be a good idea if I read the book! We are having chinese food to go along with the discussion!
So tomorrow I will spend reading like crazy!
See you all wednesday morning with the next addition to the giveaway. You only need to comment ONCE to be eligible for any of the items!

Thanks for stopping by!
