Executive decision!!!!!

Thank you!
Thank you very much!!!

Playlist is discontinued due to the fact is was driving me crazy....even though I love the songs! I usually do all my art in the quiet of my studio. Even when I go for a walk I do not listen to any music. I like the sound of silence. I received 2 comments re playlist and I really appreciate the feedback!

So, please continue to come by and if you want listen to your ipod!

Turn down your volume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just added playlist and don't know what I am doing...seems a little loud to me! I tend to like the music with alota beat to it!

Let me know if it drives anyone nuts and I'll remove it!

Rather have friends come by than have playlist on my blog!!!

How my crazy mind works!!!!

In 1990 I had this idea! I had no grandbabies and wanted to shop for baby clothes. So I found this bear in the Tender Heart catalog which was just about 1 year old size. Now I could go shopping! I bought new outfits and accessories for each bear (35)! I thought they would make great baby shower gifts! Then, another idea....what about those favorite outfits of your own or others special baby outfits we saved in a box...now, we had someone to wear the clothes again! How about a 3 or 4 year old who could dress the bear in their old clothes. Or big sister or brother who could dress their own baby! Anyway, it was fun and I sold them all! Some went to new mothers and some went to grandchildren of buyers.

121 4"x4" pages for recycle technique FAT book!

I am 1 of 120 participants in a technique fat book with the theme of using recycled material. I chose shredded paper from the shredder!!!!! What was I thinking? I used 6 full sheets of arches 300 lb watercolor paper. Sprayed craft spray adhesive to the papers and then sprinkled the shredded paper, sshmoosed it down, more spray, more paper. Let it dry. I used tim holtz colorwash inks and glitter mists. I layered several colors on the papers. The squares have a soft sparkle to them. After they were dry I laid a double piece of waxed paper on the papers and ironed them as flat as I could. Then.....cut, cut, cut, cut etc.
