WELCOME TO MY "GET AWAY" PLACE

Sometimes we need to have someplace to go to help our minds relax from all the stress we encounter. Believe me, I am no different, because there is "always something" going on. I love to go into my own little world to read and explore all the things people are doing with their talents in the art fields. I have learned so much in a short time by watching videos and reading blogs of very generous people who freely give of their time to share their art with others. Thank you to all of you. You have inspired me, and I hope as I continue to post on this blog, I may someday inspire you.

Finally got the pictures to post and they came out sideways!!!!!! So sorry.


fabric friend book

I am trying to post a "friend book" I made. I used a couple of 3.5" diskettes, you know the ones we all have sitting around. And you know me...I don't throw ANYTHING away! I covered these disks with fabric and then punched a hole in the corner with the Big Bite (Croc-o-dile) punch. Inside the pages have various quotes devoted to friendship. The rest of the pages are blank that can be used for pictures or whatever........The last page has a little envelope to put something in. This was great fun. If I could figure out how to put a slide show on this blog I would....but me, not being computer savvy, will have to figure that out later. Right now my blog will not even let me post a picture. OH..... I need to figure this out! It is driving me crazy

Started doing some new things







I finally finished some new projects. A good friend of mine was taking a trip to England and I made her a little journal for her to record her experiences. It was the first time I made a fabric covered journal

I also altered a picture of an old post office/store that just recently went out of business because of the economy. So sad. It was a very quaint place. This was done in a distressed look. Hope to keep my inspiration on a roll. I will post again tomorrow. As a side note I do want to thank the kind words about my dog Tasha. She was really special.

I will remember Tasha 1996-2009

Yesterday was a really bad day. One of my best friends died. My precious pet, Tasha. She was a wonderful, one of a kind dog. Never any trouble and she will be missed terribly. My heart is hurting
