Well this has been a long time… Wow. What have I been up to??, getting what I’ve been dreaming about but putting off for years. My Teaching Degree in the upper grades. Yes. I did it! Wow… What a year… the hardest most challenging, But oh so worth it Year. Straight A’s Baby. Every weekend was taken up and my Family and Home have been put on hold. Which comes to another thing that I have missed, My Art. My Art friends know how much I love doing Art. For a while there it was getting stale and not fun. I was losing my mojo and It had become what I have been dreading and what I did not want EVER… a JOB. It is my Love, My hobby and my passion. Not a Job or something that makes me question every move I make. I have a Job, a full time Job that makes me happy, I am a Teacher and it is what makes me happy everyday, yes it is possible to have a job you love. Sure I love to sell my Art and supplies on Etsy.. but that is not what I have been all about. I am much more refreshed, much more ready to share and get back to doing what I Love… My Art. I want to share what Ive been making lately.. Yes, I spent the past week getting into the pool slowly…. It feels good.
These are some Mini Art cards.. Just some jumbo playing cards, that sparks my creativity.
One of My Birthday Boxes,to hold a gift for a friend.. these usually have Birthday candles, plastic ballerina, matches and a tiny note... This one had a Gift card and a note.
A project basket filled with vintage papers, vintage ribbons, velvet flocked fabric and much more to get me started on a Doll Book that I am working on....
Ohhh I love Halloween and this new Book is Called "Something Wicked this way comes...." I cannot wait to show you the inside, its going to be good... a little creepy and alot wicked..
I went Thrifting for the First Time in I cannot remember when.. Found vintage patterns, Large Lace roll, vintage napkins to use for my collage backgrounds, Bright Pink Pom Pom trim, lots of flocked velvet fabric in different sizes and patterns and the box is filled with French cream twine...
Yes I am Happy. And I think my Daughter D is happy, remember her? She is 9 now. I know Ive missed so much in her Life this year, but I am trying to make it up daily. We put up a tent in the backyard for her to do her Summer reading. Once in a while you can catch her reading her American Girl magazine in her private little space..
I am Back and I have missed you! -
