Sorry it's been so long since I have visited.
Alot going on . . . Youngest son, Kevin joined Air Force in Oct. We went to TX to see him graduate from basic training. He's home for the holidays. He's going to school in So CA until May.
We hope to go see him on his 21st birthday in March.
I have since re-did his room into a guest room /art studio.
So I have a place to create . . .
I try and come back and post some pictures of the room. I think it turned out pretty good. I like having all my stuff in one place.
So does DH.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & Have a Happy New Year!!
Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my altered dictionary. Can't say I came up with the idea on my own, but I loved it and am doing my thing with it. It's great to think on all the blessings in your life. I'm on G for garden right now. I used to have a lovely picket fence garden many years ago. When I started working fulltime it went to weeds. We worked on it last weekend and found several old english rose bushes. One I had planted in honor of my mom "Evelyn", it's a gorgeous yellow, with a spicy floral aroma. I hope it blooms. Here in Central Ohio we have to wait until late June to early July for our roses.
Anyways we found the garden again and are planning to try to re-develop it into something lovely again. I'll keep you posted.
Deb: I live in San Diego and hear about Serendipity all the time but never have been....must do that. I love your altered dictionary pages...what could be a better canvas for altering than a dictionary so you can focus your art on a specific word. beautiful.
oh we're getting that icky rain down here in Kentucky too. blah blah and blah. I LOVE Longaberger and honestly believe my sister is in the running for Basket Queen. lol With the price of gas, it's a wonder we all aren't out buying horses.
My picture is on talk like a pirate day last year. We all got Long John Silver's hats and wore them.
I am working on an altered Dictionary right now. It's titled Life's Blessings. I'll do some scans soon and add them.

Profile Information
About Me:
I worked full time for The Longaberger Company up to two weeks ago (March 2009). I have been married 26 years. We have 2 grown sons. And I love being able to create again. It took a co-worker to get me back to my inner artist. She got me involved with scrapbooking with her friends. Another co-worker sells for Stampin' Up! So I started into that. Then I started going to different conventions and now I have landed where I am supposed to be. Altered Art. And I Love It!!
Where I'm from:
I was born in Ohio. Raised in California. Now I'm back in Ohio.
About my Art:
I love color and texture. I like a "shabby chic" look to things. My husband and I have always antiqued, so I love to use vintage things in my art. I have just sent back a traveling journal to Serendipity in CA. It was a lot of fun. I am doing postcards with another group on yahoo. I am a CTMH consultant and am doing some swaps there too.
I am going to take some online classes for PhotoShop and some other software programs and I am going to try to get into the graphic design field within the next few years, maybe even with Longaberger.
I created 2 photobucket albums and slideshows today. I had a snow day and decided to play outside with my camera and then came inside to play on the computer.
Looks like it will be back to work tomorrow.
