My wonderful and amazing mother-in-law Phyllis has Alzheimer's. My mom’s company is a part of the Memory Walk 2008. My mom’s name is Sharon. We (me and my mom) are walking in this walk for my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law and mom are pictured here together lighting the candles at my wedding. Phyllis is on the left and my mom Sharon is on the right. My mom told me I needed to earn money by way of donations for my walk participation. Hmm me, earn money? LOL. I spend money no problem. So that… Continue

Lately I have been obsessed with my art journal. I have wanted to work in an art journal for a while now but never could seem to get started. Then a great artist by the name of Sarah Whitmire posted a challenge on her blog that I happened upon. This challenge is really a daily prompt to create a spread in a journal.

I haven't been to the site in a few days... I've been cramming trying to get some art commitments completed.

There are two sets I plan to get (Friday is payday). I thought, "Wow, how cool to find… Continue

I originally started a book for her but it ended up being more of a practice/experiment book instead. So this one is 'really' just for her. I have two spreads completed and one currently in progress. I have recently heard of a university tha… Continue

I have made my first fan fold book and am posting pictures of it to my photos in just a few minutes. I went with a theme of cards/card games and included a different game for each page. Attached to the back of each page is a tag. When opened it reveals the rules for the chosen game. This will probably end up as a gift for my daughter (as she has already asked for it). I have to watch her though because she asks for every project and then no one else in the family gets any. It's good that she lik… Continue
