Inspired by Donna

Here is the flower I did with oil pastels after I saw Donna's canvas for Rosie. Her flower just talked to me and I had to try out oil pastels. Check out Donna Downey's here.

Spoiled Rotten.... and love it!!!!!!!!

Well today is my birthday.... 35 big ones. As I sit here reading blog entries from my favorites bloggers I realize how blessed I am. I have 2 wonderful and beautiful girls and a husband that gets me exactly what I want for my birthday and for Christmas. I have been wanting a good 12x12 printer since my last one died last year. So guess what I got......... I can't believe I got it. Isn't he wonderful!!! Love you honey!!

Oh I am almost late.....

I said I was going to post something this weekend. I had high hopes but man the time flies. I can not believe it is already late Sunday night and I still have not had time to post. I started 2 new crafts. Ya Ya I am sure you are saying you already "try" to make time for Quilting, Scrapbook, stamping. Most of all trying to raise my kids the best way I know.

You ask what new crafts.... well I have been watching Suzi Blu..... I love this lady she is an artist and a lovely lady. She is a mixed media artist. I love her work. Well with following her blog I have started working with pastels, oils, watercolor, and beeswax. YA!!! She gives me encouragement to try new things. Check her out at suziblu.net

Also I have found Donna Downey. OK this lady. Can I just say WOW!!!! I have been following her also for the last months and just love her. She just makes me excited to try new things.

Then I found Michelle Ward she is the Gothic artist I can't get enough of.

Then last but surely not the least Tim Holtz. OK I knew of his products for a long time now. However I was alway afraid of them. I am not a grunge type really however I love his blog he started. Then I totally got hooked on his products when he did his 12 Tags of Christmas. Check it out however it will enable you!!!!!

Ok so what have I been creating!!!! Well I have a bracelet I made I actually soldered and wore it to work. My husband doesn't like it however I loved it. Anyway this leads me to another thing I started and found 2 ladies I enjoy looking at there work. Josie and Sally Jean. I actually took the class with Josie and had a blast. My plans were to post a picture of mine on this blog. HOWEVER I just had to fix one thing....... well those of you that know me know I am a little bit of a perfectionist. I mean even Josie was like stop being a perfectionist. I couldn't help it. I know it was my first time ever picking up a soldering gun however I tried my hardest to make it perfect. So of course when I got home I had to "fix" it. Well it is still in pieces. I am hoping to finish it this week so I can post it.

I also have not had the time to take a picture of my beeswax collage I made with Mike. Ya he is another artist I will be watching.

Anyway I do have 2 pictures to share. These are the ATCs I did for Taylor's exchange last month.

Where have I been?......

Well talk about poor blogger. I have not posted for over a month. What is up with that?! All I have to say is LIFE just happens! I can't not believe it has been this long. If I still have any readers out there I will be posting some fun stuff this weekend. Even though I have not blogged in over a month I have still been creating. I have Christmas cards, pastel paintings, art drawings, bracelets, and beeswax on canvas. YES I really have all these.

I found an artist on EBAY that I love. I love all her water color pencil drawings. I have to admit I paint lifted...... sorry I had to this mermaid just called to me and it was sold on email so I couldn't get her. Well I got her out of my system however I still love all the mermaids Hannah Disney creates. Check her out. I will post the mermaid I did from her art.

I took 2 classes from a local scrapbook store and I will post that. You can actually see me on the stores blog. I am the one on the the far left of the first picture. My mom is in the forth picture in the far right back corner. Check it out is you like.

Look for more post this week. Thanks for taking the time to read this blog!!!!!
