Sorry I didn't plan to drop off the face of the Earth...been feeling under the weather the past few days-I woke up with a cold sore on Thursday and while that seems like no big deal, for me it means three days of low grade fever and feeling like a pile of poop-not to mention the fact that my fac...

I have a confession to make....I am afraid of strong winds. Needless to say the past 24 hours have not been pleasant for me. I think sleep came in 10-15 intervals last night but most of the time I laid there with a pillow over my head trying to block out the sound. We have a wall of windows in our b...

When I was going through things for the new studio I came across this package of tags- I think I got them at a yard sale for a quarter but I was thinking that they could be the basis for a kind of self challenge. I also came across a LOT of stamps in my collection that I have never used..I am talkin...

This is Willie-my daughter's turtle-isn't he the cutest? I adore his nose...he pretty much sleeps most of the time,he can't swim so his tank only has enough water for him to just barely be covered,he can't really have anything else in his tank because he flips himself over trying to ...

I thought I wanted an Outback until I sat in one and it was hardly any bigger than my Neon...I was starting to feel claustrophobic in my car, not enough steel between me and the crazy drivers!

I love to window shop-just browse -probably because I never have any money to actually buy beautifully hand crafted thing but still I can enjoy their beauty and appreciate the workmanship....I thought I'd show a few of the things that have taken my breath away on Etsy lately...talk about a treas...

I have quite a few people asking me how it is going with selling on-line-if I am sure I made the right decision in closing my store...I really miss my store, I miss seeing my favorite customers ( I don't miss my "not so favorites"-LOL)-I miss feeling like I have reason to be creative a...

I know its pretty hard to think about Christmas when it is so gorgeous outside-it about 65 degrees today and the sun is just shining like crazy! But I won this stamp on Ebay a couple weeks ago and couldn't keep my hands off of it so here is first card of the 2008 Holiday Season.... The stamp is ...

Oh October- I do love you so-my favorite month ( even though our house burned down in October-tomorrow will 6 years,can you believe it??) I love the smell of October,the sunny days-the chilly nights,the colors, the way the light is different,all the wildlife scurrying around to get ready for winter,...
