A Good Day To Fly

Here's another idea from Somerset Apprentice -

Wire Tree

This idea came from the Somerset Studio Nov. Dec magazine. The article and art is by Becky Shander. I love this ! So many possibilities -

Come Fly With Me

I just got the fall  2012 edition of the Somerset Apprentice magazine. This is my take on the mixed media piece on the cover by Sharon Borsavage.

Trying a New Style

Lately I have been attracted to the style of Mindy Lacefield - Tim's Sally . I don't know what is about it, but I really  like it. So I thought I would try it myself. Here are a couple of attempts.

I like the second one best. i need to find some better lighting to take photos in the house.

Back Again

I change my craft room around. I took out the dining table and put in a desk and a bookshelf. It looks a lot neater! (Well, for now . . . )

never mind the messy kitchen in the background

And here I am in action.

when i looked at this photo i thought 'o my gosh, i look like my aunt jeanette!'

Looking Back On 2012

Sometimes I think that 2012 has been the longest year of my life - even though I literally missed half of it lying in bed out of it. I learned a lot - about myself, my faith, my family, friends and even strangers. I also learned just how little I really know! Of course your whole world changes in a millisecond when you come face to face with what you believe to be the Grim Reaper. My first thought was "O My God - I'm not through yet!"  I was terrified until I found my Faith. With the loving help and encouragement of family and friends and doctors and God, I slowly recovered ( and still am recovering ) and here I am at the end of 2012. Alive and well, with more appreciation of the world around me than I ever dreamed was possible. Every second is a blessing. Never fear, I'm still crazy goofy me, but somehow I'm happier.

Enough of that - a new year is coming quick - I have a new lease on life! Thanks to all the people that helped me through 2012 ( you know who you are ).



   HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
