Yeah yeah yeah by the way... since we placed an order with them we get another 10% off our next order making our copics 3.76 cents each. Let me know if anyone wants some. Will be placing another order in a month.

What a difference a week makes

Chip board houses cool

The loot

My goodies from http://www.collagestuff.com/

an amzing place to shop. check it out

At least I wasn't chewing gum

What a day? Let me say that again....What a day
First off I am walking in the parking lot and my feet missed the speed bump so guess who went down? ME ME ME
Broke my glasses, bruised (update hairline fracture) on those two ribs and needed two stiches but I opted for Steri STrips othewise I would have a scar to match my other one.
But hey at least I wasn't chewing gum at the time. The Dr. said I would be in severe pain for two weeks at a minimum not for the head but the ribs. How stupid am I?????
I so wanted to come home tonight and work on my altered book but instead I will be nursing two ribs and popping pain pills.

oiy vey

Spring is in the Air

Look what we found in our weeping cherry tree. I should add that we have a zoom camera so the little birds were not disturbed at all. Mama bird was out hunting for food. There are four of these little guys. They were hatched this morning.

Inky Fingers and all today

Working on my altered book for Jeri and in a rut. I am thinking Herbs hummmmmmmmm. Got one whole page done and three started. When using inks to color pages...you have inky fingers. Will post new art tomorrow. Can't post the book but will post some other stuff I have been working on. Sending out a huge order for Copic Markers tomorrow. Laurel and Carolyn (kariberry) and I are placing a huge order for those silly things. I do have to say it is the best way to ever color anything.

Even more

I just listed about 30 more stamps many are of Darcie Country Folk stamps that are no longer available and a really unique sun through the forest stamps along with some cute and artsy seasonal stamps. Check them out.

Whew almost done with all my excess then I can buy buy buy buy more...

I just love this picture of my sister Toni

This was my favorite one of hers. She looks fantastic here. I love those blue eyes.

Oooopppsss She did again

Okay ladies and gents ( if there is one) I just posted oh let's say about 40 unmounted and wood mounted stamps on etsy. If you like vintage go take a look

here is a sample of what I posted just now and am still doing

look what came in today

Somerset Studio's latest mag....however believe it or not one of the articles in the workshop is in this one too.

For Molly Toni's Mom

For Molly
I used the glideabella stamp from www.stampingbella.com and of course my copic markers. Hope you like her

Holy smokes welcome

I just noticed on the side that I have visitors from all over the world. WELCOME... I hope you find what you are looking for. I enjoy painting, stamping, and just creating art for friends. I also will just ramble on some days. So welcome and leave a message let me know something about you. My life is an open book here on this blog which I am sorry to say is getting full. When the time comes and I have to start a new blog I will let you all know where to go. I went back and deleted some pictures to allow for new. But hey..... what is a girl to do? Blogger only allows so much memory right????
Anyway, seriously I would love to hear from everyone. Don't be a stranger. I have met some wonderful people off this blog and enjoy so much the time we have spent.
We share art, stories, rare finds and just everyday ramblings.
hugs to all

well you can kinda get the idea

these are copic markers.... they cost a small fortune but I am so going to get more of these suckers. I totally love the coloring of them... I just had to show you glideabella in action. I should be done with her today so ignore the outside lines they will be gone and the whole thing will be on a canvas. This little gal is 8x10 for miss molly

FINALLY

So, the last two days I was in Richmond and across the street from the store was a Michaels. My Mike's never has this magazine but I thought hey I have a 50% off coupon and maybe just maybe they will have the new Somerset workshop mag and guess what? THEY DID so I bought it and duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what a dissapointment. There really is only one thing I will try. Oh well.....
