Happy Mothers day!

I hope all of you enjoyed your Mothers day weekend the way I did.

Friday at work a nice co worker made all of us gals individual candy gifts, that she made by hand with recycled toilet tissue rolls. Each one was decorated with different papers..

Then when I checked my mail after work, a really nice lady I met on Ning, who just so happens to live in my town had graciously had sent me a cool care package with doo dads that I can use in my art. !!!!!!www.clayfactory.net go check out Marie's creations. She is so talented.... You will enjoy it.

Saturday evening I spent Hanging out with a friend I had not seen in over 25 years. The night consisted of going to one of my art shows at www.escondidoarts.org.

Then we made it over to distinctionart.com gallery where I was able to meet and chat with an amazing artist named Camille M. Boggs. She and her husband moved to Alabama after loosing everything to hurricane Katrina. She told me that after that experience is when she came into her own creating these extremely intricate paper cuttings of marionette figures with wings. I tried bringing up her web page but it would not load on my pc, I incourage you to find her on google!!

So after that my old friend and I went down the road a stretch to visit a friends reception at a new gallery I had not yet visited, I must admit I did have alterier motive.. But the walls were filled with Todd's art..http://www.brightcolorsboldlines.com/.

From there the friend and I headed to an eatery and talked for hours...

Sunday was a day of worship followed by a lovely date with my husband, sister and brother in law to a play of Arsenic and old Lace. I am really blessed, I wish you all blessings too!!

Be sure to post a comment and a follow to enter in the giveaway this is the last week. I will give away three pins.. Cheers to all and Creative love...

Giveaway!!!!

Hello everyone, thank you so much for the read or follow I so appreciate you!!!
I would like to host a giveaway and the prize is a hand made up cycled barrette. There is a link at the right (just click on barrette photo) as well that will take you to my artfire shop if you want to see more photo's of these little doo dads.
So I used to work part time at a craft store of which I will not name names, and every night they would sweep up, well I used to go around and pick up fallen items from the floor. I just didn't see the sense in putting them into a landfill so I collected flowers and beads and such. I took them home and took everything apart then re-designed my style. I would like to give a few of these away. The number of winners will just determine the number of comments or follows we have here. I hope to have this giveaway for at least two weeks running. So I will as a question and you all this question;
" what are you doing to reduce your carbon footprint, while still creating art?"
Thanks so much and good luck!!!
Please respond to the question in your comment.. And for an additional chance to win please follow me then come back and comment to let me know you did so.. Giveaway winners will be posted Monday May 4th. Thank you!
Be sure to tell those around you how much you love them...

First Assemblage

Hello everyone!!!!! It has been soooo hot in California and I tell ya I am not ready for the summer to hit. And its gonna hit hard I can tell. We don't have air conditioning either but hey that's kinda green, right? In the below post I make mention of a bunch of things I had my husband rescue from his work. It was actually on its way to the trash! Well here is my first attempt at assemblage and I had so much fun!!! Happy creating everyone and don't forget to tell those close to you how much you love them, and give them a hug if you are close enough to do so. Blessings
