Calling all Altered Art Friends!

Here is an invitation for all you altered art friends to join me in a cool online art journal quest this year.
It is hosted/created by Tangie Baxter over at www.scrapbookgraphics.com .  I think it will be a great experience.

This is my cover for the 2011 expedition.  I can't wait to pack a suitcase and begin the adventure.

Aspire-Word of the day!

I have just made my first journal page for the 2010 Art Journal Caravan hosted and created by Tangie Baxter of ScrapbookGraphics.com It is so very sad that I put off doing any pages until now! But it is almost a new year and I am aspiring to be more attentive to my creative side. Not to mention, more disciplined about making and posting the art.

Think Warm Thoughts! Think Warm Thoughts! Think...

I would have never thought school would have been out for wind chill, but here we are for day two of below zero wind chills. At least it is giving me reason to write in my blog! Later I will work on my Christmas scrapbook! I have the photos all in and arranged, but now I need to add some lettering and elements. Oh, I almost forgot-ribbons & buttons!

Welcome 2010!

Finally Summer!

Is seems unbelievable how much stuff can pile up during a school year!  I am always thinking that I'll do this or that when it's summer and I have more time.  Well, this week the time came due!  It feels good, though, to be able to check stuff off the list.  Closet - check, sort books - check, organize teacher stuff - check, and on and on it goes.  I did take a moment out yesterday to smell the roses - literally.  I have this lilac colored rose that has a lemony floral scent that is wonderful.  Here is a photo of it.  I wish I could capture the fragrance to share with you!

It's Here!  A sign that spring will soon be upon us.  I snapped these last week on a warmer day.
