As an art teacher for almost 30 years and nearing retirement from that career I decided to embark on a new adventure that combines many of my interests. I am blessed to be able to carry over my people and organizational skills as an educator along with my love of design and architecture. Finding my clients their home sweet home is a very gratifying feeling.
It's Here! A sign that spring will soon be upon us. I snapped these last week on a warmer day.

Here is my latest collage sheet. It's called Latin Love. I have collected a whole group of wonderful Latin ephemera items. So more goodies to come. I have always loved different cultures and now I have an actual connection to Hispanic culture through my sweet husband. Now I just need to keep practicing my Spanish!
Here is a scrapbook page with one of my favorite photos of my kids in a field of Bluebonnets.
Everyone loves I Spy books. It's like a treasure hunt in a book. It could possibly be the kid equivelent to my favorite - the flea market! My second grade students are making their own I Spy Book with their favorite things and then creating rhymes to go with them. They are having a ball learning. Here is my I Spy photo for the book. I love old junk!

Yeah! I love it when I get goodies in the mail! Here is today's treasure - fabric from one of my favorite online stores-Fat Quarter Quilt Shop. Most of it is by designer Anna Marie Horner for Free Spirit.
Using one of my Paris collage sheets, images from one of my Easter collage sheets, crepe paper, paperboard box, paint, and assorted found objects I made this 3D box complete with a suprise inside!
