Heading off to Farm Chicks

Photo courtesy of  the farmchicks

I'm headed off to The Farm chicks show in Washington with a couple of my BFF's.

For those that don't know its a HUGE antique show and draws

people from around the world and this year I'm going. WOOOHOOOO

I'll be on the lookout for lots of goodies for me and You.

I'll be bringing my camera for some photo shoots and posting a giveaway when I return. 

So hope you check back and see what I found.

Finally some PLAY TIME

Yes I finally found some play time and

 it sure felt good to be able to create again.

I made some Shabby Chis ATC's

for the Yahoo group I'm in.

Stitched together lots of pretty papers.

Of course whats shabby chic without lace?

and pearls and flowers.

Then I created this Sacred Bracelet for my Etsy shop.

Full of vintage crosses, medals, rhinestones and crystals.

Hope you all found some creative time this weekend.

On Friday I'm off to the Farm chix show in Washington with my

girlfriends. Can't wait to see what treasure we'll find!

Published- Catch up

Hey bloggers. Long time no post. No I didn't fall off the face of the earth

 although I felt like it. I have been very sick.

Thought I might end up back in the hospital but

luckily everything turned out o.k and I'm finally back to my old self.

Not much new in creating lately but I did receive a

complimentary copy of the

Catch up issue and they published a couple of my pieces.

Two of my very faves from the Paris Exposition plates at

 Artistic Outpost

A fun little hanging using those same images.

I'll be over to visit with you soon. Missed seeing what you all are up to.

Oh and the little disaster at our home is just about fixed. Yeah!!!!

Thanks to my DH working his little bum off.

Don't know how I'd manage without him.



Faux Friday-Wakeboarding

Its been a long time since I posted a Faux Friday.
Its not that I haven't been working!

 I have. Its just most of the time I forget to bring my camera to a job.

Here's one I did recently that was a lot of fun.

It was for a boys room.

They wanted a mural of the boys wake boarding.

After I finished the first boy.... You guessed it they wanted the boat too!

Its hard to tell in the photo but its a very long wall and a very long boat!

On another wall I added the younger boy and his dad.

Needless to say the kids LOVE it!

Yes sometimes my job Rocks!!!

A Sneak Peek

I was thrilled when Helene from 2 AM Scrapper 

asked me to be a part of her first post at

Unruly Paper Arts

Its all about Weddings and Lace.

Heres a little sneak peek of my project.

You'll have to pop over to see the rest.

Thanks for including me Helene!

We've had a bit of a disaster at our home recently so I'm running WAY behind.

Forgive me for not stopping by but I will come visit as soon as I can.

I know I do!

I first saw some necklaces something like this in the last issue of

Belle Armoire Jewelry.

They were done by the artist Diana Frey

I again saw them on Pinterest and knew I just had to give it a try.

I decided to create one for my dear friend Mindi for her Birthday.

 I gave it to her already so now I can share it with you.

She loved it by the way!
