Travel Jewelry Bag

Those spring and summer vacations are right around the corner. 

What better way to pack those precious jewels than in a Travel Jewelry bag!

My second project for 

A Gilded Life

using the February kit

     Inside  the silky fabric pockets I've shown one of Gilded Life

 new bezels I used to make the necklace.

Happy Travels!

A Little Pillow Talk

Happy Valentines Day to all my friends in blog land. 

How about a little pillow talk for the most romantic day of the the year.?

Have a Wonderful Valentines Day!

Love is in the Air

 Can you feel it?

 Hearts and flowers are everywhere right now.

whether its sweet children sending Valentines to their classmates

 or loved ones sharing their un-dyeing Love. 

Or friends wanting to be your Valentine. Awe yes sweet Love!

I do believe someone way back planned it just this way to beat the winter blues.

I did play just a bit with a tart tin Valentine swap with the

MAMA group. 

The above Forever and Always I made for my swap partner Bobbi Ann

and Bobbi Ann sent me this Gorgeous tin .

I love how she used the ribbon and roses with the crinkle ribbon.

Sending  all my followers 

big Hugs  this Valentines day!

My First Santos and Published

I had so much FUN creating my first Santos doll. 

This darling frame is the brainchild of 

Retro Cafe Art

I added to the base with a crown created from the new die cut plate

and embossed metal strips for the skirt and wings from 

A Gilded Life

Here she is in her new home in my studio.

I was so EXCITED to see my Articulated doll.

 Also from Retro Cafe Art made the cover 

of Altered Arts magazine.

I am a bit late in posting this one. 

But was also published in the Somerset Studios Gallery 

With my Witches Wardrobe using stamps from

Oxford Impressions

Life has been busy... now I have more catching up to do.

I'll be stopping by soon.
