one more bit of nightstand artsy goodness! this one features Webster's Pages, sunday picnic line-i just love the girlie, sweet feel of this line! i saw this quote and thought it was the perfect fit! all held together with Xyron adhesive, of course!

Another artpiece for my nightstand, this one features Bella Blvd's bright and cheerful Spring things and Easter Things line! Bella Blvd continues to knock it out of the ballpark! Couldn't create without my trusty Xyron adhesive!

a little food for thought!

I love to create these little artpieces and display them on my nightstand. I look at them before I go to sleep at night and when I open my peepers in the morning. It is a great way, to "set" my day! On this one I used Jenni Bowlin's darling "Magpie" line-I just love her vintagey, homey style!

MAD PROPS TO XYRON AND JILLIBEAN SOUP!

fun and funtional products that made my vision for this artpiece all fall into place!

slowly getting back to "normal"

We are home, after spending the weekend paying tribute to my darling father in law, at his memorial. It was a beautiful sunny california day, so so so many loving friends and family came to celebrate his life. It was magnificent. We will hold him close in our hearts always. our sadness is still palitable, but we must move on. When life hands me struggles and challenges, I, lose myself in art, so that is how choose to work through all of these feelings. So I will turn up Ben's music of choice, Andrea Bocelli, dig out paper, paint, and glue and create!
