Well, here is the finished product...nine glue cards that went ala Round Robin style through the group. I am very happy with them and am currently looking for a way to put them in a book without gluing or punching holes...this will take some imagination, but I'm sure I'll find a way. Actually, they would be nice in a frame - I'll just have to think about that one.

...and tomorrow I will add my Glue Cards. They are finished and returned to me in grand condition; just need to photograph and post.

Time to add my Icicle Dolls from the 2008 swap...finally got them done yeehaw! "Spring", "New Year" & "Halloween" dolls. Actually, "Halloween" was done on time, the other 2 missed the deadline for their respective holidays...better late than not :o)))

A quick addition...finally found pics of my RR Crow, 'Mr. Eye-Ching Crow'. What an adorable flight of fancy this guy is! The ladies of Altered Art of Visions & Dreams did a tremendous job bringing this bird to life! Thank you all so much; he is a great treasure!

Okay, somehow some of my pics have been deleted, though I've retrieved a few. Let's see if adding this one changes anything. This is my Nestle with "Cowboy Ducky". They had quite a long chat that day...

Okay, I know I should show art or something, but for the moment...and just to keep my momentum going...I'm adding a pic of my husband David, me and Richard Shindell, folk artist extrordinaire (Richard is in the middle...)!! We saw him at The Palms Playhouse in Winters last Sept. '08, and he graciously let us have a photo op with him. I have learned some of his music, so with this picture being posted I now need to practice, practice, practice. Thanks, Richard, for a fantastic show!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! Well, it has been too long a time since I've visited here and I do apologize. The last many months have been quite hectic with health & family issues, but I am SO looking forward to this new year. I plan to start working harder than ever on my art through the wonderful group I'm in, Altered Art of Visions and Dreams, my own personal art concepts & projects, photography and most of all my music. I let myself down in 2008 by not keeping true to myself, my spirit and whatever talent I have been blessed with and I do not want to go through another year that way. I have met many wonderful artists and musicians, some who have become good friends. I always look forward to their latest creations, "thinking out of the box" ideas and just their commeradery that I hold so dear. So, with all that said, I'll start looking to see if I have new pictures to post and get back on the blog! Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season and I wish you all the very best in 2009!
