My Interview with The Dabbling Mum

I just received an email that Alyice Edrich of the Dabbling Mum has published her interview that she took with me earlier on her site. If you have time, check it out. She has some wonderful interviews with people in all kinds of mediums and will have several more to come.

My interview is at: http://thedabblingmum.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-05-26T10%3A37%3A00-05%3A00&max-results=3. And her personal blog made my day with her comment.... Create Art for the Right Reasons!

Here is the Garden Angel that Erin and Poppie made with Grungeboard on it. The angel has a golden Grungeboard butterfly and beaded body. Don't you love the sweet face Erin made for the lovely lady...and her white scalloped collar? The wire hair was a collaboration! And the butterfly is holding up great in the outdoors!

And I finally got the battery charged enough to get the birdhouse picture taken. I used really great foamies by Making Memories ! Really crisp for a foam stamp...and the wrens are enjoying the unit!

Be well.....keep Wendy's Rick in your thoughts and prayers as he is still recovering from his eye surgery...hang in there Rick!!!!!!

One of my Favorite Images

This is another one of my favorite images that I used in my little book that's at CHA without me....lonely I suppose. My friend, and the other part of the newly dubbed "Dynamic Duo" is there to watch over her. I KNOW Wendy is going to have the time of her life!!!!! So well deserved!!!! She works sooooooo hard!

Anyway this was done by using a paint dabber background of white and stamping over with Memories ink. I have never had a problem using this ink on acrylic paint....so that's what I use. There are more of the miniMarks in the background. I love these. The Bloomington Shop, Scrapbook Friend'z, was the 1st place I saw these, but they have no web address on them, so I can't give you a link. Sorry. But they have great designs. Stampers Anonymous, my fav, created the stamp. Isn't she wonderful????? Wordy Woman is what I believe she's called.

That's it for today....too many projects are calling my name and driving me crazy. The sun was shining so nicely this morning it was hard to drag myself out of the sunroom and into the studio to work, so I'll have to burn the midnight oil to get anything accomplished! Me and the owls!

Be good to each other,

Mini-Houses Swap

These are a few of the houses done for a swap with some wonderful girls across the pond. Most have elements in them from Julie vanOostens great Collections products. All have been Distress inked and dotted with pens. They were wonderfully fun. Can't wait for the swap to make it here.

****Update****

You have GOT to check out Gaby's houses for this swap. They are absolutely STUNNING!!!!

The LAST House

WHEW!!! The last house is done! What a fun project this was. The picture is of me on my grandfather's tractor in the middle of Nebraska. My middle name is Marie and dad would call me that on occasion. So here I am, in all my glory, cowgirl hat and shirt. The carefree days we enjoyed in the 50's. All 10 are done and now all I have to do is glue them onto the backboard of the frame. It is totally AMAZING what Distress Inks can do to any paper! Now I can get out there and cut down the garden...looking forward to that....not.
