Shopping and Playing Around



Dragging out things to experiment with is always so much fun.

This is a snippet of Ten Seconds Studio Dijon metal that was stamped, embossed, sprayed with Perfect Pearls and ReInker, Alcohol Inked with the Fillable Pen, and sanded here and there.

The Black Sharpie pen makes all the colors pop.

It Is A Fabulous Day Here in the Midwest!

This is a picture of a Moth that we saw in the Shawnee National Forest. He was sunning himself on a rock.




The sun has been shining for 2 days now!!!! Amazing. Just a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

We worked in the garden and got all the leaves done, and everything cut back, bagged and off to the dump. Done for the fall season....hopefully.

Even had time for a lunch on the porch swing. Even got the windows washed on the Sunroom.

Mexican Food and Margaritas tonight as a reward!!!


Life is good!!!

What A Great Halloween Class!!!!

First of all, I took this little ghoul to a party the other night. I love her Vampira collar. Where were these cool costumes when we were kids??? Geez!!!








These pictures are all over the place....just enjoy!




Lots of Inky Fingers here!




What a talented group of gals!

Then secondly.......We had MORE fun!!!! And did we Create some great ART!!!

We had a full class....and then some.....ha! So we were hoppin'. Thanks to a great and wonderful staff at Prairie Art Stamps. Terri is blessed with a terrific crew.

Everyone stamped and cut and INKED big time! I think they had a good time and learned a bit in the process. The Grunge Wallets came out AMAZING!

Not everyone wanted their pictures taken, but we got a look at the work. And one picture, I cut off the work.....but got the gal! I'm an amateur Photographer. I'm sorry I missed a couple of gals before they left.

At the end of a class, I'm lucky if I remember to take pictures at all!

So I hope everyone had a good time....and I'll see you again in a couple of weeks for the Christmas Wall Hanging class.....call and reserve your spot!

It's only really 8:45 and I feel like it should be time for bed! (already set the clocks back)
