I have been for 3 test and now have to wait
for a consultation with the specialist in the
23 of this month. I still have good days and bad.
I have been doing a little bit of art and went and
and had a great day with my friends Tonniece and
Sheila. I can function when I take my pain pills
but since they are narcotics I only take them when
I have to go out and do something. I don't like to take them
other wises...
Thanks for dropping in..

FUN CRAFT DAY AT TONNIECE'S

2009-07-08T13:44:00.000-04:00

Last Saturday Sheila and I went to Tonniece's house
for a afternoon of some paper art.
We had some much fun and barrel full 'of laughs.
Some yummy salads too....
This is the box I made, lots of scoring cutting and
folding but worth it. They turned out beautiful.
Pics could have been better, the colors on the inside
box's are washed out. I was glad we got any though.

2009-07-08T13:36:00.001-04:00

These are 2 of Tonniece's boxes, the polka dots
was for her granddaughter. Not great pics of
them hopefully Tonniece puts better ones on her
blog

PAPER BABY SHOES

2009-07-08T13:28:00.000-04:00

I printed out these baby shoes from Quietfire site
on white card stock. Inked them with my distressed
ink, punched out some tiny dragonflies. I stamped and
embossed them, added a brad and a flower.
They turned out so DARN cute...

These are Sheila's shoes she drew and colored hers
with pencil cayrons and shimmer stuff. Cute little
tiny round brads and a flower. I can't wait to see
Tonnices, she is going to make her with her
granddaughter......

INK AND SHIMMER

2009-07-08T13:09:00.000-04:00

I bought 25 of Tim Holtz distressed inks, I love them.
I first put some ink on the freezer paper and spritz some
water over it. Then swirled the card stock in it.
No pics of this but I wasn't happy with the results at all.
Then I put some butterscotch rangers ink and water in
a small water bottle, added some pearl X.
I sprintz all the papers with it and" valla" they turned
out gorgeous, hard to see them shimmer but its there.
I stamped the bottom two, the one on the right hand
side has only the sprayed shimmer.

I"M SO THANKFUL...

2009-06-05T18:58:00.000-04:00

I'm so thankful, I finally got an
appointment to see a specialist.
I've been getting awfully depressed
being sick since the beginning of this
year. Maybe now they can fix me
up and I can start living again :):).

BIRTHDAY CARD 2

2009-06-05T18:48:00.000-04:00

Made this one for my besttest buddy Tonniece.
I use more of my inked paper and her lovely punches.

I used in the boarder some of the paper towels
I used under the sprayed
ink paper.

Some sticky canvas labels for some sentiment.

BIRTHDAY CARD 1

2009-06-05T18:38:00.000-04:00

Made this for my DS Martha my oldest and sweetest Sis..
I used some inked paper I made for
background. I visited Tonniece http://tonyzworldofart.blogspot.com/
She has a lovely array of punches so I used a bunch
of her scrap paper to use them..
It's not exactly straight but that's me a little off LOL..
I also made her a round wooden box I decorated to
use as a sewing box, she does quilting.
Sadly I didn't get a pick of it maybe another day ...

UPDATE AND CHARM SWAP

2009-03-26T20:08:00.001-04:00

Well got my cat scan now waiting for specialist
app.
Cloth Paper Scissors is having a charm swap,
so since I have a lot of these pieces I thought I'd
make a few and swap some. Then I will have enough
for a bracelet. They are almost the same as the ones
I made before but with no beads, I like them better just
plain. I took me a long time to do them but finally finished
and even got them posted.......

UPDATE 2

2009-02-09T16:59:00.003-05:00

I want to thank ever one for there well wishes.
I'm still not any better, They took me off the antibiotics
an I'm now waiting to get a cat scan at the hospital. No idea
how long that will take. I'm still on liquids no solid food,
good way to lose weight LOL..
Stay in bed most of the time hurts to sit to long..
I miss every one so much, thanks again ,I try to
keep you all up to whats going on....

UPDATE

2009-01-23T20:10:00.002-05:00

I thought I would let everyone know I have been sick
since second week of Dec.. First with a deadly chest cold
then had the flue. I thought I had ripped my hernia with
all the coughing. I went to the ER, they said I have an infection
gave me antibiotics. I can only have liquids or I'm in a lot
of pain. The antibiotics will be finish tomorrow, but I still
am having the same problem. So I will have to see the doctor
on Mon. I'm pretty sure they will have to do some kind of
exploratory operation to see what is going on inside of me.
It really hurts to sit which is why I can't stay on the computer
too long. I miss seeing all my friends blogs and to see what everyone
is creating... Hopefully will know better next week what is going
on. I'll post and let you all know.. Thanks to all who were thinking
of me...

Isn't she a beauty, well I'm not sure if it is a
boy or girl, but named it Shatan.. I fell in love
with these horse when I saw them on Daniella
blog http://daniellebarlowart.blogspot.com/.
She has a few and draws them too. So I google
imaged Dartmoor's ponies and found this beauty
and have her on my desk top. I named her after

TWO SMALL JOURNALS

2008-11-09T22:00:00.000-05:00

I had these done last week just got around to posting
them. I used some of the homemade paper from
Java, I had purchased at a second hand shop.
I used 5 signatures in all the journals which
would give them 50 pages each. The sewing
kills my carpo tunnel but its worth it...

SECOND SMALL JOURNAL

DANIELLE BARLOW

2008-11-09T21:44:00.000-05:00

I'm a daily follower of Anita Davies blog http://artbyanita.blogspot.com/
she is a amazing artist in England.
From her blog I found, as you do, Danielle
bloghttp://daniellebarlowart.blogspot.com/.
Its called "Notes from the Rookery"
Right from the name of her blog I was hooked.
She lives in Dartmoor England on a farm with
her family. She raises these wonderful
Dartmoor ponies, with their long manes they
mystical, they are gorgeous. She also is a
fabulous painter. Painting her pony's,unicorns
faeries, and crows. She also helps her sister
with sewing beautiful clothes for kids..
Its a magical place where her and her family live.
After I read her whole blog, I was blown away.
I loved her work so much I got on ebay and ordered
4 of her Aceo's right away. She was so nice and
actually sent me an extra larger print
(the pic above) and no postage if you order more
then 1 print. The aceo's only cost $7:50.
Imagine that for the beautiful works of art.
I'm a lucky girl to be the proud owner of
some of her work..
Please do check out her blog and see for yourself,
you'll think you were taken back in time to a
magical place..
Thanks Danielle...

some for me and others for gifts..
Aren't they stunning...
