FAMILY PLAYING TOGETHER

Today being Mother's Day my mind races with all the memories Motherhood provides. Our two girls are now grown and have their own children. So the fun just expands to more hands on play. The girls have also embraced the love of crafting in all different areas. Their pleasure also runs to gardening, animal husbandry, wood work and building, furniture refinishing,photography, cooking and every sport availabe. We all love to read. We all love many of the same activities. THEY ARE BOTH EXTREMELY CREATIVE. Their gift for language makes some of this stuff even more fun and expandable. I will be posting things I have created specifically for any one of them. I will also post and share photos of things made by them for me or our home. When I can calm my mind down and just feel what my body is taking in, it is with such appreciation that I say WOW how blessed I have been. How blessed I am. What joy it has brought to my life to share something that I so enjoy. Both of my sisters are very creative as well. If we just had time on our hands to sit together and play together, we would have sooooooooooo much fun. We done this but not enough. Thank you girls. Lets play more

WHATS ON THE WEB IS AMAZING

Recently my dear friend Sheryl and I were chatting about the great You Tube learning clips available. One can learn anything for free. She then proceeded to change my life when she shared two new blog spots for card making. OH MY GOODNESS. She doesn't even know it yet how absorbed I am with these two sites. She and I love to create cards using all of our learned techniques. Since the day we met over 38 years ago we have had crafts and designing in common. This web site is for the sole purpose of posting the photo library I have memorializing the crafting and designing done by my little hands. I have always photographed my finished projects, page by page if necessary. These photos sit in a computer library and I can look back with pleasure on the many things created by my little hands. Classes and learning video's have been a must for me. I myself have taught tee shirt design and applique. I published a craft book of these designs and how to. It is definitely rewarding to view the creations and re-live the satisfaction I reaped from designing something. Posting a project that one finishes while in an on-line class as been a challenge for me. So, to cure it, I am establishing this blog where my finished work will be display. Recently, joining on line Watercolor Card Painting class even made it more important as I do want to participate in their gallery postings. It is difficult for me to do that from my own "computer" files. Now that I can upload to my own blog spot, sharing will be simplified. So here we go............ Oh, now I have to spend the time it will take to upload my photos that have been so coveted from years of "PLAYING". It will be fun and rewarding. I have also decided to scan all of the beautiful cards my friend Sheryl and others have made for me. I have saved them all.
