My Girls



Recently I took Christy Tomlinson's She Girl online class. It was exactly what I have been wanting for so long, and it really set my inner artist free! Thanks, Christy!!


When I showed some of my girls to friends, they were very complimentary. Several of my artsy friends and I decided to make some and show them at a local market festival. So we had our annual sleepover and started making the girls. What fun was that!! Even if we didn't sell any, we had a great time staying up into the wee hours of the night, catching up and laughing with our girls.

Yesterday was the big day. We knew before we even set up that this was not a good time of year to sell this type of craft. And the current heatwave would probably keep many people at home. But this was our first show, so we went into it as a learning experience. We came away with three sales, a marketing plan for our next show (in October), and memories of a fun day together...including fried balony sandwiches and fried peach pies. The diets start tomorrow!!

Easter Cards

Here is one of the Easter cards I made this week. It includes flowers from my stash or that I made with Tim Holtz paper rosette die and vintage trim I found at RollerMills antique mall in Lewisburg, PA. The card includes a black/white photo I found at Goodlettsville Antique Mall in Goodlettsville, TN. The caption inside the card reads What fashion statement will you make this Easter?

I also made one to send my mother with a picture of me taken on Easter 1953 (same card, different pic).






Happy Easter, Passover, and Spring to everyone!

OWH Monochromatic Challange

Here is a card I made for the Operation Write Home Momochromatic Challange. It was fun to pull out supplies in all the same color...and since I was already making Easter cards, the pinks seemed to jump out at me from my work space.
