Collage Board

Well Sarah(my daughter) is all settled in now in Residence in Nursing school! All of us are excited and a fun time for her.

We took a lot of her stuff, but she left this corkboard she had covered in collage. Not enough room and concrete walls. :(

This is made up of all things she cut out and made up.

The bottom corner is the one I like....

Some sayings:

First, you dream it. Then you do it.

Be an original

FUN FEARLESS FEMALE

Attitude

"I've got to be me"

I'm hungry for change

be SMART

I want life to mean something

There is no height restriction in breaking records - No minimum age for making millions

That whole "everyones doing it" thing

when it comes to being a teenager

and getting high?

Just another stupid stereotype.

Good advice I think.

No impact man

NO Electricity, taxis, elevators, take-out food, tv and much more.

A film on a families decision to give up making an impact for a year

HIghly recommend it!

RR Journal page

I got a nice surprise in the mail yesterday.. a round robin journal page swap I am in with the girls from Artfest.

Jessica sent me this page for my journal which has the theme of dreams. It is 5x7. I love how she did the whole thing with flying and birds.

This is one side,

and the other....

I love it Jessica! She has also got featured for her journals on Mary Ann Moss's blog here.

Check her out!

Sunday Assignment

Please leave a comment saying what you "see"/ feel/ what this page means to you.

Try not to read the previous comments so you don't get influenced...

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks so much for all your comments! That was so neat to read all the different views. Just for you curious ones out there - what I intended with the page was showing all the boxes and labeling them - was of all the things that we "think" keep us from our dreams. We think we are too old, we think we don't have enough money, we can't because of the family or kids, because there's no TIME, or we are afraid etc. I'd like people to "get out of the boxes" and just go for your dreams. NO excuses.

Crosscut Saw

I finished a commission for a crosscut saw awhile ago and I am posting some pics now....

It was for my boyfriends aunt and she wanted a pic of the farm where she grew up including what it looked like then and now. She had some pics and an aerial shot of the farm too. She also wanted a painting of the truck her father used in his business.

The finished saw in their house!

I hope she liked it - Sean thought it was great and remembered his grandparents farm being like that.

A couple days at the cottage...

Had some lazy days at the cottage recently. My friend invited Sarah and I for a couple days.

It was wonderful!

Can't wait to go back.

Vintage magazines for sale!

I have listed this week some old magazines from the 50's and 60's on ebay.

Lots of variety from camping, to cars to photography!

And while you sit and read a magazine, how about a drink with some old swizzle sticks?

Some of these are great! I love the twig one and the one like a cane. They are all from bars and lounges.

All available this coming week here

Pressies in the mail

As part of my sketchbook group - we did the 30 projects in 30 days - see below for my posts - and we each gave a little present for finishing. It was random and a surprise so we didn't know who we were getting it from.

This is what I got from Bea in CA.

4 ATC's made by her. I love the figure one with rhinestone brads for folding the arms and legs in.

Close up of stitching on one of the atc's.

And then an envelope stuffed with old ephemera and postcards and photos. Just up my alley!
Very cool to use in art journaling I think.

And then at the bottom of the envelope some neat brass hearts.

Thanks Bea!

Just because....

My sweetie got me some flowers the other day.... aren't the colors pretty?

Yes, I am spoiled. :)
