Mother's Day was nice. Being a mom is one of the most amazing thing in the universe. You get to bring new life into existence. Nothing can be more magical than that...except maybe finding a unicorn. I love all the gifts I got even though it's not really the gifts that matter but the meaning... Continue Reading →
In the Yard
It's been raining for a few days now, although, it seems the sun has come up today. The forecast for the week should be more rain and maybe even sleet on Mother's Day. I actually love the rain and gray clouds. It might feel gloomy and depressing but it makes the earth so rich and... Continue Reading →
Another Competition Year Ends
My daughter really enjoyed this year's dance competition. She said it went by too quickly. What she missed most was the friendship with her dance group...and the choreographers. The photos below were taken by a professional. I'm beyond proud of the hard work she put into the dances. 🙂

Took one apart to paint in smaller blocks (see previous post for example). Ephemera by Pink Paislee. Stencils by... Continue Reading →
Tints and Shades

This assignment asked for stamped butterflies or similar but I don't have a lot of stamps so I decided to create the butterflies in Photoshop and overlay with digital scrapbooking papers (which I have...
