After the Kids move out !

Seth is graduating from this May from 5 years of college in mechanical engineering at Binghamton University and will be moving to Washington D.C. to work for the US Patent Office. I redecorated his room last year and he loves it. It's a mix of retro finds, family heirlooms and as my brother calls it..."The Predator's Room" because all the images in the room are of predators. P.S. Notice the orb in the room?

for abby, my world traveler friend

A few of my ATC's (artist trading cards)

I like making them but find myself too busy to make many of them. When I was in art school back in the late 70's much of my work was collage. Creating these images are like getting on a train.....you don't know who's driving and where you might go??

I found this cute photograph on Esty. When my daughter Sophia was 3 her father nicknamed her "Mousey". Sophia was highly allergic to rodents (we found that out while visiting a pet store!) She wanted a mouse so badly that I bought her cat toys made of real bunny fur. Sophia played with them until the fur rubbed off. One Christmas Eve, she lost one in church which we referred to as "the Church Mouse". He lived happily ever after there. We still have her mice and when I locate a picture of her dressed as a mouse I will post it. I sent her this picture last week to cheer her. Sophie called from college with a terrible cold and needed some TLC from mom ma.

Murry's Dream Girl....Daisy!

I flipped when I saw this layout on Pink Paislee's blog under their new paper line called (Enchanting). And enchanting she is..I printed it out and paleced it near Murry's pillow. I think I love my doggies just a little too much.
I have to tell you about my children in the next blog and show you some of my artwork.
