Card I made for my sis for her bday. :)

I have been having a busy week. Tuesday I ran around town paying bills, hanging at coffee house sketching and shopping at a cute little stationary shop.

Yesterday I cleaned up the house and made this card for my sis. Her bday is the 6th.
After my hubby came home the whole family went to village inn to eat and hang then we went to the mall to do some shopping. Had a great time. :)

Well I am outta here to go get some coffee and breakfast and back here to get a ton of swaps done which range from artist trading cards, paperpieced , dicuting and cardmaking lol.

Tommorow our friend kevin is coming over to scan some stuff. And we could have some dinner. :)

Have a creative day I am outta here!!!

First day of School
It is the first day of school for my kids today. Oldest started highschool and my youngest is in 1st grade all day yipppee.

Well I am waiting for my water to boil for my morning coffee. Then I am off to straighten up my hubby changed careers as of today so he had butterflies like the kids. Not sure how long he will be gone today. He brought all his tools home from his airframe mechanic work so there is a huge pile of tools in the house now. lol

Kids get out of school early the first week so my oldest will be home in a little over 4 hours so I am outta here to make my coffee watter is boiling. Then to find and get to my drafting table to work on swaps etc.

Enjoying this week cause possibly next week I am moving my work room again.

But when I move this time I need to be super organized. plus I am tired of creating in a mess lol.

Well I am outta here have a great day:)

"Where Are You?"
Collage/ gel matte medium transfered skeleton/canvas board
4 x 6 inches

I decided to try collage on canvas board. I did "Born to hunt" last night and today I worked on "Where Are You" today.

For the skeleton I tried a technique I have never tried before. Gel Medium transfer. That technique is fun and addictive.

Going to go work on some atcs for a swap. Hee Hee

Oh I did get my Fridge today yippee brand new and clean lol

Need to go to store to fill it. LOL

Have a great day!!!!!!

"Born To Hunt"
Collage/Canvas Board
4 x 8 inchs

UGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My fridge died sometime last night and all my stuff got ruined.
Called the landlords awhile ago and waiting for them to call back. She said that someone would come over and look at it but I think it would be cheaper for them to just buy us a new one cross my fingers. lol.

My studio is in my dinning room by the patio door which would be the easiest way to get a fridge in or out so stuff is temp in my kids room. LOL Just some of it so there is room to get in and out the back lol.

Well just waiting for the landlord to call back to see if someone is coming to fix or we are getting a new one. grrrrr. I hate waiting. Well at least my house got clean out of the deal lol.

I am hoping they get this stuff done with the fridge in a hurry. Need to buy milk for my kids :(

well going to surf around the net don't want to get into creating if people are going to be coming and going. ;)

Busy Thursday Night lol

coffee drink at the coffee house down the street.

He took our son to shoot paintballs with a bunch of friends
and my oldest was at a friends house so its just me and kira (my 6yr
