And the winner is.....

Hey My Favorite Folks;

   Hope you are all well and out enjoying the lovely weather.  We have had some good days and some W-E-T days.  Our last storm looked like this.  This was just a couple of days ago.  It downpoured and I guess we got hail in a few places.  Here is just a few blocks from where I live.  Tons of it.

   I have some amazing news to share so you will have to watch this video to find out K?  It is only 8 minutes and then you will know.  Here it is...

    OMG...can you believe it???  How amazing is that.  I have been following Tam for years.  I am a member of her wonderful "ning" group and of course her number one fan.  I Love her art and she is a wonderful person. Did I mention that I love her??? LOL.  She still has her "Art, Heart and Healing Class" available and many other wonderful classes...just click on the button on my sidebar to see.  The print that I picked is this one .  She said that she mailed it out a couple of days ago, but I am a little worried about our stupid mail strike.  Of course that has to happen just when I win something.  Ironic isn't it?  Since it is coming from the UK maybe by the time it hits Canada our strike will be a thing of the past.  Crossing my fingers and toes...ow.

   Here are some pic's of some art that I have been doing.  You may remember that I belong to a Mail-Art Club.  Here are a few that I sent.

   I kind of like this one.  It reminds me of my Grandmother (who by the way is 93 years young).  She used to make all her own cards and sew them together and around the edges.  She was and is ahead of her time.  She was doing mixed-media before there ever was a name for it.  So this one got sent out to a co-worker of mine.

  This one was sent to my Mom for Mothers Day.  

     Boy oh boy, you never really appreciate a Mother, until...you are one.  I have 2 teens- and next to the terrible two's, this is the hardest stages that I have ever went through.  They are killing killing me off.  My youthful nature is disappearing and I am turning into an old-hag right before my very own eyes.  So on that lovely note....I love you Mom and again I am so sorry for breaking your heart so many times.  Thank-you for still loving me when I know how horrible I was.

   My sister sent me a beautiful song that I would love to share with you guys.  Its so funny because it is exactly how I have been feeling lately.  Thanx Christine.  Here it is.

   I am now working on a journal spread that I guess was motivated by a recent fight with my 15 year old.

    I will show you next time when it is all put together.  


   I am sorry that my blogging is, hit and miss.  But I guess that's life, with me anyways.  I will always try and blog more but it is hard in the summer isn't it?  I am outside more and doing less inside.  I love you guys and until next time, have a creative day!
