Get "Scrappy Happy"!!!

Hello Dear Friends....

I hope your weekend 
has been going well
for you so far!!

I wanted to share my latest
little creation with you today.

I have been a follower of Diana
Trout for awhile now.
Diana has a book out called
"Journal Spilling" that for those
of you who love to journal
or always wanted to give it
a try, this is the perfect book
for you!!   Please take a moment
and visit her Blog. at...

Recently Diana gave us a challenge
a creative NUDGE if you will, to
try creating something from the fabric
or paper scraps that we
ALL have been hoarding...mm... I
mean collecting....!! The 
challenge is to glue the pieces
down onto a journal and just play
and not be concerned with being exact...which I have a
habit of doing too much TWEAKING in my art!!!
Anyway....so here is what I call my Scrappy Happy
Journal Cover....some of these fabrics
are from a baby quilt I made a while ago,
I had saved every single scrap even the
words on the salvage....I love the one
on the lower side that says Boheme!

Ok, so now the rest of you go ahead
get "Scrappy Happy"!! Try making
something that might be out of your
comfort zone....but will free up some
of your piles of scraps that you have been
saving for that "SOMEDAY".....well someday
might just be "TODAY"!! It's alot
of fun... so go on now go get your glue stick and
some have FUN!!!
Show me what you have created ok? I would
love to see what you have come up with.
Diana called it a " Creative Revolution"
Lets start a Revolution of Creative Freedom!!!


Wishing you ALL Love, Blessings, Peace and BIG HUGS!!!

Susan :)

    Yes! I totally love this, the randomness of it and the abstract nature. Lovely! I see people doing this with paper but yours with fabric is quite unique. Nice work Susan! Can't wait to see what you put inside the journal, if you end up sharing that.

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Image
Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me. I always said he was a gift from God and he truly was. Tonight this is what I have learned.....even after my Sam has passed away he leaves this last gift   ....

Friends and Flowers

Hi Blogging Friends, I wanted to share this lovely bouquet of flowers that was brought to my door this afternoon. My dear friend Maggie sent these to me for my birthday.....they are so Beautiful and Maggie is an absolute doll to think of me. I know we all talk about our friendships here in blogland that we have found, and I know we appreciate each other very much. My life has changed so much in the last 9 years. I have had many surgeries and things going wrong physically which limited me quite a bit. Since 2003 I have not been able to drive anymore and that in itself was a big blow to me. I inherited a rare disease of the corneas in which I have had multiple surgeries for over the years, hence no more driving. Well I can go on but I will stop there. The real point in all of this is I have been lonely and needed somehow to connect with people and then I discovered the World of Blogging!!  WOW...I never dreamed that I would meet such loving and caring folks....
