Art of Mine

Hello My Dear Friends...... I can not express to all of you how Excited I am to present this "Wonderful 100 Follower Giveaway" to All of You!!!  I wanted to make something very special to give to YOU and thought about what to make. I know that many of you, like me, love the wonderful Fabric Journals  that are being made and sold.I have drooled over them and have wanted to make one for so long...well my dear friends I MADE ONE!!! This is the first fabric book I have ever made and I think you will Love it as much as I do. First I incorporated fabrics from England when once upon a time I lived. I put many elements into this fabric book that I adore and drool over that I have seen. There are pockets...filled with wonderful goodies, vintage lace, vintage buttons, stamps, vintage cabinet card. The middle section is a mini sewing station with pockets filled with sewing notions. Are you DROOLING yet?? This Fabric Journal is almost 7in x 7in ...

Howdy Ya'll!! How is Monday going for all of you? Whew mine was....well stressful. I had to handle something very important on the phone for my mom today and I'm wiped out, but it all worked out ok...so now I can come on here and have some fun!! Once again I entered the Blissfull ATC Swap and this month the theme was "Dark".....ugghhh I thought what the heck can I do with Dark? I had to come up with something rather scary, evil, umm well you get the idea. My wonderful trading partner was Yvette from "The Charm House". Yvette has already posted mine so I thought I would post the one she made for me and mine too. I love Yvette's spooky little house don't you....and the big moon is great!! Thank you Yvette so very much!! Love it!!                                          ...

 Hello Dear Friends, I feel like I have been away a very long time from All of you!! What have I been doing?? Taking care of my Mom has been on the top of the list. My Mom lives with me and my hubby and she is 90yrs. Dr. appointments...cleaning cooking, laundry.....A new caregiver comes once a week now to help out with her bathing etc. So glad we have her!! A neighbor of ours lost his wife about a month ago and so my husband and I visited him and also have bought a few things from him as he is going to live in an assisted living home the end of this week. He is such a lovely man and so was his wife. Marilyn was a very crafty lady...ummm his wife loved to make things and paint furniture as well!! I bought a lovely book case with the fold down glass doors for each shelf. I will put some pictures up on my next post. For your viewing pleasure today is a journal layout I did for the Creative Revolutionaries group I belong to. We had to take some random pictures...

Hello Dear Friends!! Hope your Friday is going well for You!! I want to share with you today a Sweet little Angel that I bought recently for my Granddaughter that will be born the begining of December.

Many of you know Dorthe and love her already but for those who have not met her please go visit Dorthe http://denlillelade.blogspot.com/ Her sweet spirit comes out in her wonderful artistic creations.

Second is the lovely Driftwood piece that Dorthe wound some hand stamped fabric strips around. Thank you Dorthe for your kindness and generous spirit that you show to everyone. Friendships are...

Hello All, I wanted to share with all of you today a recent swap I did with my friend Melinda. I joined Michele's "Fall Intrigue Basket Swap" and I was partnered with Melinda. We both received our baskets from one another. This  lovely basket is from Melinda. It came wrapped so sweetly as you can see. Inside the green cellophane was a Pumpkin Basket filled                                  with such lovely items. Melinda gave me a beautiful metal leaf dish. Some yummy chocolate almond caramel candy, Fall and Halloween stickers. A lovely net ribbon with brown shabby Roses attached. A package of Cinnamon tea light candles, smells wonderful! Last but not least the most lovely handmade Quilted table topper made for just for me by Melinda. Isn't it gorgeous? Thank you sweet Melinda...
