Art of Mine

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. I bought this sweet Angel from a lovely lady and blogging friend from Denmark. 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. I bought this Angel heart for my dear granddaugher whom I can't wait to see and hold in another couple of months. Dorthe also added a couple of gifts. Dorthe created a beautiful Tag, the colors are so pretty...You may have to enlarge the picture to see the details in it. 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...

Good Day To All, YAY...It's Friday!!! I have to share with all of you a Cute little fellow who has been quite a Stir in this household recently. I was busy creating something...not sure exactly what....I knew it had to be orange and cute....well I worked on it went to bed...and woke up to find a very Handsome little fellow sitting on my work table with a big grin and a secret... He told me to Lift off his Hat...I thought it to be a strange request but I thought it wise to help Him out..... Yes... it was true, He was no mild mannered Pumpkin he had a Mission and He would follow it through till the end.....Yikes underneath His smart little Hat he was Mr. Pincushion!!! How clever He thought He was and I have to agree...I thought so too!!! Happy Warm Hugs to All!! Susan                                    ...

Hello Dear Friends, I have been thinking of Fall and wishing it would get a little cooler here in Ga. Another 90 degree day today! I have been busy gathering up Fall inspired items for a Fall Swap. It has been so much fun to go hunting for special items to put into this basket for my swap buddy. I can not go into detail now of course but when she receives the basket I will post some pictures for you to see. I posted this beautiful Game Bird for you to download. This print is from Dover so it is royalty free. I wish you all a wonderful day filled with every Happiness you can hold... Blessings, Susan xxoo

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...   http://dianatrout.blogspot.com/ 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...
